1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Oh and I'm sure @Abeyancer would agree that home-made concoctions make the best cutting fluids -



Last time I saw something like this was in my old wood shop class

I'll have to get @Das it mang the recipe

 

I've always just laid them down on their side in the bed and now I'm wondering if I did something unimaginably wrong

 

Lol yeah I lay them flat as well. You're not gonna mess em up, they're meant to hold up the weight of your truck as it bounces down the road

In this case I would have done that and thrown a strap over the top lol

 

@Kwikvette this one's for you

 

True, I mean look how UPS transports them... They practically tossed them on my porch

 

@0xDEADBEEF just had a spasm and doesn't know why

 

So in this case (I've noticed it on my flatbed as well) the location of the anchor points for the ratchet straps can affect the height of things you can strap down. Those leaf springs laid flat might have had some movement with the ratchet straps fully cranked down just because of where the ratchet hooks are on the side rails.

I might also be crazy. I'll let @0xDEADBEEF explain his own reasoning.

 

I’m a curious person.


Stayed on, and I could see them the whole time.

 

Reason why they ended up that way is they’re too short to tie down effectively on their sides, and this way the springs spring against the straps, so they don’t wiggle free

 

Nothins better than when momma makes it

 

Loveee this haha. What did he think of it?

 

Huh

I just yeet’d them in the back of my truck when I picked up free 2nd Gen leaf springs from Santa Cruz.

 

This a date night I can get behind.

 

Is that bleacher seating as your flat bed?


If not .. I wonder if that's a viable option

 

Good eye! It is.

there’s a bleacher company across town that has a warehouse full of used bleachers

 

So you have a seat when you’re broke down

 

Can we get any fatter
