1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

oh I have the Caffeine on lock... but sadly Caffeine and welding do not mix well for me lol.

I have a buddy to work on Race Taco, but the Double Cab Frame is just sitting in my unheated Garage waiting for love.

 

Is the garage insulated at least? I used a space heater to effectively heat my old two car garage before I got the shop

 

It was a painful week when I switched from the 6s down to the 3s. Coffee and tea won't kill your heart like energy drinks. But when you need to punch, monsters and zyn are the way to go.

 

Garage doors are not haha. I always think about making the upgrade, but never do.

 

You had me at Red Bull but cigars?

Man, I thought even black and milds were bad....

Probably a far cry from a purpose-built insulated door, but a lot better than a totally uninsulated aluminum door if that's what you're coming from.

 

Black and Milds are bad that's why haha

 

Yeah they are, young me was quite a bit more foolish and less wise than Now me

 

I can get down with a cheap cigar just fine but I do draw a line at Black and Mild. Swisher sweet is meh but its easy to find. The king of cheapo cigars to me is still Garcia y Vega

 

I may go buy a few packs this weekend

 

@Speedytech7
Whats your inspo for the bed build?
Thinking like that guy Overland Under Budget style?
Pretty sure his is a slide-on on a flatbed

 

Yeah that is the general idea for sure. But I don't want an extension portion over the cab and because I have a 6ft bed I can get away without it I think. Also would prefer a vertical pop up rather than angled. I have a buddy that does textile work and we were going to talk about how to achieve that nicely. But I like that guy's design a lot otherwise, my truck is a little wider at the axle +tires so I may end up a bit larger on the back too to make it look proportional.

 

Pseudo airstream is pretty cool looking, don't think I have the resources to accomplish that look.

Mine be more like this if I tried to emulate it...

 

You've probably seen it already, but this guy did a really cool hard-side vertical popup
Even did an automatic pneumatic lift on it

Yeah, I was admiring his use of linear actuators rather than gas struts

 

That's crazy!
I'm with you on the vertical pop up versus wedge. Sorta like the Ovrlnd (horrible name) Bivy...no cab overhang.

 

Jesus fucking christ... I started working on a rig and it was "nice" and 40 degrees for one day

Teens and low 20s with wind the other 13

3 shirts 2 thermals and 4 pants under my overalls and ITS STILL COLD

 

Truck House Life style

Might be a bit heavy for a taco lol
