1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I won't stop my wife from a 460 if that's what she wants or ends up getting.

 

Well my fiancee tried talking me into making a tik tok when she saw I was gonna upload a 9 sec video. So an hour later I now have a YouTube short because fuck tiktok.
But I didn't really bother figuring out how to put sound over only part of the video, so... Oh well!
Watch till the end for accel lol.

@Speedytech7
@Empty_Lord

I still need to make a custom airbox lol

 

That's a sexy swap.

 

@Ozark_RegCab

You buying your skid anytime soon?

 

Thanks, kinks almost finally all the way worked out!

 

Speaking of swaps, @Tour991 that V6 would come in handy for sure

A blown 22R pick up near me, but it looks a bit high price-wise

Figure keeping that 6 would open up my options in case I need to swap

 

Haven’t gotten around to it yet. I wanna figure out this gas smell first.

 

I'll bring it down the last weekend in July. That would be a awesome swap for a 85 solid axle.

I've been pretty busy the last two weeks and haven't had a chance to tear down the truck more.

 

Ok, well I just wanted to know since you're a hardcore wheeler and all

I have several inquiries for a skid plate for 1st Gens and I figure I could add you to the list

Won't be any time soon but I have 3 members all in after they saw my LC skid

In order to make one though I need to make myself a larger frame for my cnc table, and buy the necessary parts

 

@Speedytech7 any suggestions?

 

I already suggested things, so far as I can tell he's investigated it purely by guessing.

 

I was gonna start with the gas cap but NAPA is always closed when I get off work. I haven’t looked too hard for a leak. I guess I’m kinda scared of what I’ll find.

 

Must've missed it

Carry on

 

Why not just easily order a new one? It'll arrive and you can swap it at home.

Maybe the GF can go for you?

You don't work everyday do you? If so, that sucks just order it

What else did he suggest? Not looking for your issue (knowing there is one) is as bad as finding an issue and neglecting it. The issue simply remains.

 

you just have to embrace the mechanical suspicions and what ifs and fix whatever comes up if it becomes a real problem. Life is much easier this way. You'll never have a completely problem-free 27 year old vehicle unless you want to completely restore the thing top to bottom

 

this is how I learned to live with my never ending fucked up alignment....well and getting another vehicle to focus on helped

 

Every week day just about. It’s a pretty chill job though for the most part.

 

I don't know why I opted to come in on Monday, probably going to be the only one here. Got a lot of stuff coming up later that I need my PTO for though so I'll just have a solo party here in the studio. Bounce out early

 

You could have had a new gas cap a while ago though, just order it.
