1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I'm such a steppenwolf fan, thanks for the reminder

 

I have no room to move them

 

Tempting.

 

start installing them one by one then, don't overwhelm urself lol





bout to pull the trigger on $60 of trans fluid



@ LT, this is the shifter bushing stuff right?

I'm a fool, I have so much steering and suspension stuff I want to install but I want to do it ALL at once so I only have to pay for one alignment


Also, yes that is the correct bushing. It's really not a pain to install. Watch their little gif, just rotate into place and it'll pop right in. The guys how say they had to grind it shouldn't be trusted lol

 

Engrish plz













Messing with you

You need to find some downtime to install all that shit, and it ain't easy to do especially working on Kohler engines and making one off parts!

Making anything today?

 

I was working on the RAM last night, and looked in the back seat.

 

not surprised, couple cans of skoal prolly back there too

 

*plot twist, the Ram belongs to Tyler and it's a 318 V8*

 

i feeeeeeel ya on that. Why im waiting to install my lift in the front. Want to buy new upper and lbjs, do an alignment only once and call it gtg for couple years!!



Thanks brotha, gonna order it today with the fluids. need to grab black rtv when it all comes thru as well, should be fairly easy ill keep u all updated!

 

@Das it mang

On a serious note; my hand has been hurting every morning and a few times throughout the day.

Trying to distinguish the difference from early signs of carpal tunnel syndrome or something else.

I won't be able to see a doctor until my insurance kicks in; got on my wife's since I had to drop mine seeing as how it was through my old employer.

VA would take much longer to see, so I'm waiting until end of this month which is when it starts.

The constant gripping of tools, piping, etc. leaves the last two knuckles in a tiny bit of pain. It's when I wake up in the mornings that it's hard to make a fist until a little while later once the blood is flowing from standing up/walking around.

 

A year off of winter commuting did us no favors

 

6 months into trades, already destroys body*


ignoring your career history though*


Also, if it’s hurting your pinky its not carpal tunnel

 

Yep

10 years on a keyboard and 5 years on firearms (not to include the on and off years on firearms after the military/leo).

My right hand has also suffered a fractured wrist and broken hand before.

 

Does your pinky hurt or?

 

It's only the last two knuckles, right hand, so yes above my ring and above my pinky.

Fingers themselves don't hurt.

Only my knuckles when I make a fist in the mornings. Right now it's ok but I can hear a sort of "popping knuckles" kind of sound when I open my hand and go to making a tight fist.

 

Well, if what I learned in Thafety class is correct


Carpal Tunnel affects the median nerve, the median nerve doesn’t go to the pinky, so take that how you will

 

Dr Jaxon

I'll report back, after I see a doctor of course.

Just sucks that I have to wait but that's only cause enrollment was in November.

And the VA? Shit...I got my appointment last month with them....for Jan 4th. They're so backed up.

 

busy day at work mb im trying to stay up to date on here. that sounds like arthritis tho, pains at the start of the day which improve with use and activity are always indicative. What u can do is obtain otc diclofenac/ voltaren gel. Apply it topically as needed on the knuckles till ur seen. carpal tunnel causes numbness tingling, not stiffness

 

You're so right, I need to make time but I keep making excuses "it's too cold" "all my tools are disorganized and strewn all over the place" blah blah blah


Today is handsaw duty. Has been for most of the week lol. Contractors call in and have to spend the end of the year budget and don't care that we're at an 8wk lead time. They love the fact we'll just invoice them out before Dec 31st so it looks good for their books, just deliver the equipment whenever
