1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Waiting on one of you guys in this thread to post photos of yourselves like this….do it for those of us who have nowhere like that to drive

 

Even if you can't do it yourself just work an extra day of overtime make some extra cash and pay somebody to do it.

 

we don’t even know if the truck still exists

it’s been months

 

did it rust away?

 

That would be the most accurate theory

 

@xtremewlr is in the desert and @eon_blue is close to one as well

Rest of us have a ton of mountainous terrain

 

got mountains closer to here than desert thank god. But desert is not far on the other side of them




which is why we get colder than the rest of LA county in winter but sweatier than satan's ballsack in summer

 

Just driving down 395 from Tahoe to Socal is enough desert driving for me now.

I used to a lot of desert riding before I moved.

 

ya the mountains down here are more desert-y feeling until you get upwards of 7k ft, like Mt. Baldy, Lake Arrowhead or Big Bear

 

Got my paint for the 5 lug. Looks like I fingered a stripper.

 

I seriously love that craftsman tote, it's bitchin


Not sure when I'll make it down for that $2 whore diff (and other stuff you have saved for me lol) I'm still waiting for HeadStrong to send me the right leaf spring bushings then I need to order and buy LBJ, tie rods inner and outer. Plus bellows for the steering rack. Then I'll need to finish rebuilding my steering pump and rack


After all that's done I'll spend a 3 day weekend installing ALL the suspension and steering stuff hopefully in time for the camping trips my wife has scheduled




Would you hate me if I had you save it until October for the LT meet?

 

Or it never existed to start with

 

Good shit, you're truck is going to be driving like new once you're all done!

Wouldn't hate you but......

All the stuff that'd be going to you would have to leave the apartment no later than the first week of August.

I have that stuff specifically at the apartment; with Steph spending summer with me, I haven't been making the trips to Fresno to do small drop offs to her storage.

That means once summer is over, I have little time (and space) to vacate everything in my storage, as well as the apartment.

By October, I expect to be fully moved out of Salinas.

 

Heck yeah! What’re you painting the 5-lug? I think the color it is now is called cool steel.

Believe it or not that truck had better paint than my truck before I fixed the bad clear.

 

Definitely want to take it to Tahoe. I always found it funny the Coast Guard is at a lake.

 

Me a long ass time ago

 

@Abeyancer

With the exception of the monitor and diff, I can hold onto everything else.

The subwoofer and new KC Lites included.

I just don't want to risk damage to the monitor, and the diff/tote it's in is bulky.
