1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Tillman tig gloves and a miller blue cotton jacket. Maybe $50 for both from Airgas. My helmet is a Jackson Safety auto darkening.

 

Oooh yeah I forgot about Airgas; used to get my co2 from them.

Thanks for that.

 

If you have a local place or local supply chain, go there instead, AirGas prices are universally terrible for welding supplies and gases. We have a place here called Norco, that I freaking love for gas prices. And another that's more common called Oxarc that has consumables and safety gear with good prices. The Airgas is price fixed or something to a crazy high national average or something, their stores are super corporate style

 

Figured I'd go to figure sizing for certain brands, but you're right regarding the cost for their gas.

I only got a discount as a guy that's worked there for years bought a car from us and recognized me there one time.

 

Airgas in my area is about the same price on apparel/ppe as anywhere else. Its their consumables where they bend you over.

 

@JKO1998

I should check FB more often; winch sold for $380



It's interesting that I did see the price increase from $599 to $629

 

Wat increase?

I’ll be picking this up here soon

 

That's right, I remember you linking that.

And an increase of $30 no?

I thought the regular price was always $600

 

Yea HF winch went up

 

went and saw the FJ today. bodys rusty. need floor pans and some other stuff. fenders and hood? solid. Frame? solid. has some other goodies for it too. its currently sitting on top of a corvette C4. LOL

 

For those of y'all who were talking about finding a nice manual DD to save gas, I present... the world's cleanest Geo Metro. Three pedals, 50mpg a drop top... and a 0-60 time three seconds slower than a stock Tacoma.

Anybody have an opinion on General Grabber ATX tires? I need a new set of 285/75/r16s for my 2nd gen.

 

I had the older one, the AT2, on a Grand Cherokee. They were good in snow and well mannered on the highway. I didn't do any wheeling with them, though.

I think they grip better in wet than KO2s due to all the sipes. I think they are quieter too.

I have different General Grabbers LR E on my trailer instead of trailer tires and they're bitchin.

 

i've got friends that run them. they have no complaints. not great at anything but also not bad at anything. for the price they seem like a decent buy

 

good to know, I don't do much wheeling in the 2nd Gen its my daily driver. But do drive in the snow a lot. I think I may give them a chance.

 

they are $200 cheaper than the BFGs and im getting sick of only getting 30,000 miles out of a set of tires.

 

lol that's pretty much what I tell friends about KO2s

good at most things, not great at anything

 

I avidly hate the ko2s my last set sucked so bad i returned them.

 

Damnit now I sound like @Speedytech7
