1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I don’t understand why my live insurance company calls me every 2 months for a “yearly review” thats always just some kind of sales thing to buy more insurance

 

Sounds like you do understand, it's a sales pitch.

 

I already have the best policy they offer for me ans my family… idk what more they can sell lol

 

I'm off in the weeds with this 3rd Gen topic but have you guys seen the bed boxes that come with the trailhunter Tacomas? I didn't know they existed until I found some at a thrift store. I thought they were just some cheepo Chinese aftermarket item until I got them home and looked it up.

Not a ton of storage space because of the wheel wells but for $30 I wasn't going to leave them behind.
After making the purchase and loading it up I noticed the drivers side was WAY heavier, turns out it's an insulated cooler.

They might fit in my truck with minimal cutting


But before any cutting I'm going to see if they'll fit in a friend's 3rd Gen

Growing up I remember sitting in the back of my dad's truck wishing the wheel wells were a little bigger for better seating and poof here it is with a cup holder and everything

 

If you update/change anything the new guy probably gets to take credit for the policy

 

any idea why my grandma's ac stopped working? low pressure is still good

 

Probably a bad capacitor. I can come change it for 800$

 

I was gonna say, probably just needs to be recharged so...$600 charge

 

New brake who dis





Best part is that the dies are made out of tool steel (4140 low alloy) so quite a step up from the mild steel used in other setups

 

Just glad I got a 'master set' mocked up for those internal bed stiffeners, but man it was fucking hot today (103)

 

heatwave here too, i haven't even made it out of bed yet . feeling totally zapped

 

Just did a tire rotation on the van, fucking hot out there.

 

It's so exhausting; y'all better keep yourselves hydrated

I don't take naps, but I feel like I'm ready to take a shower and go down for a nap

 

You're missing out on the naps. I love waking up early on weekends knowing that I have a treat waiting for me in the form of a mid afternoon nap. Fucking heaven.

And I drank plenty of beer don't worry. Moved the van to a shady spot at work to do the deed. Almost did the oil change it needs too but no. I'll do that and hopefully get the rear shocks on tomorrow.

 

My ADHD did get the best of me though and having an extra (never used) bottle jack I thought I'd throw it on the press.

I was able to achieve a tighter bend radius (accidentally went past 90 degrees) than I was able to on the same gauge material with a big relief cut.





And the two compared; bottom one is tighter and was bent on the brake

 

even molly is cooked

 

No kidding

More like left in the oven too long

 

she does look a little baked lol

 

I'm sending the HF Torque 3/8 drive to the dump, where it can't do any more damage. I've had it for a few years, and the two times I've tried to use it, it failed and bolts were broken.

I had to get out the old Craftsman that I bought used over 20 years ago.
