1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Wait tracker motor? I think you mean Trooper. And yeah, that Isuzu 3.5 has lots more power, but the 5vz has significantly fewer problems.

 

Those 60° V6s are easy to work on, my buddy and I rebuild a 2.8 and a 3.4... both carbureted with some mods haha. But they are heavy little fuckers, like serious weight for such tiny motors.

 

Chevy Tracker and Isuzu Trooper both got it among other engine options as well

 

300 more pounds (or one @what road ) and you got yourself a 4bt lol

 

No but the 2.8 and 3.4 are both 425lbs

 

4bt without trans is 730 lbs, you're thinking of the 6bt

 

Here’s where I ended up tonight on front bumper. Was slow going. Lots to consider.

 

Im probably thinking with trans. Either way its not light at all

 

Simple, understated, like a towelbar with a winch. Seriously though, looks like the beginnings of a beefy bumper, did you make the baseplate?

 

Yeah very easy to work on. My buddy's snapped a timing chain on the highway. Towed it back to his house and replaced it in about an hour. Almost as easy as working on a 22re. For the longest time I thought it was carburated, finally took the air cleaner off and realized it was tbi.

Ahh, didn't realize the Tracker got the 3.5.

 

Baseplate?

 

Needs more bull horns and multiple recovery points

 

The part a winch would mount to

 

Oh no that’s the only thing I haven’t made so far. I had an extra laying around to I utilized it. It’s only 1/8”, I wanted to make me own from 1/4”. But it should still be plenty strong

 

@Spoonman so jeep people stole your idea for a rear bumper

 

Damn this fire has grown 70k acres sense yesterday...

 

Ehh mine isn’t that nice anyway. But I do like the dimple died plate...hmmmm....

 

Since I don't value my sleep, and I'm about to hit 100 unread pages...

 

It really is not worth reading, you'll read it and wish you didn't bother

 

I was tagged almost 50 times, surely it must've been important!
