1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

Same

 

Copy paste fail. fixed, but now I'll have that image saved on this computer for an eternity.

 

UGH!!!
At that point with not having two spares, and the car being that light of weight, you could go another 20 miles on the rims

 

I found a little memento from T2S last year while cleaning my house.



Also, went to pick up an ice box from my mom's. Came home with 2 extra cooker things.

 

Shoulda hit the deer, then you'd at least have a trophy.

 

Pops and I drove around to several local junkyards this morning. I even had a cross reference spreadsheet up for other vehicles that fit.

We went to at least three. Found one rusty, crusty example. Habib wanted $57 for a rim with a tire from 2009.

The ride was fun, the rollback was fun, I really enjoyed talking to the old head that picked me up

 

I usually only get on here when I'm at work during the week but that's been keeping me from uploading stuff because pictures won't upload there.
Worked on fixing my rutted up front yard this past weekend with my father in law, didn't get a lot of pics but rented a dump trailer and borrowed my Papaws F-350 to pull it, brought about 3 loads of dirt over. Don't think the Tundra would have moved with this trailer hooked to it.


Did the ol seatbelt pressure wash special in the F-350 as the seatbelts didn't really retract and it was driving my grandparents crazy, worked pretty well just like on the Tundra.


Pulled this tractor back to my grandparents afterwords with the Tundra, probably the heaviest thing I've pulled with my truck. Think I'd need a bit taller hitch if I was gonna pull this on a regular basis.

Yard is looking good just waiting for grass to grow back.

Gotta replace the rear backing plates on the F-350 soon to make the parking brake work again. The drum parking brake relies on the backing plate to hold the shoes in place, once the backing plate rots there's nothing for them to ride on. Gotta pull the axles and whatnot, doesn't seem like too bad of a job. Hope everyone is having a good weekend.

 

Those are 5x100 wheels aren't they? Think nearly any corolla wheel should fit depending on backpacking and whatnot right?

 

Yes sir, correct on the back spacing. Yall got any up yonder? I need one now for a full size spare.

Pops paid for two new rims from rockauto. I should be able to warranty the two tires.

Bless him, shits tough

Joking, but not really -> taking any and all donations to get myself a new beater when this one is beat down too hard

 

The tractor is too far forward on the trailer creating excessive tonque weight. You want it about 1.5-2' farther back. You want the rear axle of the tractor even with or slightly behind the rear axle of the trailer. I tow mine with the 4Runner.

 

Holy Shit, That had to have been a wild ass ride ! Glad you made it through ffs!

(forgive the sex "alleged" offender content , fitting gif)

 

I've been looking for some WeatherTech FloorLiners and an Access Literider tonneau cover for the 02. In the process, I just saw this beautiful for sale in the local FBM.

 

If you've got 15" wheels, you can get a set of 4 brand new steelies and tires mounted and balanced from TireRack for like $500

 

Thanks y'all, appreciate it. Couldn't have asked for a better day. Hit the desert last night and enjoyed some hot springs, night wheeling, and camping.

Will I get targeted because of the CA plate?

 

I bought one of these for my Corolla that's like yours so I don't have to use the donut, but it looks like they went up in price. I paid $64 after tax.

Sid is coming.
Do you mean targeted by the police or the locals?
Solid maybe...

 

Did you invite Kyle? And both, I'm also not trying to catch a misdemeanor

 

Doubt it. Put a 'dont mess with tx' sticker on your back window & you'll be fine. I let a california truck merge yesterday.

 

Nah, round here most people are friendly and mind their own business.

worst case you can whip out old faithful:

 

We didn't not invite him.
There's a thread for the trip where we invited everyone

Man, its been way too long since dale and I have been out. Had to test the systems before MERUS next week.


The Iceco VL45 will be a perfect fit after the rear seat delete.

 

I take it that’s something you don’t normally allow?

 

I only actively block crossovers. And people that try to jump the line.

 

Hecklers gonna heck

 

After driving the truck for a week or so my uneducated guess now is that the carrier bearing is bad and it's not in the rear end.

 

Pretty much how I operate.

 

is it a howl?

 

Can't believe this thing is still kicking!

 

You coming to Merus?
