1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I thought it was so they could say they were welders

 

You know what you say to a guy with a single digit IQ right?

 

Nice Weld!

 

Ooooof

 

Yeah the lack of threads was my concern to. I feel like just getting some quality 1 inch wheel spacers just to be safe.

 

Lol sorry. To be fair, fabricators are different. They're like carpenters they know shop math (geometry) and can get quality fitup and function.

A pure welder... Torch holder, gun monkey, metal gluer... Is much different. Those guys can join the metal but give em a schematic or dimension and idea and they ain't gonna produce.

 

Oh don't apologize; there's one dude that's former Army and though he's big, he's dumb as a rock (about most things).

I nicknamed him Lenny

 

We had a guy like that, had to give him precut stuff with big clear markings and fixtures. Could weld like no other, but he didn't even have two brains cells that could consult one another.

 

Yeah that's what trips me out; he kind of sucks at MIG...at least when it comes to setting up his machine. But he does pretty damn good at scratch TIG; doesn't even like high-frequency.

 

These guys are building a million dollar facility, shits gotta be right.

 

Bet for their structural stuff, beams and all, they're either doing spray arc or flux.

 

Stick welding pipe together rn, they won’t do the actually building

 

Yeah I can't actually pipe weld

 

16” pipe

I’ll try find some schematics at work Monday

 

I like the braiding.

What’s a icon lift kit for a 5th gen 4runner worth these days. Shocks need new springs and heims, rears need new studs. Nothings leaking. But probably time for a full rebuild honestly ~70k miles. Rear springs slightly crusty

 

What’s wrong with those springs?

-$700 ish for the rebuild last I knew
