1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Don't be a cheap ass, stop drinking for a few months, sell LED lights, any expo type crap you have and eat ramen and buy air bumps now. They are awesome and would be totally dumb to drop this much money into a build and cheap out on this.

I suck at shock setups, I have 14" shocks with 1" of uptravel.

Fuck I would even sell that V8 to run air bumps.

 

Scheel-mann?

 

I really can't say enough good things about my Mastercraft Safety seats, the suspension design and bucket shape makes it very comfy

 

Man, I have honestly done zero research on bumps other than I am planning them into where I final weld things on axle for the future. They are something I should def not skip?

 

I'm legit happy as hell with my Sparco.

For as little as the entire setup cost me, I'm glad I went the route I did over Corbeau.

 

Only thing is I gotta take it off before my girl drives because it’s gunna block the rear view camera

 

Man if he comes all the way for that trip, I'll drive over as well... missus and I only have a few available trips before the move

 

They don’t recline though do they?

 

They have a reclining model, I just didn't get them, I don't adjust the seat angle ever. I did get lumbar though

 

Mmmm

reclining is required for sleeps

 

I’ve never pulled a LS that had clean internals. They make power. But damnit they’re gross 90% of the time inside.

 

Hey you just described me, alive but rotten

 

I find American vehicle owners are usually less diligent and in the midwest where they know it'll be junkyard fodder in half a decade they probably just let it ride until it dies

 

Well the newer LS shitboxes burn oil like no other (around 15+). The fords are rotting in half. And the dodges.. well the cams usually don’t exist anymore because they still can’t make a lifter.
(I HATE the gen 3 hemi. That engine can go fuck itself)


then you’ve got crusty Toyotas with leaking timing covers and cam seals.

nissans usually don’t have a body left after 10 years

 

They are sweet. Don't get shock mounted rubber bumps on a 3link. I have air bumps on my cheap as fawk leaf spring SAS and they totally changed how the front end handles bumps. I can only imagine them on a decently setup suspension.

 

Wow indiana rust is something else

 

our rust is nothing compared to maine/new york etc.

 

Idk man you cant see what’s not there.
Your rust looks bad

 

my fathers 02 is still on the original frame


the trick is to actually clean your cars.. its not hard. regularly clean a car and it wont rot away to nothing

 

I dunno, when I was in Indiana I saw 2 year old vehicles with holes through them
