1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Well guys think stainless is stainless so no matter what it won’t rust. but 18-8 and 316 is not the same lol. So you can get stold stuff at SS but its very poor quality

 

The latest issues are the AC and head unit taking a dump. It’s a cool truck, but I’m tired of it, bit even necessarily cause it’s a shitbox.
I’m just ready for something different.

 

Imagine getting a leak test done on the AC to find the issue.

Headunit? That's literally a 15 minute replacement, literally.

 

I bet there's a lot of sale in NC rn

I have done Jemez, up to Valle Caldera. Really pretty. Been down the VLA and just hit the Taylor mountain area. For only living here a month I think I'm doing pretty good. There's a ton to see so it'll take me time to hit a lot of the spots.

My part of ABQ is one of the better ones. I'm happy with it.

That looks really good!

 

Yeah true, and I think when you get it at big box stores, like I did, you gotta be careful sometimes. I had my 316 hex bolts I used for the lengths of the roof rack, and grabbed the smaller pieces I needed that were nearby in trays, still labeled SS, but obviously lower.
Random side thought, I believe the DeLorean was 304.

 

Late second gen IS are growing on me. Maybe I just never paid attention, don't see a ton of em around here.

 

Nice. Changes the whole thing, looks great.
Bedslide will be handy.

 

You can tell the age by the rust rings.

 

i dont think its suppose to do that

 

It's snowed twice, once in August and once in September both just dustings. It's been in the mid 70s the last 3 weeks. I feel like early November things will change and we are going to get a heavy December.

 

Hope just not to heavy when i want to go up there

 

speaking of snow; pikes peak marathon was rerouted to a shorter course because of snow -- it froze aidstation water over night.

There would have been snow on the high point of the race I ran the weekend after - but it warmed up and went away. I saw one little nuggie of snow on the course.

 

Are you still thinking early December? It shouldn't be too bad.

 

Thanks, had the bed slide for years, just never taken it out since the first install, I usually take the whole bed off with it still in haha

 

might have missed it -- what did you use for the liner?

 

Yeah thats the plan
