1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I will always be annoyed by folks from Seattle (or California, or Utah, wherever) listing their vehicles on Colorado craigslist... but I will never be upset to see a JDM 4x4 Toyota fire truck with OZ Rally wheels: https://denver.craigslist.org/cto/d/denver-1995-toyota-dyna-ly161-4x4-fire/7322489716.html

 

Having seen what I have seen in construction/mechanical/electrical lines of work it scares me what you programmers could do

I see wiring as the "explainittomelikeim5" version of stringing code together. And the neglect I've seen in the panel shop from licensed union electricians has me



Makes me want my house I build to be as tech free as it possibly can be lol

 

That place imports the most awesomest vans from Japan.. given their condition and the amount of paperwork they go through to make em US legal "kinda" justifies the price

That Fire truck is on another level tho

Same. I have some tech in my house, but its all locally controlled, as little cloud stuff as I can manage.


Similar reason why I like my taco so much, its entirely manual. Even the AC controls are cable actuated

 

Speaking of most awesomest vans from Japan... https://santafe.craigslist.org/cto/d/taos-ski-valley-wd-toyota-townace-camper/7321036776.html

 

Honestly you have most bases covered

That's a big reason why I settled on only buying a 98-00

 

Probably one of the only vehicles I'd keep stock

 

Interesting stuff about Portal Axles on the 100 series.

I was looking for a good set of 1/2" impacts and I got this set. I've been very happy with it. My only "complaint" is that the shallow 19mm is 3/8ths drive, which you use with the adapter. Sometimes that is too long, so I bought a single 1/2" drive shallow 19mm and now I'm super happy with everything. I use it all the time. Just did my LCA bushings, steering rack bushings, and front diff bushings with it.

It's nice that comes in a compact box. It saves time compared to searching around in a larger toolbox.

 

Morning, slept like a baby last night. Guess I didn't realize how bad my reflux had got

 

GTFO my parking lot. Cat chases coyote away. Reminds me of my cat.

Every night there is a pack of coyotes that patrol our neighborhood and if a cat actually tried to chase them off the cat wouldn't come back. They recon solo but call to group up and hunt.

 

The guys I’m living with currently pickup retro game/computer deals like I pickup used Toyota parts. House is littered with 80s IBM PCs, Nintendo/Sega consoles, old mechanical keyboards and other stuff like that. One guy makes a decent amount off of flips. The other guy spends all his profits on rare Nintendo 64 stuff and weed.

 

One of my exes had an indoor/outdoor cat that would fend off coyotes. Her house was in the foothills so they were everywhere. Would see her cat chase them off the yard whenever they got too close

Coyotes are big wimps, they don't want anything to do with prey that fights back

 

I got the same exact one! it's a great little set in a great little case. I agree completely on the 19mm too.

 

I've been eyeing their 1/2 drive impact set for suspension work.

I already have a 3/8 drive Gearwrench set that I use for damn near everything else.
