1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Relentless Fab I think makes bed stiffeners.

 

Crazy to hear what's happening on the east coast. I've been keeping an eye on our gas stations when driving by but they appear to be business as usual...no lines or people filling up jerry cans (or trash bags, seriously wtf)

Prices keep going up though, station I normally fill up at is at $4.25/g now for 91. Fun fun

 

not surprised, even the smallest amount of flex on these beds keeps the tail gate from closing. After I installed my Avid bed rack (just two cross bars and a basket), even without the RTT on my tailgate wouldn't close unless I closed it with the handle pulled up.

Course that's not an issue anymore now that my tailgate lives on the side of our house

As for the unfixed damage though I would see what USAA says, that's what we pay them for anyway

 

$4.70 in Oakland for 91, lol. It’s actually cheaper in San Francisco for some odd reason. It’s always been.

 

it's called the poor tax

 

And look at you today, frying wires on a Nissan ECU


They grow up so fast

 

Should have got a carb'd Z

 

looks like a shoe

 

You look like a shoe

 

get speed before each obstacle, drop to neutral to avoid the axles snapping each time lol

 

I knew that was coming

or as my daughter would say... 'SUUUUUEEESSSS'

 

depends on where u live. I had none in queen creek growing up, but buddy 5 houses down the street killed a canful of them each weekend with a black light in his backyard.


There was one dead in our condo when i was painting prior to moving in, but the gf made me spray up and down for them. Bout that time to go back and spray for the bugs and scorpions again now that i think bout it

 

Yeah I have to go around our house every couple weeks starting about this time of year and spray for spiders, little fuckers camp out all around the base of the house. Last thing I need is our daughter to wander into a black widow web

Nevermind, I see what it is now

 

You mean the part that is very plainly circled in red

 

You think I looked at the picture

 

Rago Fabrication makes some. Not a fan of drilling into the bed but I’m also not a fan of my bed splitting apart.

Two 1st gen guys left reviews, pictures, and install tips since everything on the site is geared for 2nd/3rd gen installs.

 

It’s a tough call. Especially if all 1st gen beds flex like this and the factory design is just inadequate. USAA could ask the body shop to fix it and they’ll be pretty much unable to do anything.
