1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I remember driving this trail last year at Jambo. I just don't remember any drama.

Can't say I've seen that before

Weird. It sounded like he hit gas instead of brake after that little rub...that's a big whoops

 

I bet that's it. I love my 25% reduction gears for that sort of terrain. Just crawl through it.

 

I've wheeled with several automatic owners who refused to put the transmission in 1-2 instead of drive on the trail. I could easily see that being a contributor here lol

 

There was no reason why that should've happened.

 

He really had to work at that flop. I know the camera always mellows out the terrain some, but that doesn’t look all that bad.

 

Right

Camera's absolutely take away how steep a ledge is or how big a rock can be

But he got way too much momentum, and I was already questioning his line choice at the beginning when he was starting up high on driver (non-issue for experienced drivers)

I definitely believe he was in Drive like @Wulf mentioned

Nothing like the smell of burnt oil from the leaky valve covers and rear main seal in the morning

I think it's gonna take me a year+ to get used to the handbrake in this T4R vs the pimp cane ebrake handle on the Taco.

 

Crusty 5VZs with the mileage of all Dodges combined can have a little pressure wash now and again to get the oil scum off

 

Did it for da Gram.

 

Just two door jeep things

 

He forget the ubiquitous tire cover

 

Sucks the guy did the rear main as you can see it was clean underneath with the exception of fresh oil seeping. Just needs to get redone but I'll help dedicate a full day for mod day to redo it with him.

The valve covers were something we talked about possibly being an issue before we even got to see the vehicle so we assumed those were bad going in. Sure enough we were right but it's only the rear corner above the exhaust manifold and not all the way around.

Aside from that I can't think of anything else.

I did ask him if he had the original starter (since he replaced it) but unfortunately he turned it in as a core

 

I see why people upgrade these earlier horns now too....this little meep meep is pathetic lol

 

Land Cruiser horns be like

The look on your face when I said my door handles are stock and original

 

Who you honking at so early anyway

 

I put the stock Land cruiser horns on mine. You want my other meep meep horn, then you can meep in stereo (early trucks had one horn only)
