1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

The old metal ones are pretty cool, I have a few of those. Shits are getting pricy tho

 

Oh okay I was going to pick one up and I seen that drilling is required. Figured I’d ask you.

 

Actually I just looked it up, you're right you do need to drill 2 holes on each side.

 

Dammit I don’t wanna drill to my frame. But if I have to fack it.

 

Yeah you probably will in order to mount a t-case skid properly.

Unless you do a full belly pan instead, the belly pan I have covers the t-case and transmission. Mounts up near the back of the IFS skid and to a cross member in the rear that uses factory holes.

I've only run the belly pan a couple times, mostly I just run the t-case skid and my IFS skid which is enough coverage for 99% of the trails I do. The belly pan skid is heavy AF to have on all the time, and a pain to take on/off if you have to do maintenance under the truck.

 

I'm starting to think people might be over valuing these things. I know my Z31 will never be valued at more than 8k, at least not in the next 30 years. But how in the world is a 240, a car that originally sold for 3.5k and was restored, not original selling for 124k?



Is everyone on Bring a Trailer as dumb as I'm convinced they must be?

 

Man they make slot machines for everything. I saw an Ellen Degeneres themed one.

 

That’s very Ellen Degenerate of you.

 

Thank you, you’re very Ellen Degenerous.

 

sweet, I was on a waiting list for that weekend welding class and just got registered. Figured it'll be a good way to get introduced to it hopefully.

At the very least it'll get me familiar with using my shitty flux core welder at home lol.

 

Nah, that isn’t my Ellen Depreference.

 

Only worth what someone is willing to pay I guess.

Maybe someone should list their 1st gen for that much and see if there are any takers.

 

someone already did list one for over $50k
they know what they got
think it was a stepside
its the golden taco thread (i think)

 

And you’re Ellen Deignorant.

 

PS idea

 

parts monkey asked me 3x if I was sure I wanted to buy two batteries for my truck lol

 

The F250 has dual batteries?

 

Parts guy looked at me funny when I asked for 12 spark plugs for my v6.

 

Tire store asked me at least 3 times if I was sure I wanted 255s for my truck.

"Those aren't going to fit"

"Yes they will"

"...but they're not for your truck"

"I know, but they'll fit"

"We usually only sell these for trailers"

"TAKE MY GODDAMN MONEY"

 

I'm probably one of the only people on this forum that could care less about that lol. My wheels are beat to hell as it is
