1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

There's a place that specializes in selling work clothing and I've seen carhartt jackets there.

Only found really thick ones that aren't as casual as I'd like; I will say they do look and feel like a quality jacket that'll last a damn long time.

Fuck..or A and C

It's tough but definitely A.

 

They all look the exact same to me

 

Arcteryx looks like some really neat merchandise.

I wear a fairly common sport coat size that works for "off the shelf" purchases without alteration. Its been a while since I needed to buy a sport jacket.

I have a Carhartt winter coat that I've been wearing since 2008.

 

Go buy a minivan

 

So I got turned to them some years back when I'd do shoot houses and night shoots in cooler weather; it progressed to cold nights and rain even and I found Arcteryx to last a long time. The materials offer great breathability so no fear of sweating and maintaining moisture while you're in colder weather; being in a cold sweat sucks.

I'll look at Carhartt's offerings online; like I told Jake I only found trade-work specific jackets so I don't really know what I'm missing.

By the way it's been a minute, how's the LX coming along?

I like this one - https://www.carhartt.com/products/c...ulated/Full-Swing-Armstrong-Active-Jac-103371

Says I'm a medium...guy in the pic is wearing a medium but he's 6'2"

I'm only 5'7"

 

B and C all day.

 

I actually have one of the first ones that made like that. It has a plaid inside like a plaid shirt.

 

Is there anywhere you can try one on? Murdoch's, Big R, tractor supply, milsurp stores usually have them.

FWIW height is not everything because you can be tall and have a short torso. at 6'3" with a short torso a regular cut shirt or jacket medium fit me when I was cut. I still wear medium backpacks.

 

Thanks for asking. No real change since I put on the rear bumper. It needs to be aligned to fit better. Maybe I can get my kid to help me with it this weekend.

Right now I'm waiting for Dobinsons front shocks to arrive so I can start and finish the suspension lift. I should have some sliders arriving around the 1st of the month.

I need to finish the suspension to remove AHC to install the sliders.

How's the 4Runner coming?

 

All of this.

 

Hmm true

I'll try and swing by that one place that sells work clothes.

I've only seen the really thick jackets meant for welding and what not, but those I found online look really comfy.

 

Looking like a badass rig; I forgot some of your suspension components were on backorder and stuff.

Lift that thing 2" and it's going to look like a real beast.

Are you doing anything for a rack? Can't remember if you intended to sleep in the actual truck or not.

 

@CS_AR

As for the 4Runner, things are on the back burner until my rear bumper gets built.

Ordered it 2 1/2 weeks ago; dual swing out for a full spare and jerry can.

After that, I'll swing by @eon_blue and grab that skid plate he's got set aside, then try to motivate myself to send Zuk my front diff and harrop locker for install.

That gives Dallas plenty of time to win that $100 bet I made with him

Otherwise, looking for a set of wheels, and a Sherpa rack and it should be done for the while.

I'll want to take the GF and the dog camping in it a few times and continue with the build from there; I want to get slide out drawers, etc. but don't want to commit to it just yet.,

 

I'm planning to sleep in the rig on top of the Dobinsons drawer box. That will work without having to worry about a tent.

I do need to get a rack I think. I've been eyeing a Gamiviti rack like the one in the picture. If they have some type of Black Friday sale I might spring for one.

There are so many rack config options and choices that it blows my mind.

 

Cool.. I'm with ya on waiting for parts to arrive. This one has been an exercise in patience.
