1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Lube is cheap insurance since Taco is on lift anyway. 15k is adequate also.
60k is asking for catastrophic failure.
My $.02

 

I'm at almost 50k miles on the truck since i bought it, and i havent done it once, wish me luck

 

will update, thank you

 

I do mine about once a year as well, most times I do it I can put one pump in each zerk and you can see the old grease getting pushed out. The old stuff is definitely still in there

Makes a bloody mess too when the driveshaft flings it around

 

check the carrier bearing. The bushing around it tends to crack and deform over age/miles. In all that dry heat I wouldn't be surprised if it's starting to go or already has. Easy replacement to do

At least I assume 5 lugs have CBs...I think just the reg cabs don't have them.

At home, open book tests have got to be the stupidest thing ever, unless youre the student.

Make homework worth more

 

One of my favorite professors had homework worth 60% and tests worth 20%, the other little bit was projects. You learn the most from homework if you do it regularly and you do it regularly if its worth something.

 

It's upside down.

 

I don’t have exams in 2 of my classes this semester. One is just a group project due at the end, the other one is homework and labs.

it’s niiice

 

What about 275k

I replaced them, but they still worked

 

I think I finally came up with a name for the 100 series so now I can do a build thread. Sloopy.

 

Interesting stuff, cutting today that is.

 

it's not a phase?

 

Cutting through thin metal was quick and easy.

Cutting through thin metal double stacked with tiny gap in between was not so easy

In a situation like this, you wouldn't use oxy-fuel as you can just cut through it with a wheel. The reason why this was a little difficult at first was because the top layer wants to melt before the bottom layer cuts.

After figuring out how quickly the top layer melts I was able to cut the rest with ease.



I was given some pieces to cut through some welds. Being told that the welds themselves are stronger than the base metal, I kind of figured I would just need to sit on it a little bit longer.

Cut it easily.



Then I was given monstrosity, and told to cut it up and destroy it.

Didn't get a before picture but you get the idea.



That's also where I got the heart from, but it was before I cut the cubicle and half.

 

This might be a weird question, but does anyone know if there's an aftermarket steel bumper (could be weldable) that emulates the volume behind the OEM bumper near the bottom center?
That's where my intercooler is and I don't want to move it, but I kinda want a winch at some point.
