1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

He stopped by camp and had dinner with us a few weeks ago. Damn nice dude.

 

Nice. Don't get that with big manufacturers.
I had to default back to ordering a Front Runner rack for the incoming Subaru but always like going indie when possible. Gamiviti is a great example.

 

Racing stripe for faster welds

 

Really?

Going from 31's to 33's (E load) still kept me at 18mpg with camping gear (and a 2" lift). That's what I netted going to and from Moab (17hrs each way) and there were a lot of hills to climb. Not to mention following @eon_blue speed racer ass well above the speed limit -



Soon as I added a mid-length Sherpa aluminum roof rack, I would struggle to get 15mpg it seemed like even with an empty vehicle and no spare -

I'm guessing you'll hit 12-13mpg; should do multiple gas run and fill-ups now and compare with a roof rack once you get it.

I won't put a roof rack on my Land Cruiser, hell no.

 

The Red helps me burn hotter too

 

Yep. I think the rack will be shipped in a couple of weeks. One thing that I think helps keep mileage around the factory high estimate of 16 is the wheel and tires (285/75R16) weigh 62.5 lbs where the original stocks were 62. It may help.

 

Sherpa makes some nice racks

 

I think no rack is the call unless you really need it and it makes life easier (like for surfboards and a cargo box) or if its not your daily. I'm not a RTT guy, not sure if you are, but I don't think the tradeoff is worth lugging that weight up top either. Especially on a Cruiser.

 

Plus that would only really pertain to babies. No judgment on anyone still breastfeeding a toddler but...it's also kinda weird

I guess that is judgmental, still weird

 

They do, I really like them.

Material costs has forced them to raise their prices unfortunately; that rack is now almost $300 more.

 

you have to go at least 10mph over on the 15 between LA and Vegas or people will probably shoot you lol.

 

Yep!

Not into RTT's either; I just use the big trunk space for all the things.

 

Whatchu gon do with all that trunk all that trunk in your trunk

 

For our DV trip, we should really make it a thing to find the most ghetto gas station again.

Make it a tradition or something

 

mmm that's a yummy one

I'm a little jealous

 

I sure as hell hope we don't go all the way to Vegas on our way to Death Valley haha

 

Shit I better start fixing the Tacoma soon lol

 

There is a cutoff where its okay to be judgmental in these matters.
