1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I was just doing a little homework while waiting for a delivery and while I was reading your build thread Mr FedEx arrived 4 days early

Box is a bit smashed but everything seems to be okay.

Based off a few quick rough measurements the clutch switch is going to hit the grill and the bumper so I'll have to do it differently but that's not a surprise since it's a different bumper and different winch all together

 

26oz bread flour
1/2oz yeast
16oz water, I prefer to temp it between 80-90
3/4oz salt

Sift dry
Add water/yeast mixture
Knead to window pane
Proof until doubled
Degas, and scale out 14oz pieces
Roll out to 18", bench as needed to prevent tearing
Egg wash, score, then egg wash and bake at 450 for 20-25mins. Could add steam for the first 5-10mins or so

 

Yeah that's one bonus of the 95-97 front end, very compact. I know most people's winch handles are in their grill and thankfully mine never have been. But I have always had to modify bumpers. Like every taco bumper that isn't open top has zero provision for winch handles. I think the smittybuilts are clockable at least though so you might be able to clock it 90° and have it come out the front.

 

That makes me want to rework this bumper lol. By that I mean chuck it in the trash. I'd probably buy a TG if my frame wasn't bent

 

I have a hatred of the TG tube bumper, I just can't get over how it makes the fronts of these trucks look. Like I want to like it, but it looks like a blatant hold over from the pickups and the proportions are all wrong. Doesn't really cover anything either, you just get to see a whole mess of core support and radiator.

 

Your Taco bumper?

 

I have a party sending it when I go down to Barnwell Mountain Recreational Area in Gilmer, TX.

 

Put it on eBay, just put 'local pickup,' for shipping option. At least its another avenue, can't hurt.

 

Careful what you wish for haha

 

yeah lol

It was the product of a 30 pack of PBR and no sleep, it's a little crooked and some of the welds are not great lmao

It has taken some good hits and survived a few winch outs though

I keep going back and forth cuz i was gonna sas, then I wasn't, then I was, then I wasn't, then I was

 

This is what goes on at Toyota Jamboree.

And here I've always liked it, think it looks badass

 

aww ty

It has a chaotic but sort of unique style that implies that at one point there was a plan. I wish it didn't stick out so much

 

SUVs love going 3 wheelin'

Scroll to August in your TW calender

 

Any of y’all have this M18 Fuel wet dry vac? If so, what do you think? I like the form factor, specifically that it can stack with other overpriced packout stuff.

After over a year of ignoring it I finally put water hammer arrestors on the washing machine and it no longer sounds like the house is blowing up

 

Those are a good invention, I did that for my parents dish washer. Need to do it on their sink tho too, my mom shuts it off and it sounds like the entire pipe is going to leave the crawlspace

 

Almost got it, almost.

But I had read about one model (non-Fuel) being better than the Fuel variant for one reason or another.

Saved $70-80 and went with this bad boy instead. Came with bags (can use it without a bag) as an HD promo and it's way more powerful than others costing a bit more.

Hugely recommend if corded is an option -



Only gripe is cord/hose storage but that's almost every shop vac anyway.

This one is smaller than other Rigid models but more powerful.

I'm a Milwaukee fanboy, and even I opted against the Milwaukee shop vac.

 

It's pretty neat. All of the complaints are just about lifespan. Even if they only last a couple years the peace is worth what, the $30 a set costs?
