1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Let me outside or I'll eat the door.

Ah makes sense that way but trying to judge where the fire will go is like playing basketball blindfolded ain't it

 

Nah they are pretty good about it, but same time its very unpredictable so yeah

 

@what road you should watch the movie “only the brave” it’s pretty good and bassed off true events

 

That was a recent movie about Forrest fire fighters right?

 

Yeah it is. Pretty crazy movie but its good, its a true story.

 

This is why its out of control. Sad really, if they let an industry like say um LOGGING thin the forest, then we dont pay for it, the forest is healthy, they can replant as they go, fires can easily be stopped, and less likely to spread so rapidly, but we must hug trees and protect them to then let them burn in a firey hades

 

Think I want to go from 295s to 275/70r17s or 305/60r18.

Short and wide or short and average....or keep it lifted cause why not

 

Might as well cut your own ass off at this point

 

Do you play in lots of mud and sand?

 

Everything works, the fluid is still there and doesn't look like it's leaked ever. I was going to just put it in the same place as a stock one would go. It's a 1st gen so the dash pad is flat and I have to wrap it in leather or something anyways so I'm not afraid to cut it up to make this work. It's covered in generic upholstery right now and is pretty 80's tacky.

 

Well, for the sake of being honest and fair...


The jury is still out on the Turd Gen. It's too new to honestly assess functionality and reliability and I have yet to drive one. Like most new vehicles is it ugly. The current owners tend to be a bit... ...like BMW owners. I still like it better than the Tundra but it is the #3 Tacoma for a reason.


The old Ridgeline is fugly, barely counts as a truck but is a surprisingly functional and reliable vehicle. Probably nice for someone that needs a 4 seater, haul a small lawnmower all the time and doesn't have a sense of pride. The new one, all be it is more like a truck, does not look any better. In short I rank the Ridgeline slightly above a minivan. I only owned one in an attempt to keep the wife happy (you happily married guys will understand).

 

So it's first gen first gen first gen first gen tundra first gen first gen and that's it

 

Id take a t100 too

 

I was talking about keeping it simple

 

ah i see, well things changed so im going to get a set of ext. travel coil overs first and see what happens afterwards in the front how i feel. rear is still going to happen like i said. make a 3 way link and shock relocate. planning for the shocks go / \ style. if memory serves me right that shock placement will benefit with offroading more than | |

 

No sand, mainly pavement and some mud. Not enough to justify the size I went with except for looks and the cool factor.

 

What kinf of 3link? With just 3 robs and a panhard or 2 low and wishbone on top and panhard

 

A more narrow tire would be better on gas millage but widder would be better if your in the mud.

 

Yes but the weights seem to change that. The 305 only weighs 53lbs while the 275 I'm looking at is around 58

 

there will be 2 rods from the axle at a 45 degree angle to the center on a cross member its a very basic 3 way. still will utilize leaf springs and shocks like stock but keep the axle still aside for articulation obviously. my dad needs to go further into it with me but he drew me a rough sketch. |/\| the | are the frame rails and the /\ are the link rods.
