1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

If it had one of the 5-speed manuals from the rangers I'd probably still have it.

 

Yeah it was memorable.
Even the guys at the shop I had it towed to were like, you guys don't want to hang around here. The tow was scary too. We ended up taking our surfboard bags off the truck, stuffing clothes in those then bailing on our hotel room at night and walking across the desert for a few hours to a train station and getting to the coast. Went back later for the truck. Haven't been to Barstow since.

 

My high school buddy talked about going the other way... swapping the 4.0 from an Explorer into his Bronco II.

 

yeah, they sure do. One of the cashiers at a gas station here was showing me all his diy tattoos and told me about Amazon lol

 

I imagine you could do a nostalgia project on one of those pretty cheap these days.

 

@Speedytech7 Another thing I liked about it, now that I think about it, was the visibility. I feel like it had near Discovery II level windows.

 

The whole Firestone Ford Exploders didn't help things.

 

Oh yeah, forgot about that. That was huge.

 

were... were they good?

 

Uhaul never let me rent anything because of that... like literally the thing was 18 years old, you think im still running the small batch of firestones that explode

 

they were actually really good, i asked who his artist was and that's when we started talking AB it

 

Oh forgot to mention, on the on-ramp this morning a Silver 2nd Gen was pulled over (just before it splits towards the freeway).

Can clearly see his driveshaft was hanging low.

Was on my way to school otherwise had it been Fri or a weekend I would've gladly pulled over.

Shitty way to start the morning. Bet it busted when he stepped on the gas.

 

oof that sucks. Was it 4wd? Could get home in 4x4 if he took the rear driveshaft off. Unless more shit blew up when it went out

 

Mudflaps were removed so couldn't tell ya; was too dark to really see anything other than the driveshaft hanging below (lifted truck) and all the stickers on the rear glass of his camper shell.

 

But yeah going into 4H and getting right off the freeway would've been the first thing I would've done.

He was there with his hazards on so maybe he was a Prerunner, or was getting tools to pull off the driveshaft so it didn't drag before leaving.

 

Haha that is fun. You wouldn't expect ifs torque steer but it sneaks up on ya

 

Damn that's a banger

 

But can it hang

 

@Yota X

Ordered that M100 air filter kit (M60 plus 3 total filters) just now since I forgot to earlier.

Filling a 5 gallon bucket to do my 5:1 plasma cutting fluid mix.

534oz is just above the Home Depot border -



106oz remainder will be the fluid additive.
