1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Well, someone has to watch this cause I had this ready just for him - Smart speaker for old people

 

Nada mas Critter huh?

 

Several of us hoping he didn't actually get in trouble with his work, but deleting his account (considering how often he talked to a lot of people) it's fair to say he probably did.

I'm sure they have his number though.

 

A couple thoughts... if his work got involved in his personal life, either by taking action from whatever clusterfuck he was involved with or they made him stop being on forums, what an absolute shit place to work. More likely it's a cleans and you'll see your friend back here again. Ive had a few wipes of my account, not a big deal. There's a hard rule of no dup accounts so probably navigating it with the mods.

 

Who knows, he's also a Class A truck driver... probably shouldnt TW and drive so I can see the company being rightfully angry.

 

A member, in his area, sent a hand-written letter about his constant activity here

Fair to say a lot of us agree that if it did put anyone in danger (he is a truck driver), then sure gtfo of it, but just giving him the benefit of a doubt and really the TW activity was during downtime

Was never a friend of mine, never even talked to him offline or in PM

More of a "that sucks to happen to anyone" just to have someone have a stick up their ass and take it so personal they sent your job a letter (stemming from here)

 

And that is where many of us would agree

 

He was on my list for some time so no clue what he did. Nor is it fair to assume that he was acting reckless and TW while driving. Trucking does involve a lot of downtime as well as driving.

 

Fair enough, I think having the forum recording posting times and someone apparently having ratted him out would make it super easy for said company to verify what he was up to. Wouldn't be hard to verify the claim is my point, and if all they made him do was delete his acct I'd say he got off easy. No reason to delete it if they already let him go right?

 

You are absolutely right but that's for them to sort out.

 

I truely hope none of you ever have to experience installing TRD headers. Holy fucking shit, I’m half tempted to pull the fucking cab again. This driver side just does not fit any which way. And instructions are non existent.

 

I'd heard they are a pain but damn, sounds like a nightmare job. You sure you got the right complete set?

 

Don't really know what to list this for. 190K, good compression, one spark plug had a time-sert installed but it came out when I removed the plug. I reinstalled and the truck ran fine still but that's definitely something.

 

$750 complete should go quick

$1250 you'll get some lowball offers but you'll sell it

 

$500 have it sold tomorrow

 

Yeah. I'm thinking $500 is low but over $1000 will be too steep for my local market. Maybe list it at $800-$900 together and let someone talk me down to $750 minimum. I should get ~$300 for the body and frame at the scrapyard with the back filled with more scrap.

 

It’s right. It’s just fucking tight fitting. This thing straight up is the hardest piece of kit I’ve ever installed in a car period. I could have the engine out and torn down on a Camry before I even get the driver side manifold in

 

If it were manual - I'd almost consider a drive for it "local-ish" -- but I'd still low ball for the drive. lol.

 

I don't even wanna talk about the cx crossover pipe I thought "fit nicely" -- after all the futs I'm still gonna probably take it off, make some cuts and weld to make it actually fit.
