1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Lol yeah, we rolled through Virginia City (which is an old mining town above Reno that still has the original wooden planked sidewalks and old saloons).

Got a lot of "Woooooooooo!"

 

Yea but then I turn into Bob the builder.

 

The break-through to do custom auto shit is insane. It takes forever to build a name. Unless you're doing one of a kind jobs, you'll be just about name in the crowd.

One bad job can sour a lot of potential customers because of how fickle car enthusiasts are.

 

I make a living selling car horns, if you find your niche it makes good money.

I was going on for modifying lol my bad

 

So, that's kinda what I mean. WTF thinks, "I love wrenching and cars, I'll sell horns"

My nephew spent 8 years working in a high-end machine shop, was blueprinting and building parts for Ultra 4 buggies, living the dream as an underpaid monkey.

Bought a 3D printer and started making custom fob cases for locals, and started building shift knobs. Brainless work that now nets him 150k a year.

Less work, more pay. Not as much fun while working, but plenty of money to afford toys now.

 

Essentially that's me. An underpaid hazmat jockey

Your mustang

 

It just kinda happened, I wasn’t looking for business ventures. Posted a video of my horn setup out of a 1985 Cadillac DeVille on here and I was flooded with messages asking about it.

 

Don't understand



That 5.0 is music to my ears at full throttle.

From my post in the "Use it or lose it" reminder to use the 4lo selector monthly thread on the 4runner forum, I got a reply:

I'm gunna run out now and check tire pressures! I bet that's the issue!

 

Who wants a double cab cheap, just needs a new tranny. Good candidate for a manual swap - https://tucson.craigslist.org/cto/d/tucson-2003-toyota-tacoma-4wd/7152889617.html

 

My 2.7 with 5MT is naturally aspirated and bone stock with 240k miles. It’s a slug.

Chime in with what you think is the best move for radiator replacement.
