1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Yep, definitely familiar with IL.

Lived and worked in Chitown for a good minute.

 

I dunno man, when I lived in PA there were safety inspections and it was necessary to keep the rust buckets from falling apart on the road causing accidents

I liked how it was in MD when a safety inspection was only necessary when you wanted to sell your car

 

Not to totally derail, but it always cracks me up when people on a vehicle modification forum/hobby defend state mandated safety inspections. "Yea that rust bucket is the safety hazard, not my vehicle which I overloaded with camping gear, bright ass lights, and a suspension system cobbled together based off advice from strangers on the internet isn't." Not saying you are doing that, I have seen that argument made on TW before and it cracks me up.

 

The engineer said 80W90 for a reason!!!! Running 75W90 is NOT spec!!! It's gonna blow up your truck!!!

That reminds me. 2 gallon jugs of gear oil are $40 at the farm store. It's warren oil so just as good as whatever the parts house sells. Got 3 Toyota diffs to fill and I want to do the transmission and cases on the crawler too

 

Hah! I didn't know there were any rails here at the LT

No you're absolutely right, I've seen that same remark and it makes me chuckle as well and I agree with you completely. And in my mind, weight limits are as much an issue as rust buckets ... so are obnoxious lifts to be fair. Don't know if they still do this (maybe @Yota X can confirm) by NJ used to put your rig on a platform that tilted a certain amount of degrees and if it toppled over you failed inspection AND now you've got a raisin of a body

That's why I appreciate MD where they basically say do whatever you want to your rig but if you want to sell it, it has to pass safety inspection then


Hey at least we're not Germany. Their multi point inspection for keeping used rigs on the road is flipping insane

 

Wait.... so I shouldn't be running tractor 303 fluid in my diffs?!?!?

 

Little thin for the diff but it's a lifetime fluid

Shortened lifetime may apply

 

Nope, I read lifetime. That's all that matters

 

Works pretty good as a steering fluid... I run bulk ISO32 in the crawler. ATF additives are a nono for the hydraulic assist ram according to PSC/TG

I was told the older yotas came with hydraulic fluid in the system and Toyota specd ATF since it's the closest 10W hydraulic fluid that's readily available everywhere

 

@Kwikvette PayPal still says funds pending I need some handheld rpgs back in my life, mobile game options on my phone are limited lol

 

@Abeyancer @Kwikvette

 

Interesting, that makes sense for your hydro assist all we run in our units here at work is ISO32 or 46 for a particularly hot region. But I didn't know that about old yotas! I totally get it, hydro fluid is impressive stuff

 

Yassssssss

 

Is that officially licensed merch? I'd so way be down for a bigsawcat with saw sticker. Zoomies cans are worth it by themselves lol

 

You'll be happy to know I brought the GBA with me today so I can ship it out

 

How fun

 

Nailed it

 

you're too damn efficient sir! Txt me your PayPal info and I'll send you the funds as soon as they clear

 

That's not a bus tire

 

BUSted
