1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

glad you got a refund, I think their customer service policy is probably to just give people the run around until they hopefully give up and eat the cost

 

I do miss the old Perkins, definitely had some stout engines. Dunno why land rover never took a page out of their book.. hell the factories were only 50 miles apart

This particular engine is a Hatz though. For diesels we use Hatz or Lombardini (now owned by Kohler) occasionally a mini yanmar gets thrown in there if we can't source a small Kohler quickly enough

yeah that sounds like a nightmare. It really sucks they made it sch a pain

 

It's totalled


Looks good from my house

 

Do not pass go, do not collect 200 doll hairs

 

People are sending me Kei van/truck videos like they're something new. It used to be popular to import them in the early 2000s as company cars to park out front of businesses. Saw them allover the place as a kid.

 

3/8 socket style. I know I can get a torx L-wrench set form McMastercarr but today I'm going to try to buy a single T30 socket/bit and see if I can make a custom tool to make it work.

Also for your viewing pleasure, ever heard a 7.3 sneeze at idle?

At least misery loves company.

 

I think it needs an Italian tuneup

 

just wedge the floor mat against the gas pedal and fire 'er up

 

the Prius tune up

 

Macarons, Spritz, and Chessboard cookies







Macarons in the fridge where the belong (if not in my stomach)





Mouth feel (texture), flavor, everything was absolutely on point surprisingly enough.

I didn't like the aesthetic of my Spritz cookies though but I blame the tip for that.

 

those cookies you gave me last week were bomb, especially the chocolate chip ones

 

Thank you!

Dude, it's the sea salt that really makes a difference! Stephanie loves everything I make except the chocolate chip cookies because of that

 

@0xDEADBEEF Summer parking at Kyles Landing on the Buffalo. I like going there now when the place is empty.

 

What the heck? Something is amiss...

 

During my casual searching I've periodically branched out to see what other things are selling for lately, I swear it seems the end of the last gen Frontiers with the newly adopted motor/trans are probably one of the better deals out there right now for a small truck 4x4.

I don't know if they ride like shit or have any weird quirks or if the new Jatco 9 speed is good or bad etc, but dollar for dollar what you can get is interesting. Makes a double cab pro4x a tempting thing. Especially if you don't mind the boring interior.

 

Oooh macarons. Yessir.
