1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

As long as they fit and work properly, I really don't care. Although it would be nice to know just to be able to find spares in the junk yard if needed.

 

oh no, lol...he knows I'm a real person. We've talked several times via email, and we have hired his agency a couple times in the past few years. He's just one of those really pushy/clingy business types that thinks the more you press someone the more likely they'll eventually give in.

I was willing to put up with it until he took it upon himself to start randomly adding the owner of the company onto the emails he was sending to me. And he started doing that last year, I asked him to stop and he did...but now he started doing it again because I wasn't responding to his weekly "hey got any work for us?" emails. So, now he gets the ban hammer lol

 

no pipe touching, had it cut when installed the exhaust so it dumps down behind the axle. Granted the tire might have been more like 2 inches from exit the exhaust pipe. But me blasting 3-4 k rpms up and down the mountain 10 miles to town and back and this happened from the fumes only.

I won't run it then, my GF was adamant to just keep it for now, but the charring is down between the treads and that scares me of a blow out like u said. I'm an idiot, but not dumb enough to have ran it like that the whole 2 hours going up north.

70 bucks on a spare well spent

 

Oh yeah, I'd have gone the same route as you. I don't work with those types of personalities, generally speaking lol

 

Live in learn, believe me I've made far more expensive mistakes in my time lol. It may not blow out on a short trip but the vibration would be bad IMO. And $70 is pretty cheap for peace of mind in getting a new spare.

Back when Goodyear (I think? Maybe it was Firestone) had that massive recall on the tires they were putting on new Fords, my parent's Expedition had them on and one of them blew out on the highway with all of us in the SUV traveling at least 75mph. Scary shit

 

At 90 you loose the truck sucky part was it was a brand new tire

 

I may or may not have the taco soon

 

It already rotted away?

 

Pictures earlier today. Rot is an understatement

 

Gotta find a frame. Body looks decent.

 

Or part out

 

Wait I thought you said you were getting Miguel's frame awhile back. Or is this a single cab frame you need, not sure if they're different or not

 

I couldn’t get my 32” to fit under there. Maybe if I vent the ends of the clamps it would.

 

Reg cab. Shorter.

 

Hey for $300.. I’ll take the bait. I’ll store it with my buddy for free.

if not part out

 

back on the list for to-do's is another spare then haha.

Least u guys get a bit of warning from my mistakes

 

@Tour991 if I get the title in hand I’ve got my buddy looking for a frame and if you come across one hit me up

 

Keep it 5 lug or go 6 lug. That’s the real question. I have the trans to go 4x4

 

How about you fix your truck first?
