1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Not even the fancy one. Another brand makes one you get to choose what color powder coat you get on it lol. But they want way more $$$ for the same thing basically. And i like the red

 

they got nothin on my secret weapon

 

Yeah I think the red would be good, paying more for color is a pretty extra move. But it'll be nice to have a really solid rack setup

 

The double decker one is an Alexander-Dennis Enviro 400, same ones we have at work except the roofs are chopped off. They're hot garbage, all the computer modules fail.

 

It's surface rusted like most old Chevys. But there's no rot and up by the engine it still has paint. Let's put it this way this truck is so clean that the rockers and the cab corners are factory and not even squishy, all the paint is on them. The only bad rust on this truck is the front of the fenders by the front bumper and the bottom of the passenger door is getting squishy but it hasn't rusted through

 

@Sperrunner I was looking at options for the Mini (not many) one is the SeaSucker Hornet...its hilarious

 

Idk how i feel about them but i hear great things about them. (Suction cup bike racks in general) guys say they used them for years no issues as long as you follow the install instructions

 

Right? That's the funny thing, I haven't heard a single disappointed customer story. Lots of Porsche and exotic cars run them. I went for the sunroof delete on mine, so I can do their roof version. Seems like a good option tbh.

 

I love mini's! so cool!

 

Same. Not sure when I'll get mine (war, plant strikes, etc) but I'm pumped.

 

Yeah i dont see why not. Other options is a roof rack i guess. Atleast the mini is small enough that its not very high to lift the bike up vs a truck or van

 

@Sperrunner I see this pop up a lot

Yeah from what i hear as long as the surface is clean and you wet it before install they hold just as good as a bolt on rack

 

I didn't add the rails on my build because they're pretty ugly and built in on my generation. So you have to hack your own solution together. That rack is the previous gen and they were removable. Wish they kept that.

 

Yeah it seems like the go.

 

When I got my crosstrek I just went to dealer and told them what I wanted. Gave them a $250 deposit and they ordered it. That was like 4 months ago. I got a manual no sunroof one too so it wasn't like I ordered a normal one.

 

Oh yeah, it took like 40 days to get.

 

Childhood trauma?

 

How long was your wait? Some of our wiring is made in Ukraine....so, of course issues there. Obviously a very small, first world problem comparatively. It'll be a long wait.
