1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

The Michelins haven't let me down yet but two are getting low. It might be nice to have a mildly more aggressive tire if I take the truck hunting or am in muddy trail head parking lots for winter wheeling

 

I might be splitting hairs but I thought the law was only if the vehicle is equipped with a license plate light that it has to work, not that it has to make the plate clearly visible

 

awesome thank you

 

I would even consider 80W90 acceptable. Differentials are pretty basic

 

Well whatever makes it "legally" visible that's all.

 

CA cops would probably disagree... they are pretty strict from the sound of things. here in CO a buddy got pulled over for having bulbs that weren't bright enough to illuminate it before consumer LEDs were "bright" like they are now

 

Supposed to be almost 90˚ here tomorrow/Friday, what the fuck January

Least the temp light is an LED and plenty bright.

 

You go say your Hail Mary's and pray for forgiveness

 

ooof that brought back memories

 

where the oceans fine ass at?

 

I'm going to wear a speedo and rub on all the vehicles to make them rust

We've been on the subject of extended travel cv axles; posting here to not deviate from the other thread but check these out -

Cheaper than the pair of RCVs for $2k

Anyone familiar with these being that they're chromoly but at half the cost?

I'm invested in 2 ext travel cv axles, and although it's not much money total, if I knew about these I might have gotten a pair of them.

 

Wow I remember when those were $900 a couple years ago

 

I seem to remember those being more expensive before, IDK. Says only 6 in stock so maybe they are just trying to clear them out?

 

@theesotericone runs RCVs, maybe he knows more about these Lotus ones

 

You sure that wasn't for another brand?

 

Yeah he runs the $2k set I considered until I bought other shit like my locker.

 

roommate: you were being unreasonable about me using the garage the other day

me: how so?

roommate: it's weird that you came out and just sat in your truck (parked outside) while I was working and kept walking around

me: yea I was installing the remote start antenna and programming the keys... had to come in for tools to take the headliner apart. and there was a 12 minute lock out for programming the keys

roommate: oh I thought you were just being creepy and watching tv while I worked or something

 

No, was lotus. I can't remember where I saw it.
