1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Bro, you knew exactly where my head was

Too hard to make a meme on my phone during my short lunch break tho lol

Good looking out

 

I got you fam

Always on the same wavelength

 

@Tour991
@Das it mang
@Kwikvette

Yes I tagged myself cause

 

I don’t need that in my life

 

Hey I kept the one that got knocked off on the trails at Moab, I sent you a brand new one

Another reason I'm looking forward to a new LCA is that I can finally attach the bumpstop on the right way lol

 

No, you're right, it stayed on...though we had to chase it once or twice

Seems both you and Jimmie had the same capture nut issue.

 

Yeah it's just tack welded in there I think, snaps off easily

 

After the second time it came off, I figured I'd just try running without it to save us the headache of having to stop while I zip tied it back on

After going down a couple ledges on Fins N Things sans bump stop I quickly changed my mind, that was not a good feeling

 

You can do what I'm going to do and drill the hole slightly larger then install a pop nut.. like a rivet but with threads.

This is an example but the wrong size. I need to order the metric ones

 

Can only imagine.

I had the Duro's in the rear, and remember thinking 'this is going to hurt' when I watched Todd fall off some steps.

But when it was our turn to go, the drop was soft as hell.

Don't even remember Danny saying anything bad at all about the ride the entire time.

 

Man I'm learning all kinds of cool ways (and names) to use rivnuts these past couple days haha

Yeah I had originally thought about doing something like that, drill a hole big enough for a long socket and maybe just put a nut on the end of it. But I need to replace that LCA now anyway to hopefully correct my alignment issue

The JB weld works surprisingly well, the only reason it came off in Moab was because the shop that did my LCA bushings knocked it off and I didn't notice until we left for Moab, so I used one of Nelsons and zip tied it on. No surprise there, zip ties do not work well to hold a bump stop on lol.

The JB weld works because the bump strikes the plate in the vertical up/down motion, but if something hits it from the side it comes off easily.

 

where has @Running Board Man been?

 

Thought I saw him post yesterday

I'm still wondering how @cruiserguy is doing, we haven't heard from him in 7 or 8 months now...hope he's doing OK

 

Maybe @Running Board Man started up CamryWorld

 

Daaaaamn

we sure lost a great one

 

Wonder how long before you can 3D print sliders out of carbon/nylon?

 

I was just thinking of him yesterday too.

I know someone had his phone number and reached out, but wasn't sure if he wanted to remain private or not.

 

That was my plan as well but I'm actually going to get a 20' shipping container instead. About 3K delivered.

 

They are awesome little devices! We use em alot at my new job.. those as well as PEM fasteners, which are very similar but different
