1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I've never met a great Dane that was mean, they're all big derpy babies.

 

It's a good thing I used to be a machinist and got desensitized to wafer thin tolerances, otherwise the closeness of this hub to rotating screen would've made my butt pucker

(It still puckered anyway)

 

Is it gonna be ok running if there's a lot of vibration in the environment lol

 

no those are cows

 

I build concrete cutting equipment, theres nothing BUT alot of vibration in its natural environment lmao.

Thankfully the screen is attached to the flywheel coincidentally with the stubshaft that hub is mounted to.... so in theory they should flex the same when put under load.

If it doesn't, at least it's covered by a plastic air shroud which should absorb most of the impact if it flys apart when I test it on monday

 

2 weeks sitting in the cold killed the power stroke. Or in other words I need to buy new batteries. Blah. The mighty Tacoma saved the day after 30+ min of jumping.

 

Mmmyeah might be worth considering just getting on the "change it every 3 years" train haha. Low batteries can cause some funky shit on powerstokes

 

Happy weekend

Parked it for a few hours and it fires up great. I'll throw the ctek on it tonight and see if that can at least get me a bit further along. Pulling the batteries will be a big chore and it's fucking cold.

 

Yeah I wouldn't be thrilled about the task in cold weather

Do you have a jumper pack?

 

I have so much stress when I lift stuff now with bad discs, I never know if I'm going to be down and out afterwards.
When I herniated it last and it was leaking fluid it was awful.

 

I didn't know Toyota did a dark green 4th gen 4Runner until today. It looked so good. Sorta like the spruce mica Tacoma.

 

Happy weekend... Until Sunday

The army green right? Same green that's on the 3rd gen Tacomas starting in 2021 I think...I'm glad they brought a dark green back but that one's a little glossy for my taste, it is one of the better colors offered though

 

It was like the Spruce Mica below on the 2nd gen, little darker maybe, that's why it caught my eye. I tried looking it up, seems like they may have only done it in '03.

I hope they do another dark green, metallic or not, sometime, looks so good.

 

ahh derp...I just noticed you said 4th gen 4runner, nvm. yeah that Spruce Mica was the best

 

It was so good. I like how it changes color in the light too.
Just made me think of that crazy looking 1st gen build, the guy had resprayed it Spruce.

Power steering is leaking; only about 1/50th of what it was before.

 

A wildly popular color in 1970.
