1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Throwback Tuesday.

May 2014:




May 2016: Replaced the saggy Tokico suspension and worn out coils/leaf springs with OME



9/11, 2017:
Sold the ARE commercial shell (I regret that) to prep for a Flippac.







August 2018:
Tundra brake upgrade…
SnugTop XTR, now on a 1st Gen DCSB trailer attached to a 1st Gen DCLB.





November 2018:
SnugTop SuperSport, now repainted and in mint condition on @Madjik_Man 's truck




As it sits today:





I'll be selling once I get the replacement (2nd gen with more airbags for my growing family).

 

Jumping in now.

 

Is that what you buy when you don't want the pentastar but can't afford a cool model?

 

Whatcha selling that nice camper tent deal for?

 

Correct; it's why everyone has one.

Hell, even IG has a ton of memes on it.

 

I actually dont do ladder tests. These guns shoot minute of battle rifle, so Im not going to great lengths trying to squeeze another 1/8" tighter grouping out of it.

Ill load up 4-5 groups of ammo in .5 gr increments and shoot 5 shot groups at different targets with the rifles rear sight set on whatever range Im shooting at. Whatever gives the tightest groups at my point of aim (elevation is what Im worried about) is what load I go with. Usually the rear sight on these milsurps is graduated in 100 yard/meter increments, and usually if its shooting point of aim at the 1 or 2 hundred yard mark, it will be on at further distances. This means the ammo is at or pretty close to the velocity of the ammo the gun was designed for.

 

Is this a poem

 

Good day of fishing today, so far I've done nothing that was planned for vacation

 

That's going on the 2.5 gen when I get it.
I may source another fiberglass shell before selling the 1st gen or just leave it topless.

 

I'd just leave it topless unless you can get those mini shells for super cheap. I don't think they add much value

 

Yeah, I'd have to find a steal to bother putting another shell back on this before selling. I figure with 40k on the full engine rebuild and 50k on the trans rebuild (w/ new torque convertor) it should pull a nice pile of cash in the current market.

 

What do you guys think about these?

$3

 

Wow! Congrats on the baby!!!!!!!!!

 

Maybe he took up Polygamy

 

We have been talking about the stopcams, they seem great if you're willing to get your alignment with normal cams in and then take it apart piece by piece to change it for those yourself.

 

Yea I wondering how you’d figure out the alignment, still don’t understand what you’re saying though haha

 

They said no 1st gen options. I tried to get in on the beta "free" set for feedback, but only 2nd gen and 4runner or something.

 

I'm saying it would be hellishly hard to align the truck with those in place, it's actually not possible. You'd have to have your stock cams in to get the alignment, then afterward swap them out one by one for these to maintain the alignment.

 

I saw your comment haha, still wonder about them though
