1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Enterprise rents pickup trucks

 

Is it bc they buy commercial/fleet? My closest local Ford dealer has tons of trucks on lot. (Obviously I'm not close, but seems like they should be available)

 

That owner hates their gas mileage and the wind noise.

 

Yeah the cab rack was a weird choice on that. The front end is what caught my eye.
They need to at least coil wrap those bars up there. I'll never run classic Yakima/Thule bars again unless I bungee/cord wrap them, they're loud as shit.

 

Pretty sure that truck is just a mall crawler.

I remember seeing it posted about a year ago in the 1st Gen section; then I found out we followed each other cause IG popped up with multiple posts on the same truck

 

F250 fleet is what they buy the most of, for the guys out in field.

 

Oh lol. I've never seen it before but ran across the image on a search.
I don't hit the mall but because my off pavement stuff is mostly beach, I've thought about axing the heavy bumper and going somewhat lighter. But also, I shamelessly really like it. Everything else I've done is practical, and the ARB is to a degree too. *He tells himself*

 

Ah gotcha. Crazy they can't get stuff. Guess they have to cross their fingers shit holds up for a while.

 

P.S. @Kwikvette Some inspiration, you know, in case you wanna get wild with your Cruiser:

 

And a nice, cleanly built 100/105 for @CS_AR

 

Needs more lights. La gazelle du désert

 

I need to replace the A/C Compressor on the 100. Low side too low. High side too low. I can just get it to barely take some refrigerant. It still works -- but not as good as it should. The old pump is almost gone. The UAC that I got for the Tacoma from Rock Auto is still working like a champ.

 

I had a 280zx with both Nissan and Datsun badging. Nissan came to be after the merger of Datsun and Prince Motor Company.

 

@01x4 I'll take one like this and a personal assistant.

Wow, that's intense. Government official/CEO transport Cruiser no doubt

 

Correct. Datsun has been around since 1931. Toyota came along a few years later. The PMC merger in 1966 brought about the Fairlady (Z) Car and started the move to Nissan branding. Prince built expensive performance care like the Skyline, Gloria and President (luxury sedan) for a high-end market.

I guess today, cars from the Prince side of the family are Infiniti.

After WWII aircraft engineers from Tachikawa Aircraft Company went with Prince or Toyota. Though never part of the same company the engineering from Tachikawa lives on in Toyota and Infiniti.

Fuck that looks sharp!

 

The Nissan trucks that survived are from the Prince side of the family. I can trace the lineage of today's VK56 performance trucks back to trucks built by Prince.
