1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Even at the hotel, Bronx is always under the table waiting for food to drop

 

thanks for all the help guys, guess ill just stash the card on my account for now and buy in person. One thing you can't look at in person is the quality of the welds present, QC can be hit or miss even on big brands from what i read. 3 tons it is, will do some more research! Appreciate it!

 

Those are what we used on my 4R


















































HF has a lot of good stuff for sure, but you won't need them any more once you get your mini van

 

I've been learning about Skydio 2 from the owners' groups. I can see people getting better at flying every week. The weather is too crummy here to take it out for flying on weekends to start learning.

Weekdays are good but then we're working. It's amazing what everyday people are being able to accomplish. I see most of the advancements coming from outside of the US.

Fuck he's passed the hell out

 

I bought these and I returned them the next week. They didn’t work for any of the vehicles I had really well. With the truck adapters, they were too short to reach the Tacoma. On the 300zx, there was nowhere to lift from safely due to the unique unibody design of it. On the E320 it sorta worked, but the car is so wide the loft points just felt unsafe and I didn’t trust getting under it.

It’s great for certain cars, but it wasn’t good for me. You can’t adjust the lift points like a traditional two post lift. It’s static.

 

Just in case any youngin's wander in and aren't familiar with this masterpiece

@Wulf

Have you guys worked on the backyard in your new homes?

We have an idea; we want half lawn and half hardscaped but unsure what way we'll go exactly. Maybe stone steps with small rock to fill? Idk.

We wanted a tree but seeing how little real estate we'll have back there has made me think otherwise.

 

I just showed this to my daughter and now she won't stop asking me for He Man lol

 

At least it’s not baby shark!

 

Do-do-do-do-do-do-do

Junkyard won’t sell the whole thing I’m betting

 

I put in a small brick fire pit and cleared a bunch of brush but other than that and the fence I built, no. Moles have wreaked havoc on my lawn if thats what you want to call it. So until I get rid of those guys Im not dropping the coin on nice landscaping.

Its in the plans to do a shed and a deck or paver patio eventually, but more important stuff needs to come first. Long term goal is around a 20'x30' metal garage building for activities.

 

Wtf

 

@Blue92
Permanently rid your yard of Moles, Voles and Skunks.

I added nematodes to my soil over 10 years ago and haven't had any Moles since.
Skunks wander through occasionally but quickly realize there is no food to dig up. BIG WIN.

 

@Speedytech7

This is enough to make me want an LC.

That stance



If I had my 4R, I would've tried to park near it to show how small and puny my rig is

 

Get one! They're only getting more expensive

 

If you want a lawn, my suggestion is to do a hard scape border around the outside and do an “island” of grass on the interior with a nice smooth border and no hard corners. This is what our plan is eventually.

In our case, our grass goes right up to the fences, curbs, patios, etc. and the edges are always a dick pain to keep from looking ratty. They’ll be replaced with rock or deep mulch borders and weed barrier. Where there are high traffic areas, we’ll do stone paths. We’ll do some accent plants in pots in the borders, but nothing in the soil to make weed management easier as well as swapping out dead plants.

Hope that makes sense.
