1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

and ofc the difference between 88 and 86 on the chart is not much and I'm actually checking the data points lol

 

I missed the tire diameter part, I just change it as a scalar, I really need to change my equations so I can set different tires sizes in the different motor/trans selectors in my sheet, this would show the results of Diff gears vs Tire size on the same trans very conclusively.
Right now its a single tire size for both configs at the same time.
and 31 because idk why enter 30.6, but I can, I just didn't lol

 

Now there is drama over this, calling out how accurate the tempter is.

Yeah, I remember reading about that a few years ago too...I mean it makes sense to question the accuracy of a statistic recorded over a century ago but given how it hits 130 in DV almost every summer, 134 doesn't seem so crazy even if it was over a hundred years ago.

fact remains, people are crazy to go there this time of year. 2 people so far have died this month in DV, one just recently - 71 year old that decided to go hiking in that heat and earlier in July, a 60 something year old drove through DV in a car without AC and died.

 

DV is just a very pore choice this time of year. I much rather be there for a good winter flood.

 

Mmmm, ordered $150 in shock valving parts

2/3 times I've been it has rained... It barely ever rains there. I have excellent timing lol

 

That include oil?

 

I already have 2 gallons of oil. But no normally that would be another $60 per gallon

 

I've only seen maybe 1 or 2 brands before (haven't actually looked) and thought I'd pick some shocks up that come up locally to rebuild and sell.

I know James rebuilds his own and would offer plenty of help, and as far as charging them, gases are cheap here.

 

thank you sir

 

I've rebuilt some, it isn't that bad. Get your seals/wear bands and oil from Shockseals.com and any specialty stuff (shafts, shims, clips, adjusters) for the shocks from the manufacturer. Nitro charge rigs aren't really that spendy if you have the tank, just the cost of the valve body after. Most everything else can be done with normal at home tools. It's not particularly fun or clean, but certainly easy enough once you get the hang of setting IFP depth and bleeding bubbles.

 

Just like the TW calendar every year lol

 

^this, make sure you have everything you need before you get started. expect to loose a lot of oil your 1st try. As for charging them with Nitrogen 4wheel parts or other shops charge around $20 to do it.

Sold mine for 1300, this dude is much cheaper

 

I've got enough things to spend money on at the moment haha. Maybe some day
