1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

@Sperrunner is still sitting on them waiting to sell them to somebody

 

I just lock my gate. Doubt he would care enough to jump the fence

 

I wish he gave me his old stuff for free lol

 

Btw any one selling LCA and spindles

 

I have a bad habit of taking anything free somebody gives me. Then realizing later that it's worth next to nothing

 

I would've kicked down my old suspension if I knew you were looking. Why it ended up on the curb.

 

Speaking of selling parts, are first gen grills worth anything? I have a spare I'm not using. Bought it in case I fucked my stock one up when I made my custom one

 

I see them on CL for 50 bucks now and then. I'm holding on to my original. Just in case I decide I like chrome again lol

 

Keep it so when you get a winch you can see where you gotta cut by using that one

 

I don't think I'll have to cut for a winch. But if I do mine is just metal mesh, not worried about cutting it

 

Depends on the winch

 

True, just saying mine isn't anything fancy. Probably gonna get a shittybuilt 9k

 

Bacon grease

 

So here is what I have figured out...

For Poly bushings, stick with the bushing manufacturer grease (daystar = lubrathane). If you can't do that, the best poly bushing grease I have used to date is.....


Energy Suspension Formula 5 grease


It is some super messy tacky goop but i dont see the bushings complaining. Autozone, pepboys - all of the auto part peeps should carry the small tubes. If you need a bulk solution, Amazon.

$14 Energy Suspension- 9.11104 8 OZ TUB OF FORMULA 5 PRELUBE

@Speedytech7 had some rhyme for it I can’t remember

 

I am the world’s shittiest craftsman

Is there a way to alleviate the flexing? I was thinking metal guy wire and turnbuckles.

I would make a terrible civil engineer

 

Triangulation.

Also use shit without holes in it

What the hell are you crafting bud

 

It’s a painting rack for several hundred car horns

 

Wire in a x under tension

 

Assuming you'll hang them from the holes? If so why not two more pieces going from corner to corner to give it more structure?
