1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Learning pains sure do hurt sometimes


Share a story to make you feel better. I was 19 and had a 87 VW that I was trying to "rebuild" while it was my daily. Did a trans filter and fluid service and didn't realize you were supposed to fill the trans from the dipstick tube. Filled the pan up with as much fluid as it would hold and then spilled half of it all over myself as I attempted to reinstall the pan.


Drove it like that 100 miles before I asked the guys at work (I was at a heavy equipment rental yard) why it felt funny shifting.



It kept running but burnt DTF by the quart. Whenever it would shift like a dragster with a valve kit, I knew it was time to add more fluid

 

Dood, you've literally already said this before

 

Can you look into the ECU to see if there are any burn marks or burned or blown chips? I've seen people fix their blown 5th gen ECUs. There must be an ECU diagram somewhere to get this.

Installed Trail-Tailor rear upper and lower control arms this weekend.

Had to change the grease zerk from straight to a 45-degree angle so the zerk can be reached.

 

He just finished building it. I feel bad for him. Supposed to be on Cleghorn Trail. I see some rollovers on that trail. San Bernadino? @eon_blue @Kwikvette

 

You gotta pay to play

 

.

That was in the same spot that one Tacoma rolled and got dragged out on its side a few weeks back.

Cleghorn is basically a fire road with several offshoots that have challenging sections. So it draws a lot of people from 2wd SUVs to built Jeeps.

That particular offshoot has a really steep dropoff ledge that's at a weird angle - basically shoots your tail end straight up in the air as you go down it. As long as you do it straight you're fine, but I think people get sketched out and try skirting it or approaching it at an angle instead of head on. Next thing you know - flippity floppity

 

I've only done Cleghorn a couple times and that section once, that trail attracts way too many bros on SxS's that fly around all over the place and nearly hit you head on

 

Ow, my head.

 

It depends on what aisle you're in, the gardening section usually has the least amount of foot traffic

 

Hmmm

If you go west of the 15 along 138 there is a lot of fun trails that the valley Bros don't go to. Some more challenging spots with out the crowd. When I lived in Wrightwood we always took the bikes out there.

 

FIFY

 

It's a CA thing, you wouldn't understand

 

It was better before you touched it.

 

That front weather seal for the shell, up against the cab, should I just clamp and re gasket it in place? Online I was seeing new ones for like 150 fk that. Not dry rotted, just came off

 

False.
