1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

So if I'm following through with a zuk rebuild and locker install I should continue with my original thought of new gears then?

 

I FORGOT ABOUT THAT VIDEO

 

nah if zuk is throwing in a locker I would trust him to make it work out. That's his bread and butter, yea?

But I would want to ship him the complete thirds so he can take all the pre install measurements needed and not send in your thirds with the used gears separate

 

Cool! Thanks for that. Reusing those gears would save me 500 bones which makes the truck purchase only 500!

 

I can use my passenger door again, metal handles are the shit


Needa replace that window trim


And probably the mirror at some point still

 

Devil's advocate, you could probably sell the thirds for $500-600 and buy the new gears

 

Oh man, never gotten to play with those languages, they're all before my time. Makes ya wonder if one might be worth learning on the off chance I find someone who needs something fixed. That kind of stuff is very much still in operation, and companies are reluctant to replace it. I know COBOL and Fortran programmers are in that boat too.

Yeah we're neck deep in Ansible, its fantastic, at least internally. I can run one command on my laptop and it'll load up N target devices with an app - pulling in all the linux packages, python packages and docker images, setting up the settings, launching the docker swarm services along the way. Very powerful stuff. The pain point right now is giving it to customers because you have to run it from Linux and the departments we're working with (which aren't IT departments, preferably), don't usually have any linux background and their corporate assigned computers are locked down six ways from Sunday.

 

I like your thinking lol


I'd probably part out the truck anyway after stripping what I want from it.... which seems like a sin since it's a runner and a driver

 

on the other hand you are sacrificing one truck to keep many others on the road


it's probably worth more parted out than whole if you have the time/effort to part out

 

I can dig the logic... the purchase is still up in the air, it'll depend on how much side work dude wants me to do to his landscaping equipment. It won't be worth it if I've got to shell out another 1k in parts for his stuff

 

Koyo

 

This is pretty much exactly what happened to a buddy of mine last year with his FJ Cruiser lol.

 

That window trim is worse than the faded flares my Tacoma had

 

The chrome identifies as black

 

Was that one of the rare times there's actually water in an LA runoff?
