1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Sell it on here?

 

be honest now, did you just toss the bed rack in with it to get rid of it or

 

Building a Bedrack with 4wd ?

 

Congrats on the sale, post up that 2nd gen when you get one

 

Nice. That's great its a local too, less headache all around.

 

Man..5-6th video on social media about that robot that unalived itself

 

I'm pulling my freekin hair out fellas. Trying to figure out how the previous builder plumbed this water/oil heat exchanger.

Found this vaguely helpful hand drawing in his old build folder.

Okay, number references is nice, I can figure out which fitting to use. Ask the bossman if he's got photos on fitting orientations.. he come out 10min later with these and says "this is all I can find"

My brother in christ, how have you made money with this company for the past 22 years?



And he's actively working on hiring another guy for out here in the shop so I can "train him" train him how? No sane person is going to come into this shop and see us building off grainy ass photos and think "yea, this is a company that has their shit together"

 

The one pulling boxes off the the shelf and turning around to put it on a conveyer belt? That has some hydraulic failure and just collapses?

 

I could have tons for free after parting this bitch out...but is it worth the pain? Probably not

My last boss didnt have access to a cad software so all of his drawings were hand done.

He didnt think so kindly when we joked about his coloring book in front of him.

 

Time for an on the fly redesign?

 

See I wanted to actually look up what happened and I figured it was some kind of mechanical failure.

But of course my attention span didn't get me there.

 

imma start calling his handouts "the coloring book" now lol


What kills me is the man pays a yearly solidworks subscription. The old shop manager used it (poorly) to make drawings of brackets and things but only ever put one or 2 complete model packets together. But since he left Boss let him keep a profile on the computer so he could work part time on updating drawings. However, he hasnt done a minute of work in the past months since his departure. And anything he drew, he saved to his profile instead of the shared drive so I can't load anything. And boss doesn't want me spending time on drawings cause I'm the only builder in the shop now.

 

Regretfully yes, and its not the first time its happened. But then we've got these unique little snowflakes out in the field without proper documentation.

Bill doesn't care but it makes my damn skin crawl when a customer calls in asking for something, supplies the s/n, and we have to tell him "can you take and send us a picture so we know?"


Makes me feel like a damn clown show. I try to explain to him that s/n are important and should be all a customer needs to get exactly what they want. How would you feel if you called a Ford dealership with a VIN and they told you "oh that doesn't really mean anything to us, can you take a picture?" Falls on deaf ears

 

Based on what I know about hydraulic systems, it looks like an air line that controlled its leg cylinders failed, causing it it to crumple. Then went into shutdown mode cause the programming didn't have a sub routine in case something failed

 

I see being able to fund my project with out spending house money.

 

You will love a 2nd gen

4door just make sure you get the 6foot bed.

 

Yeahhhh as a customer I wouldn't be super thrilled by that process.... No doubt you're frustrated especially since this is a recurring problem with the equipment

 

@Speedytech7

When you've got a 430k mile engine, but still want almost $7k for it

 

Eh if he had the all the receipts for the 300k rebuild it's not far off at all then. It's about 5.5k to rebuild a 1FZ, parts aren't cheap and a lot isn't reusable. Plus this one comes with the SC and all the running gear
