1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Think I've seen those posted elsewhere in the Welding section.

 

Maybe, I got the recommendation from a travelling welder friend of mine and they're seriously good shit. I pick up stuff that's way too hot and often dirty and they're not phased. When I worked at the machine shop welding offshore drill rig square drives I wasn't even phased by the heat off that 600a welder burning in the 1/8" fab core mig wire.

Looks like they should've gone driver but went too far passenger.

Weight/momentum helped topple over.

 

Yep.. Should have kept the left wheel on solid footing. It almost looks kind of top or front heavy.

 

Dickies eh?

 

I wear stick welding gloves for grinding and jobs where there’s some danger involved for the same reason. The HF Vulcan ones are easier to use on a table when you’re doing in position work stacking dimes.

 

make sure stuff under the dash isn't bent out of place and bend it back if necessary

 

yes, it is very common to fear the drop off on the driver side, go too far pass side, and get in trouble as a result

 

Oof
$23K markup

On a 4R?

Ridiculous.

On a TRX?

Common.

People are paying $10k mark ups on Jeep Gladiators and here we're selling them at just MSRP.

 

"Availability," sure, but still, that's insane.
How anyone could be that hard up for a new 4R right now to pay that is beyond me.

 

The availability of morons is higher than the truck market.

 

I can't argue with that.

I just priced out a new Ferd at about $70k for the same factory options before dealer markup. Nahhhh

 

Yeah, we have finally gotten some crazy rain this last week. Sorely needed but a bit late since the fire damage has been done. Now it just makes things a little worse.

 

Yeah, I just ordered a Ram for a repeat customer of mine.

MSRP is just the hair over $90k; I'm hooking him up at invoice and it's still just over $85k.

 

Now they're predicting more flooding cause of a bump in the moon's rotation or something.

 

Wut
