1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Oh shit you're here?

 

Hu

 

the 1st gen 5 speed shifter is a threaded knob correct?

 

Sorta. Been running up and down between Gonzales and Gilroy all week, with a quick trip to Santa Cruz yesterday when I had a break.

 

Yes

 

coolio. guy wants to keep the old shifter as a memento since that was his dads last truck. so i'm going to order a TRD one just so ones on it.

 

Yup, just like t case

 

i've gotten to use to the new push on style shit they do now on alot of car. (i think the new toyotas are still thread on on the manuals though)

 

Badass

Pono Hawaiian Grill

They carry beer from local breweries which are pretty good, and I love their Poke and Sliders

Definitely recommend

I eat there every time I go to SC

 

Poke sounds amazing. We’ll see how things go, maybe I can slide through there again on the way to the airport.

this is one of those weeks where everything takes longer than i think it will

 

Also Gilroy reeks of garlic.


Guy in the elevator warned me not to try the garlic ice cream.

 

That sounds so intriguing that I'd have no choice but to try it haha

 

Garlic capital of the world brother

Salinas is the lettuce capital

And Castroville is the artichoke capital

 

I saw the artichokes yesterday when the local guy gave me a tour. Didn’t realize how big they are before.

it’s also weird seeing all the people out doing the manual picking, it’s all mechanized in the Midwest

 

@Wulf tips for welding my 4r diff

 

@0xDEADBEEF and @Kwikvette. If you are in Monterey bay Hula's is pretty darn good as well.

That's how it is here until it gets cold then those people head out to Arizona.

There are companies that employ the staff, and just pick up the job to provide labor to say, Taylor Farms or Fresh Express and the sort.

Those companies don't have their own employees picking said vegetables.

In fact, recently I met the CEO of someone that does just that...but his employees solely work on harvesting marijuana. He was one of the first to pursue it some years ago as a lot of people in CA were shying away from marijuana.

Now he's got a shit ton of money (more than he knows what to do with), he always has work coming his way, and he's grown and covers several different states.

 

They took plenty of stuff off their menu which is why I quit going

Really good as I've eaten there often.

 

And Blythe leads the US in meth heads per square foot

 

Clean the fuck out of it with non chlorinated brake cleaner (chlorinated is not safe and creates poisonous gas when welded)

Put the ground clamp on the carrier itself. Not the ring gear. Not the third member housing. You want the shortest path for the electricity and you don't want it going through your bearings or gears.

Some people get by just welding the spider gears to themselves. I'm guessing you're not that guy. Trust me. Cut some coupons of 3/16 plate to weld in there there if you have any.
