1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

that was the other one I was looking at -- it's about 1/4 the price for sure but the buckle kinda stinks based on reviews. It's for sure something I want to remove OFTEN.

I did find this little thing which is a little more than I want to spend for a chunk of powder coated metal buuuuuut would have a minimal footprint without the tank too...was thinking of using some infinity modular like straps to make it easy -- comes with cruddy clamps.

 

pulled both sides most of the way one of the unit bearings is distinctly gritty. blah that better be it

 

Woo! They're back

 

Some Voile straps would work just fine with that in a pinch, just make sure the edges of the bracket aren't sharp.

If my guestimation is correct, you'd need two straps--15"+20" or maybe 2x20"--to get around a 5lbs tank.

 

good thinking on checking for sharp shit - looks buttery smooth with the powder coating but defects suck.

I'm thinking two straps keep it happy - that way if one does fail the other is there to mostly hold it.

And when the tank isn't in the truck -- it's almost not even a burden of a mount. hummmm...

 

heck - some long velcro strap could do the trick too...90% if not more would be out of the sun

 

i mean it is approaching 200k mi on beat to shit roads. tbh the worst part is/was figuring out the combination of flex joints and extensions to remove each bolt for the caliper and unit bearing. every single one is different. fucking acura lol

gf will pick up a new unit few towns over tomorrow and i guess we slap it together again after work

 

Any of you guys interested in an 80 series triple locked "I think 96" LC for $1,000?

The bad:
The exhaust is falling apart
The power steering leaks
Interior needs detailed
Paint is shot.
Maybe more

The good:
1 owner
It's only $1,000
Triple locked

 

i hope that shit is it. seems like it to me but these new cars are so fussy it’s hard to tell

 

location? i dont need it and dont need to spend the money but i like retail therapy

 

one more big purchase will fix me

 

Sounds like the fun kind of bad choice. Good thing I don't have a trailer.

 

wanna borrow one ??

 

I was kinda thinking the same...like why do I go oooo shitty thing, WANT WANT WANT...

 

I was thinking Voile straps because they have some stretch so it's easier to snug down around a solid object. If you aren't worried about that, then NRS straps are cheap and outdoor-chic.

Tahoe, it's my old neighbors. I'm looking for a picture on my phone.

 

Google says my truck's good to tow 3500lbs, sounds like a party.

 

yah - I also have a couple laying around I could just try; whatever I pick will get used, for the tank or other things -- win win.

I remember buying some of these and liking them. Have no idea where they are now though. Should probably buy more
