1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

It’s a one credit class for our Senior Design project, so yes probably lots of ditching early

it looks like ima have 13 credits to take

all of next year

 

sounds like the kind of class to bring beers to

 

With pizza

 

Coors used to give 3 free 8oz beers per day at their taproom. I think I was going at least 3x a week my senior year. I ended up having only one class on Friday and it was at 3pm and usually had done plenty of lawn beerin beforehand LOL

 

Looks at redbull vodka*

yeaaa
Beer

 

Sand and a salt brined and thats just on the main streets. Residential is mostly sand and cinder. The blue chemical is a nitrate mix. I do get more surface rust on my truck up here then I ever did down in Socal. But not like the east coast Tacomas get.

PLACER, WASHOE AND CALTRANS

Placer County, meanwhile, uses a mix made of over 95 percent sand and less than 5 percent salt to de-ice its Tahoe-area roads, said Don Anderson, assistant roads superintendent.

Anderson said the county dropped its salt ratio below 5 percent nearly a decade ago to limit the salt runoff into rivers and streams.

“It’s better for the environment, better for the whole situation,” added Anderson.

Placer County will also occasionally use salt brine — a combination of salt and water sprayed on roads before anticipated snowstorms — that it receives from the state, Anderson said.

For Washoe County, the public works department uses an ice melt with a significantly higher salt ratio.

The road crews spread a mix of 75 percent sand and 25 percent salt, said Rich Thomsen, roads supervisor.

Washoe County also uses salt brine before anticipated snowstorms, Thomsen noted.

According to the Nevada Department of Transportation, the sand/salt mixture it uses on Tahoe roads “creates unwanted sediment, but is an essential part of wintertime maintenance.”

Still, what’s spread on roads is done in the most environmentally safe way possible; according to NDOT, it has reduced winter road maintenance-related sand use from 4,300 cubic yards per year in 1990 to roughly 850 cubic yards these days, and reduced salt usage by 70 percent.

As for Caltrans, which manages the state highway system, its trucks primarily use salt brine, said Liza Whitmore, public information officer for Caltrans, District 3.

“Salt brine is 50 percent less salt than just applying general salt to the road,” Whitmore said. “It’s about reducing the amount of salt that goes into the environment. We have to worry about what’s going into the environment, the runoff, when it melts.”"

Probably wood

 

pops threw away his grease gun so looks like i'm making a HF run per ryan's advise. was good catching up with him, even argued bc he tried saying ill blow my rear diff if i weld it lol. Told him to watch whistlindiesels vid with the hilux, itll be fine. Then he went off like an old man bc he hates the guy

You already got a camper to park there and live in

 

good looks, thanks jake. Wish home depot's 15 dollar lucas gun didn't have 2.5 stars or id grab it and not have to do 2 stores

 

needs to be done tho, think im 1k away from putting 50k on the truck since I got it. trans fluid will be next

 

Just make sure you get gear oil for your trans and not actual trans fluid, I don't think a manual gear box would like ATF very much

 

gl4, 75-90 iirc?

 

I always forget the gl4 vs gl5 thing, I'd have to look it up again. I just get Redline MT90 like what's talked about on here a lot, it's pricey compared to other brands but it's good stuff.

 

im terrified to change it tho bc ive never done it before on a vehicle. However dumb that sounds.


Figure itll shift much better and smoother but the worries of slippage always plague me

 

on a manual trans its no different than changing your rear diff oil. Same process, hell I think the plugs are even the same size but don't quote me on that.

 

i fink gl5 has special additives that eat away at stuff in our trans so it's a no-no

yeah when i go to the toyota dealer to get new crush washers ill need ones for the rear diff too. Re-used it on the last change, luckily no leak besides the seal in the front now (unrelated).
