1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Ooh, that'd look good with one of Nomads models. grey Convoy or silver Touring would be nice imo

Washy wash. Need to get that sticker off without messing up the clear. Clean components, etc.
Cheaper than buying vehicles...
Nitto cockpit bits, grips, 1x chainring, seat post, saddle, new cables and go. The older gentleman I got it from even put new tubes in.
After looking a bit, seems like the pink/blue is one that gets built a lot these days, must be more common than other colorways.

 

Those look nice and low maintenance. Rays has a new OBX series for Toyota. I hope they weigh about 16 lbs like TE37s. I'm looking to stay at 18.6 LBS or lighter.

Stuff grows so fast



Nematodes move too fast to capture, but here's some cyanobacteria

 

1x is nice if you're staying flat, but I do occasionally miss riding a triple crank, preferably on a touring build with bar-end shifters.

 

how is the flavor ??

 

against my better judgement i think i am going to consider a ford elocker. at least its 12v on/off unlike the dumb toyota bs

 

that might be an accurate way to describe the taste test result too

 

Considered Eaton ? I remember it is stupid simple to install and test with 12v.

 

my locker options for the sterling are pretty limited so its off the table, but I am not really interested in the Eaton offerings. If not the ford locker I would be stuck with an OX or ARB which are both 2-3x the price of the ford one lol

the ford locker doesnt have the lock/unlock issue that the old eatons did and is also stronger. Was planning to leave the rear welded but the gf hates it. she was cringing hard at the tire chirp and hop lol

 

used to like the detroit lockers but i dont see the upside over a lunchbox locker unless super concerned about carrier/ring gear deflection. somehow lunchbox lockers are better at surviving a broken shaft than the detroits are lol

picked up a torq locker for the front, made in usa and the 2 spring design is a lot easier to install/remove than the typical lunchbox locker design

 

Yea I’m working on it. I may have to drive 3-4 hours to go get it but I think it’s worth the try. I confirmed it’s from a 3.4 too. I don’t see a reason why my gearbox itself shouldn’t still work with a new bell housing. I was able to shift though all the gears and shift into 4x4 in neutral, it’s just the clutch pedal that wasn’t doing anything.

 

Send it

 

Just go get it.

Less excuses, more doing.

3-4 hr drive goes by quickly.

 

3-4 hours? little bit of car karaoke, maybe an audio book, little bit of dissociation, boom, there in no time

 

Agreed, I like 2x as well as 3, but we're so flat here you have to go out of your way, like into the state park, to find some fun hills, so I thought I'd try a simple setup. At least I have the parts to throw on if I want more. I still haven't tried the Bosco bars, thought this might be a contender.

 

I don't see the issue, or why the judgement

Just go pick it up like any traditional FB purchase

 

I’ve got a super duty tow pig. Been eyeballing the torq lockers. For the price if they work I think they’ve gotta be the best.

But I’ve been secretly hoping to find a blown 6.7 with an e locker so I can convert the front to coils and an e locker and longer leaves.

 

That sounds like a political statement
