1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

We’ve got a next gen embedded product to build soon, and right now it’s running some old embedded os on Motorola cold fire processors. Everything is C . I love c, but I want to find a better way, and rust feels like a good option. Hard to advocate for it though without getting to know it first.

 

You're just in time for https://adventofcode.com

 

Now that’s a good idea. Thanks!

 

I thought Toy axles were fairly strong for their weight though, at least on a lighter rig like a Samurai or first gen minitruck.

 

95.5%

 

They are strong, the issue is the parts are expensive and hard to find and the vendor support blows as they all keep consolidating. The other point I was making was axles should be the last place people should be trying to save weight on a trail rig, weight down low adds stability.

Omelettes du fromage for everyone!

 

This movie is amazing , highly recommended

 

Stilllll waiting for Icon

betting install won't happen next week

 

Yeahhhhh. The whole trail gear acquiring everyone is pretty annoying.

 

What's the hold up

 

Resi mounts

I ordered, just waiting for confirmation and shipping.

 

And marlin focusing on suspensions and arguing with everyone in the internet over them instead of fixing their supply chain that's been broken for 20+yrs is pretty annoying as well.

 

Marlin seems more of a R&D company that sells just enough to keep the lights on

 

I am not the biggest TG fan, they have some good parts and some junk, but I think without TG a lot of aftermarket 1st gen Tacoma and older parts wouldn't be available at all

 

I agree, it sucks to see small companies get bought out and merged into one, but at the same time they are keeping a big part of the aftermarket alive for these trucks (and older ones) that might not be there otherwise.
