1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I found my last set on ebay, someone got plates for a vehicle and then never actually put them on so they were mint. The taco I need truck plates for so I will probably search some local shops first

 

That's more fun than getting them straight from the state.
Our black and white plates can be custom 6 character, at least I can do that.

 

Classic car plates here are only eligible for cars listed by the Classic Car Club of America. They only list cars from like 1920-1950..
Otherwise you have to go with Historic car plates for 25+ year old, which offer no emissions/registration advantages

 

Oh I had copper plates on my 300ZX haha, they're heavy

 

Yeah thats what I just got too
Theyre sweet but I wish I at least got out of emissions with them

 

Just a Back Bear Picture. I like Last Dollar and Poughkeepsie Gulch better. The GX did fine. I didn't need a spotter.

 

@Speedytech7
Toytec coilovers - garbage in comparison to top brands?

 

Yeah those are straight garbage

 

aren't they rebadged foa or w/e?

like foa was the brand you can't give away because they're made so poorly even a rebuild won't save them?

 

No they're just some machined off the shelf shock absorber with a spring perch

 

damn, might actually be better than foa lol

 

Man, try to do something for family and it just comes apart over the dumbest shit.

 

Feels longer than that

 

I was out there yesterday in the work vehicle having some fun

 

Think I need to finally pull the trigger on a tent before the temps drop and we start going out again

Mocked up a rack, any critiques or reasons why this would be a poor design?

I know most do angled sides, but with it only 9" tall I'm not too worried about it sticking out past the cab. Vertical risers should prevent lateral bedside loading as well. Thinking 1.25x1.25x0.120 tube and some 1.5x2x0.125 angle

 

Looks solid unless you're a fatass

Those sharp edges up top, get rid of them

 

Yeah considering doing 45d cuts on the cross bars and riser corner there so they meet up flush, all square cuts is so much easier though

Weight is not a big concern for me lol, besides being able to support two of me in case I'm bringing a guest

 

That is smart, I’ve had a few people warn me about that with the Avid bars I’m using right now.

Looks good IMO! Maybe cook up a few attachment/tie down points?

 

huh, been trying to identify some mushrooms growing in our front yard and they appear to be of the amanita ocreata variety....aka the Western North American Angel of Death mushroom. Badass

not my pic but they look just like this



should probably get rid of them though before one of the kids or Dex tries to eat one, apparently they are cytotoxic and ingestion means a painful death

 

I used the Avid bed bars with my RTT for years. No issues, the basket addition between the bars probably helped reinforce it
