1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Ahh gotcha

Just went to check mine out

 

Yeah those ones were good it was the ones holding it into the bedsides where the stock tailgate mounted. Actually now that I think about it, those were my old bolts we reused.

 

Ahh yeah, I ended up using the same one for the very bottom bolt as well.

Yours still squeaking like a mofo?

 

Replace it with this one, 105 amps DENSO from rockauto and a coupon if still available here on TW
I’m having great success with it and I had the 80 amp

Just the bushing when it opens, just spray some dry lube on then and it quiets down. Someday I'll get them apart and put silicone grease on them

 

This

Plus this

Plus this

Equals this

Just saying...

 

Yes. Yes it does.


But for now it goes in the 01 so I can make room for all that.

 

That swap crossed my mind. And I may still do it. But trying to keep cost at a minimum for the time being. All this will be pulled back out when the time comes
To marry the new drivetrain and frame to the body

 

don't you have some Kings to put on


I think I've only opened my tailgate swingout 4 times in the last few months lol. Only really need to open it if I'm loading up for camping, anything else just fits in front of the bed rack or on top of it

 

I'm just gonna SAS so I don't have to worry about changing my bushings

 

You jealous at how shiny they are?



Maybe I just won't install them like someone who won't install his LT kit

I've opened my swing out so many times; I use the bed a lot in my many errands and not a single squeak.

 

What you're saying is, you're going to be breaking even more expensive parts

 

Sas is the only option

 

only one way to find out

 

Maybe just buy this one and sell mine

 

I use these Tein silencer rubber for lowering spring suspensions to insulate the dead springs. Makes it a quiet suspension for years to come.

 

What?

 

Those are the worst

 

Im gonna convert my truck to the Oregon Trail kit, save on gas and only have to replace the yoke or wagon wheel when they break
