1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

It has to be approved by the NHTSA and then have FMVSS rules specced in the US. It'll be a Europe only thing for a while I'd bet.

 

I guess these people won't be wearing sunglasses while driving

 

With the weather like it is now (beautiful) I would expect campgrounds to be crowded. There are some good dispersed areas up from Haw Creek Falls. I'm seeing groups from Texas talk about hitting the Ozarks for this weekend. I would expect Newton County and the Buffalo areas to be at max load.

Getting out early on Friday before the out of state crowd hits will give you a better chance of finding a place.

A dispersed camping area up 123 from Haw Creek Falls on Bowman Hollow Road might be an option.

 

So where would the car go then if drivers are staring down at their phones

 

should build in a feature that automatically causes the car to pull over and shut off for 5 minutes with some kind of condescending message displayed on the dash screen

 

My steering and ride got better after I installed more rear spring so I had at least 1" of rake.

 

The shoplifters are out early this weekend. It always amazes me who thinks they are getting away with something. A good storekeeper knows their inventory and store displays like the back of their hand. Amazing how some items disappear without a sale when certain people come in and start asking questions act like they are in the market for something or trying to help out. The shop keeper knows who they are and that they usually steal something around holidays. They mistakenly think because things are busy that the item won't be missed. The shopkeeper knows what is going on without giving a clue.

 

Where is this happening?

 

Was this after you addressed maintenance though?

We're covering maintenance first because it seems his vehicle is still behind on several things.

 

Yep. After I had replaced everything.

 

Idk, I don’t see any bushings that look totally shot or anything.

 

Yea see we're just trying to help him diagnose small things before getting into bigger things.

 

Did the shop that aligned your truck make any comments or state that it was difficult to align or maintain alignment?

 

@Wulf

Before I forget, do let me know how those stiffeners work out! Someone just asked me for a set and I mentioned that they're in the 'testing' phase

 

It almost makes me wanna stay home. It can be depressing to drive past a parade of people out there. We might try to look for a spot along Boyd’s road or Indian Creek.

 

No they said everything looked good except the outer tie rods, which they replaced.

 

@CS_AR i was thinking the Richland campground might be remote enough to not fill up but idk the weathers gonna be perfect.

 

The out of state crowd likes to congregate in the areas with the most Youtube exposure. Strangely, those are the least attractive areas that I like to avoid.

 

oh shit, yeah, I was mocking them up and I think I left them in the bed without doing any actual install. This week has gone sideways and I totally forgot lol

 

Won't know without trying. I just roll with whatever and usually end up finding something new and really better than my original plan.
