1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

For what it's worth I've Frankensteined old vises back together with 7018 no preheat no post heat no slow cool when I was 14 welding with car batteries that are still together and see use

 

My biggest concern would be a fail when using it. Can you imagine the wench get ripped off the bumper under load.

 

I should probably unwind all my rope and clean it up a bit before the winter time hits......


So much effort

No one said it wasn't.

I just described the only cast metal I've welded before and it was aluminum.

 

yeah it's not a particularly fun chore, but it's probably worth doing to check for frays too

 

The comments from other women in that thread are savage lol. Reading them feels like an intervention

 

Ferrous and aluminum are waaay different I wouldn't bring up aluminum when doing iron. It's just a lot easier

 

No shit

My comment was simply stating that anything cast is going to be dirty, and not take well to heat.

 

For someone who's been welding a minimum of 5 years or so, I'd expect better welds.

Man that would be a fun project.

 

I hate GM stuff but I’d drive a 6.2/6.5 CUCV

 

anyone running old school hella halogen driving lights in this age? wanting to supplement my headlights without 1) being douchey 2) getting pulled over

Had a pair of the knockoff KC halogens on the 92. Just angled them down so they filled in the light right in front of the truck. Never had any issues with getting pulled over.

 

the first lights I had on my roof rack were the old school Hella halogens, they were laughably dim compared to others on the trail with LEDs and such. But for something supplemental they will probably be OK.

I dunno what CO's laws are for that kind of thing, here you have to keep off-road lights covered when on the street technically. Not sure about ones at headlight level though

 

Better yet, mix the bubble solution with straight DEET
