1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

hoping we get some soon as well. Up north looked super dark and cloudy this morning

 

"Missing cover? It's fine, it's not like it's in an area that'll get run over or anything"

The duct tape on the glad fitting though? *chefs kiss*

 

Nothing like writing an email and resisting the urge to throw someone under the bus the whole time. Such temptation.

 

I stopped throwing people under the bus. Even the lady that was trying to sell me insurance at work. And the lady that works at HEB during work from home days instead of her real job.

The drama it causes is exhausting.

 

Yeah it’s definitely better not to. The fallout is rarely positive. We have a pretty good just fix it and move on mentality here, which is nice.

 

Not a fan of these gear tech customs splash shields. I installed them in November 2020. The truck has been garaged since July and I mostly daily my 99. I’ll probably cut my own out with these as a template before they crumble away.

 

make 2 sets

 

Oof that's bad thanks for the headsup, I was planning on replacing my tattered stock ones with those custom thick ones

 

I wonder if anyone has tried making them out of canvas. Maybe too fire hazardy?

 

I was told to use a vinyl guard/uv protectant. I have experience with rubber exposed to the elements on my truck and it just doesn’t make sense that these crumbled away in a single year. With 137K on odometer at install and ~140,130 now. And the truck spending half of that time in a garage out of the elements.

My roof rack rubber feet are the same thickness and are wearing like this after 5 years.

 

I’m seeing new cars use that carpet felt looking stuff in the wheel wells.

 

I haven’t heard @Blue92 complain about whatever he made his out of

 

flex seal

 

Conver the canvas in flex seal?

 

cover the crappy rubber ones in flex seal

 

I used rubber mat I bought at Northern tool.

 

What thickness?

 

Idk, 1/8"ish maybe. Thicker then stock for sure. The matting said it was made of recycled tires on the label. 2 years and it still looks great.

 

Anyone have a part number for the clips that hold them on?

 

I hear that, even out here they're getting hard to come by. most of them seem to have been scrapped or blown up
