1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

As long as there is no arch to the axle tube. Sometimes manufactures put a bend in them to give the wheels a bit of camber.

 

I put it level stick deal on it and its flat

 

I dont see why not. Its non driven like a truck axel so the bearing will spin how ever you want.

 

Nah its okey. Then he will have hella stance

 

Why are you needing new u bolts?

Get a propane torch, heat the nuts red hot and remove them. I do it all the time.

The threads on the u bolts are the same as the lug nuts if you feel you need new nuts. I don't change them if they are in good shape.

 

Trailer doesn't have brakes, so it makes it easier yet to do an axke flip.

 

Well some of the nuts look tack welded on.

I’ll mess with it one of my days off.

I’ve actually got 2 trailer dealerships and a Best Deal Springs in town. Should be a problem finding new ones.

 

Whatever you do, don't buy those parts from the farm stores. They get $9 each for them.

Thieves!

 

The horn tones here are fascinating. They sound nothing like they do in the US.

Have you ever been in a Home Depot and heard the forklift honking? That’s exactly what most of these cars sound like.

Also wow everyone sucks at driving here. Lanes are just suggestions, and everyone honks at everyone.

Lots of pickups here, mostly Nissan Navaros which is the Frontier back home. I haven’t seen a single truck without a rollbar. It’s like 1980 all over again.

 

Did you get an international SIM card?

 

I have an android based international hot spot. $150 outright, and $12 per 3GB. Great deal considering AT&T wants $50/GB.

 

Ok, good.

Then lots of pic should be coming...we like pictures...lots of pictures.

 

Oh I’ve been taking pics of every weird vehicle I’ve seen so far.

The new Hiluxes here look identical to a 3rd gen. You can clearly see the similarities between 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gen Tacomas with the respective Hilux generation.

 

Here’s a brand new Ford Ranger

 

Looks like the Lincoln truck a few years ago just smaller

 

“From the man who brought you the tacoma Cadillac horn, now introduces the tacoma filipino horn”

 

I take it that this is your first trip out of North America?

 

No, I’ve been around Europe. You just don’t see pickup trucks there. Lots of Vauxhal, Peugeot, Renault, etc. I was surprised how big of a presence Ford has in the EU.
