1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Yeah the squirrels had eaten most of it but there was a fair amount still in it, had to be the biggest avocado I've ever seen tbh. Someone nearby should be selling those puppies.

There are a lot of fruit trees in our neighborhood and one of the biggest oak trees is over our yard so we get all the squirrels leftovers

 

I would love to be up in Newton County -- creek crossings have been slabbed around there so no getting stuck.

I've started posting about Jambo down in Gilmer TX. Will pick up as we get closer to May. So far we have a number of members going. We have a decent number of members from the DFW area.

 

Oh yea I've hard of that. In fact the PO of my truck said he went down there in the Tacoma.

 

Our tuxedo cat controlled the squirrel population.

 

Had a bunch of people on a wheeling trip try and get me to attend that in 2020. Then Covid hit.

 

This is from last year. Loved it. A bunch of rowdy people but all very nice since this is only for Toyotas. The attitudes at these events usually come from Jeepers.

If our cats were allowed outside the squirrels would control them

 

I built a catio for our cat and he still wants to sneak out and play with the dogs. Then he runs and hides under the back deck and waits for birds to forage. He doesn't actually attack them, he just creeps on them.

 

oops, those bastards will bring out all kinds of food for the dogs lol

 

I had a blast last year. Good places to camp also.

 

Whatcha working on?

These temps suck for traction. Some days I just want to let the horses gallop damnit!

 

We have a number of members from TX that like to go wheeling in the Ozarks. So I like to find fun things to do in TX so we can reciprocate and go there for wheeling. I knew so many people at Jambo last year from the different communities, I would see somebody I knew just by waling through the Expo parking lot.

 

Changing diffs and removing the engine/fuel tank on the truck. Trying to find a clutch right now that I don't dislike the design of.

 

Was that 80 okay? Those things seem really tippy. Their height gives them a lot of cargo space, but it also seems to have drawbacks.

Here’s another incident I saw a couple years ago.

Well shit you have a lot of work to do. Pulling the engine for a Hiroshima Hairdryer finally?

 

i haven't exploded the exedy in the Tacoma after 50k of abuse

Even burned it to the point where it wouldn't grab til it cooled down a couple times with 3.91s and 35s on tricky trails and it's still going years later lol

 

Yeah, saving myself the extra effort trying to do it all in the engine bay. Gotta send off the drivelines for replacement everythings too, I fucked up the rear one bad.

 

U what

 

damn they got super lucky, when it rolled the roof landed on another boulder and caved it in right down the middle, but left enough headroom on either side for the driver and passenger. If they had been further over in either direction one of them could've been hurt real bad or worse




actually, might just be that the structural integrity of the sides is what saved them from getting crushed.

 

You mean the Matt's recovery one? Yea, it looked pretty gnarly and seemed to come out of nowhere.

Apparently the best way to prevent rollovers is to turn in the direction of the roll and give it gas, even if that feels like the last thing you wanna do in the heat of the moment.

Here's a really close call I saw recently involving a built 80 series, starting around the 24-minute mark. The guy almost tumbled off a cliff into the ocean!
