1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I have a memory of being 5 or 6 and driving with my grandparents out to Palm Springs, we were going up one of the mountains out there and I was reading one of my Clifford books or something. Ended up blowing chunks all over the back of my grandma's head lol

 

Is it a learned skill?

We used to drive to Seattle a couple times a year when I was a kid and make 5~ hour drives across the state once a month or so. Reading was my only escape from the constant fighting so I got really good at it

 

That blows

 

Dude my mom is the same way, could read a whole novel on a trip, I read a few sentences and I have to roll the window down, its nuts.

 

Hmm...I bet it's probably just more to do with some people being more sensitive to it than others. Its weird, I've been violently carsick and seasick before, but I've flown 100 times or more and never once have I felt nauseous on a plane.

 

I used to crush books, I'd stay up all night reading quite often. Where did that energy go?

 

Trying to justify seats that cost a third of what I paid for the truck....bourbon might help/is helping

 

I crush em, but not in a car haha, can't hang. I try to squeeze a novel every week or two.

 

You're getting aftermarket seats?

What kind?

 

Scheel Mann vario. Found a company that makes 1st gen Taco mounts for them.
I replied to your 80 thread about it. If I get em I'll let ya know how they are, but every review has been nothing but positive. Was between them and Recaro with adjustable seat length as well, but the SM seem like the go.

 

Me too, before smartphones and Netflix/streaming I would usually read before bed. When I was 19/20 I read almost all of Anne Rice's novels especially the Vampire Chronicles, I was obsessed with those books lol. God the movies were awful though. Well...Interview with a Vampire wasn't terrible but it sucked compared to the book

 

Change your life and sleep if you read before bed versus looking at a screen...

 

I'm good about not using my phone in bed, I usually keep it charging outside our room actually. But my wife and I will usually watch a show together on our laptop before we get ready for bed. But yeah I agree that falling asleep while on a screen is real bad for your sleeping pattern/cycle

 

I have no issues reading in the car.



Never had an issue with any sort of motion sickness really.

 

Yeah I used to not think twice about it until I stopped. Its addicting for sure but a good habit to break. I have problems with going down YouTube rabbit holes sometimes.

 

Does anyone run the 4xInnovations rear? I'm close to pulling the trigger. It has the jerry's and tire on one full-length swingout but I guess that's normal on a truck that isn't super wide to begin with.

 

im considering one for my 95.

 

Its my favorite option

 

i'd be going basic bumper. but i like that it has a DOT certified hitch built in... because i am not getting fined again for towing without a DOT cert hitch... these small towns will nab you for anything.

 

I wonder if a 7 n 7 would be good with ginger ale instead
