1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

My search is a bit different than his, but just as a side note, since I'm still looking at GX/4R....the ransoms people want right now for 5th gen Runners are mind-blowing. I pretty much shelved those for now.
Late 2nd gen Tundras are a better buy than both here, tempting but I don't need that much vehicle. Not too keen on going back to 13mpg either haha.

 

Brand new spectra premium from rock auto. I tried to cleanup and refresh a used tank in 2019 but it eventually rusted and leaked.

 

Getting rare snow tonight on the coast, that means that even if we get one whole little inch, the entire place is gonna shut down for two days. Which is to say, it'll be nice having less traffic this weekend.

 

Says we should get some today too but it really isn't looking like it. Been hardly anything so far and December is usually our snowiest month.

 

speaking of fuel tanks... hopefully I have time this weekend to make this ~24gal unit to go where the stock spare usually sits


I do still need to finish welding the control arms

 

That's a nice spot to put a tank, the Chevy one fits so well though I don't know why you'd go to the effort of making a bespoke one.

 

lol which chevy one, all I've seen is the ford tank and its unbaffled, you can run a fuel bucket, but that is less effective off-road than on

 

We usually go a few years in between any snows that accumulate, so it'll be interesting if it actually happens. It is cool to be on the beach when its covered though.

 

67-72 chevy truck 2nd tank, has some slosh baffles but really not that important to just feed your main tank

 

ah, this will be my main tank tho.

 

Oh, is that going to be enough capacity? Another one I've seen people use is the 90s grand cherokee tank, it's plastic though so you need a skid for it

 

I get by just fine on 18 now, 24.5 is a healthy upgrade

 

Yeah that's pretty good increase. I really want to do the ford 32g saddle tank when I get this camper going since i won't need that space anymore. Free me up for a four link

 

that exactly what I'm doing... trying to package exhaust and an air tank back there too tho.

 

woops.

 

You know I'm no expert, but I think your frame rails should be the same length

 

I almost added an explanation... but I will leave you all to worry about my competence

 

What's the air tank for?

 

uh.....................................

air

 

I donated my bike in Arkansas, it needed a lot of work. The arboretum is nice, but there’s not much to see after a few times really. I’m just gutted I passed up on my dream job in Arkansas for this. The work is really quite dull too.
