1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I'm too dumb to not accidentally post in the other thread

 

Still waiting on parts for the 4R

@Speedytech7 how's the LC suspension refresh?

@CS_AR what else do you have planned for the LX?

 

The LCs case is split open waiting on seals. I ordered em, supposed to come today actually. Then I can drive it again. At that point I have to shelve suspension until spring, cause the truck needs its frame bolstered for safety.

 

Happy birthday @BartMaster1234 !!!!!

 

Apparently having type O blood gives you the best chance...I don't even know my blood type come to think of it.




On that note...I perused the site's CoC and I don't see anything mentioned about us not being able to talk about covid

I think the people getting banned for it are the ones getting political about it

 

lol the dude that fell backwards into the pool from his chair literally had the feet of it right on the edge of the pool, who does that

 

Hopefully this weekend.

1) Rock sliders
2) Front skid plates ARB + ASFIR
3) Trail-Tailor XFER and TRANS skid plate

Before year-end (providing I get some vacation time)

4) Remove rear compartment carpet, trim, and seat belts. Install sound deadening and put everything back together.
5) Install Dobinson's tool box.
6) Install wiring for rear bumper lights
7) Rear Upper and lower adjustable control arms.
8) Armor for rear shocks and control arms.
9) Install panhard drop kit
10) Release front LCA bolts and retorque at normal ride height to relive stress on bushings.
11) Another front end alignment.
12) Pinch weld mod.
13) Remove any remnants of AHC lines
14) Install bump stops

 

Ah shit

Well at least you won't have to do something like that again for a long time.

 

who TF puts a winch mount ON the trailer jack?

 

Someone who wants to test the tensile strength of thin wall box tubing. That whole thing is weird, it's high up so it can also bend down if pulling from low on the vehicle

 

big fat F- from me

 

Got damn

Why adjustable upper and lower rear arms?

I know uppers are for helping with locating, while also helping to achieve the pinion angle you need so you get rid of nasty vibes. I'd just be too afraid of having that much adjustability unless you match stock, and adjust from there.

I want to get low profile chase lights in the rear, just a pair, to go at the rear of my roof rack like this -

 

I'll probably copy my buddy's winch mount build

 

One benefit of doing uppers and lowers is correcting the rear thrust angle to 100% perfect. But it's also nice to get the axle back in the center of the wheel well cause lifting happens on a radius and more lift causes the tires to come closer to the front of the wheel well.

 

I do get that, just wonder if one can reference the FSM to get said numbers?

I'll need it for my 4R once my rear arms finally arrive. I haven't even installed my Sonoran Steel panhard bar.

 

Damn...how do you guys not know your blood type?

Next thing you know, you don't know your social either.

 

Send some of that our way, surprise surprise the Southwest US is in for another dry winter this year which is going to make for another inferno summer/fall season in 2021.

I remember back in 1997 living out here when we had an El Nino winter, it rained nearly every damn day (which of course for Socal presents another host of problems mostly people related). But man I would kill for a winter like that out here again, the snow in the mountains would be crazy.

 

Social is easy, I actually have to use that one somewhat regularly lol.

 

I can rattle off a drivers license number from a state i don't live in that I've used a handful of times without even thinking about it. And I know I'm O....something. My memory is swiss cheese.
