1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I took the truck through a goopy mud hole on the way in to work today. I needed 1st/Lo and some right foot to get out. It kept spinning the front right and back left tires. I might have to get a rear LSD at some point. Eatons are too spendy.

 

Don't forget to get a winch!

 

Yea I’ve been looking for some that’ll work with the stock front bumper.

 

There's zero room behind the 95-97 bumper, you'll have to have something jutting out of it

 

The trail gear winch mount with the factory bumper cut out around it is all I got

 

Goooood damnnnn turning that thing anywhere would make me so anxious lol

 

You just added so much worry in that single statement.

 

Got it all wrong.

Momentum, not 4Lo.

4Hi and some skinny pedal.

 

I’m hoping a Truetrac LSD in the rear should be all I need.

 

4Hi and skinny pedal is free though

 

Weld it weld it weld it weld it

 

It was on a kind of tight turn so I couldn’t send it that hard.

 

I've never drive a rig with a welded diff

 

split power all the time

meanwhile, guys with ARB air lockers

 

Greatest thing in the world














If you love that *skrrt skrrt skrrt* noise anytime you turn

 

Went to Lowes Friday was going to get a kobalt tool chest. They Showed it in stock on line at Carson City. Of course when I got there it was MIA. I'm looking at alternatives now. Ace has this craftsman for a good deal and it has good reviews. Any reason I shouldn't get it.

 

The bearings on craftsman boxes are absolute junk nowadays. I've had amazing luck beating the shit outta my US General toolbox everyday. Half its drawers have been overloaded since I got 2yrs ago and, other than dirt, it's as smooth as the day I got it

 

The newer Craftsman chests I've seen at Lowes have felt flimsy. Craftsman has been having a hard time finding itself in a post-Sears market--they haven't yet figured if they're a premium brand, a workman brand, or a high-volume/homeowner brand.

I'd want to see it in person before dropping money. If it feels up to your standards, I see nothing wrong.

 

I think the key to driving something like that is to live in rural Idaho.
