1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

that could be arranged, ash is itching to take her jeep out too

I have a feeling that this is going to lead to another 40ft gooseneck to Moab lol

 

exactly what I did (but without Facebook)! Sold a red 1991, F150 a 2002 4 door honda accord and a 1999 yamaha FZR6 to fund my current taco. Now I've got a red 4 door taco with some fast bits added to it

 

I'd still like to do something this year before winter sets in

 

Or speedrun a taco build

 

I often go in November or December, I can poke you about it if you'd like to tag along

weather willing most of the hardcore trails are out but do are the crowds

 

did the LCA bushings work out ok?

 

good idea, I'll drop the taco and front axle off and you can speed run finishing it

 

You're right around the corner from it; you can go out there and get back home same day

I had only suggested a thread cause some of us are coming from a state or two over and the coordinating was much better

 

How much do you think 2" by 1" angle iron is? Like 3/8" I guess 4'

if that makes sense

 

My 1.5" x 1.5" angle iron at 3/16" thick...think it was 20' or 24', was about $40 or $50?

3/8" is twice as thick so I'd venture to guess $80-100 for the whole stick

If you bought just a 4' section, you would be buying remnants so I'd expect it to run you no more than $20

 

Never bought 3/8" angle iron before, but generally speaking, it's easy to figure a cost when comparing weight if you know the price of one of them

 

I need 4 4 footers, wonder if my work gets a discount.

Thinking im gonna use exhaust clamps to some tubing to mount solar panels on

 

Needed more room for TIG work, so is born another workstation in the shop. Short notice have a ton more TIG stuff getting done

 

Perfect

Buy a stick of 20' although some places will only carry 24' sticks (no biggie)

I'd expect it to be less than $100 total; many steel suppliers will cut it down any way you need so you can opt for your 4' sections right then and there

 

The Ford's trans pan was all dented up and leaking. Decided to put on the most popular 4R70W aftermarket pan with a drain plug, new Ford gasket since I couldn't guarantee the OEM reusable one would be there still, new motorcraft filter, cleaned magnet, torqued to spec criss-cross, annnnnddd now it's leaking.

FIPG is annoying and adds so much work. But I never have to redo shit when I use it. Besides that one time that I used an old tube on my transfer case and it never dried.

 

Not legal im ca too

 

6s were a sold buzz from 3s. Now I don't feel the 6s but I do feel it if I don't do the 6s.... Fucking curse.

 

Should be going in later this week. I convinced myself to let a buddy help me since he's got access to a press
