1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

That's a scary situation right there. I had the same style pullup bar; the issue I had was the braces on the sides of the bar that set on each end of the door frame have foam on them, and the foam was detonating. That was causing the braces to constantly rub on the door and the door frames paint was getting warm down to the wood as a result.

 

hoping this is a short enough use in my case the foam will last.

 

Interesting, I didn't know anyone made them for 1st gens. I was looking maybe a year ago and didn't find any, but I didn't look too hard. Just checked the usual well-known vendors.

I'd be interested in seeing if anyone has any experience with them, I don't 100% know if they're necessary in my case but when I have my RTT and bed fully loaded up, I do worry about the thin metal the bed is made out of getting stress cracks from all the weight and twisting around

 

yeah once this blows over and the gyms open back up I'll probably sell mine locally. I hate working out at home because I don't feel as motivated. The act of going to the gym keeps me more inclined to do more of a "complete" workout since it's a destination. Some people are way more disciplined and can do home gyms but I just can't lol.

In this case though it will be better than nothing for the time being

 

@greengaint97 installed them last June. Looks like you have to drill 10 holes through the bed to bolt them on and there's no backing plates, just washers that aren't that large. They may help, but how many 1st gen beds have cracked (unlike the 2nd gens, which is pretty much guaranteed with a RTT/top/camper and driving off road)...

Anyway, Rago is having 15% off RIGHT NOW which brings them down to under $105...

 

I can name like 3 people right now with cracked beds haha

 

If they're who I'm thinking of, those guys go hard (go-fast type stuff) so I'm not surprised. I tend to avoid that kind of wheeling because I'm not at that level of DIY repairs yet and I certainly can't afford to have a shop make those kinds of repairs all the time lol.

 

Dan seems to be fairly mellow

 

True, but he also uses his truck recreationally way more often than most of us do...and on much longer trips.

 

Fair, my beds all sorts of out of shape though, not cracks, just bends.

 

same same. When I lived with the parents I had a full workout room with a rack and everything. That was really the only time I would have motivation to workout at home and it was a full setup.

Like u said it's just to make sure u doing something for now. P much to help us not have jello arms or legs when we get back. Who knows where things are going haha

For sale

 

City of phoenix just declared state of emergency. Bars and restaurants close up except for take out and to go's starting 8 pm tn.


Seems to be just the start for Az rn

 

CO has that as of 8 am today

 

how much worse have the stores got since the announcement was made?

seems like labelling it a state of emergency would stir the pot again. I just wanna work from home already lols

 

seems like it's been consistently bad since last week around Thursday or Friday

 

*volume warning, keep it at 60% or lower*

This is the Pterinochilus murinus, commonly known as the Orange Baboon Tarantula, or better yet, the Orange Bitey Thingy

Most defensive tarantula you will ever come across, not to mention their venom is medically significant. You don't want to get bitten by this thing...

Local tarantula owner someone here found for me on Craigslist has one for sale and I inquired about it; waiting to hear back still.

 

ah so no real change since they made the announcement for u guys this morning, good. I was worried for a sec haha

 

I though it would stir the panic up again as well, but it didn't seem to do so very much out here either. As I suspected, all the hoarding panic driven morons from a few weeks ago have mostly stocked up to their fill and aren't doing it as much. Still have lines and a lot more people out shopping than usual, but it's not as bad as it was a week ago.
