1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

That's quite an odd combo of black metal and sports decorating. I want to hang out with one half but hate the other. Obviously the black metal people are the ones I want to hang with.

 

If you want a good seal, do it right and ditch that foam tape crap that is probably still sitting on it. The front portion of the seal is where you'll have the most issues. The seal below includes goop to even it out and fill in the gaps on the front.

I dunno, the backyard seemed a little over the top. Also, the coffin in the living room

 

Im confused.. which seal? Is it a hard plastic one?

Regretfully gasket stuff is expensive for anything good or long lasting

 

Lolol I just recommended these two products to him

Great minds think alike

 

Will bookmark those to do soon, thank you.


I'm at work so I can't take a good pic, but there's rubber liner that seals the cab of the truck to the shell, which is half on and half off rn from the sun eating the silicone off

 

Hard rubber ya, I pulled off the rear hard rubber and am gonna try and see if I can make it fit.(the dangling shit) But seems warped from the sun

 

Better shot of the rear strip I pulled for now.

 

Fuck that seal, rip it all off IMO. Doing what I told you with the bicycle tube takes care of the issue that seal is trying to do. Here's a picture of a product that's meant to do the same thing..about 35 bucks, but I did it with a tube instead

 

I believe the bike inner tube will be higher quality too.

 

Yea that's another dust ingress prohibitor.. replacing with new is a major pain in the ass cause usually the glass frame gets all forked up and it's hard sliding a new seal in.. given the age I'd buy new one of those as well, honestly it's a good idea to change any rubber parts when you get a used cap, unless it's a newer unit which I don't think your's is given the state of that seal

 

Getting one for a fatty bike tire, I think it is... only issue is the shifting that can happen with elevation changes. Which cause the inner tube to expand or deflate depending what direction your going

 

Oh shit u sent me a gold mine full of info thanks. I will read thru that as I get time today. Ya the front seal looked like that rear one, loose. Can I go in and pressure wash the inside? I think he had foam down on the caps seal point, as it hasn't slid and seemed tight but I'll double check.


Idk if I'll bother getting keys made yet, but will need new shocks for the rear window too. I noticed he had wires by the rear window, but there's no tail light on the shell, interested to dig on that too

 

Yeah the frame seems ok, but the rubber had melted and morphed. I tried popping it back in and then removing it and trying it all again. That on Amazon too?

Tbh, I was just gonna gasket it back on with silicone but luckily ripped it all off to do it the right way. Now my hands are just all blue from the gasket hahaha

 

You're in AZ, go ahead and pressure wash it, it'll dry out no problem. Alot of these caps have the 3rd taillight on the rear window and that's what those wires are for, but given their location they break off stupid easy

 

Yup they can be found on Amazon no problem.. hopefully you still have the old gasket so you can inspect the side profile and get some measurements, different brands are slightly different in their mounting points

 

Weird thing is, there's no cut out even for that light. Might try to use it for a lil plug in heater or sumthing spliced in. Thank you so much for ur pool of info and knowledge, luckily I kept the old strip!

 

It won't necessarily have a cut out, mine didn't.

You'll probably see the threads of 2 screws through the aluminum framework where the 3rd tail light used to be... I'll take a picture of mine to show you.


Is your inside carpeted? There's a chance those wires are for a domestic light option thatsome caps came with
