1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

We wouldn't know how to react to all the rust

 

yeah I've never been bitten by a snake and hope to keep it that way. Dunno how I avoided it as a kid, we used to get lost in the hills for miles outside of our neighborhood where snakes were aplenty

 

I’m pretty ok with snakes unless they rattle, then they get relocated in pieces

 

you enter the east coast and your truck ages 10 years in a day. Easy!

 

Raise your hand if you've ever pulled your parking brake rod out of the dash. I did this morning. I laughed until I went to put it back in 20 minutes ago. That double pawl system in the housing is defeating me. I could pull it all apart to make it easier to work on but figured one of you guys might know a trick to re-seat it.

 

If mine worked maybe that would have happened by now. Lol

 

Pimp cane e-brake problems, luckily haven't run into that yet. My e-brake is looser than a $2 hooker though

 

I’ll tell you what. The coolest thing about an atlas is ebrake disc you can put on it!

 

You guys used your ebrake?

 

Did you put a body lift on to help clear it? I looked at them long and hard but went TG because it was WAY less work. lol

Not anymore. lol

 

One icy winter night I heard a sound like a Honda trying to climb a hill in ice and I think I may have laughed about it. The next morning I went outside and realized that Honda was my first gen sliding down driveway and almost off the neighbors 6’ drop across street! She stays in 4wd in winter now.

 

Looks like it solved itself

 

Yeah. I got a body lift.

 

I can do without it for the week. My patience runs thin after a day of work so after fucking with it for 5 minutes I threw it in the back. I'm pretty sure a 5/16th dowel cut to about 1" will work. Use that to flatten the pawls then slam the parking brake rod in fast. It should pudhe the dowel out of the way and let the rod clear the pawls at the same time.

 

Fuuuuck that sucks.

 

not as bad as putting diesel in your brand new scoobie!

 

I was just messing around. No. I don’t have a body puck. I just cut shit out as needed. Like a surgeon w a body saw. Cut first, ask questions later basically.

 

Welders fix everything. We think alike. lol

 

He

lol. Yeah, if you have a goal in mind you can’t be afraid to start hackin!

I’ll let @Kwikvette determine when I’m an actual “welder” though. Hopefully soon.

 

I'm glad you answered that, I was wondering how that many could live together without seeing a bunch of partially eaten ones lol
