1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

What shop is this

 

i kept rebuilding my front suspension last night, was a bit of a nightmare really haha sounds like too much truck on the brain. I prefer surfing dreams.

Already have those lol

 

oh

 

caterpillar dealer, that's what we use for all the skid steer and mini ex rocker switches.

 

Yeah i already have everything for the front to fit 32”
Just need to get everything i need for the rear

 

Alright, bank of TacomaWorld, tell me if I'm being financially smart. I'm about to commit to some 3rd gen 4Runner 5 star wheels. Been looking for a set for awhile. He had them up for $360 with some tires on them. I talked him into $120 without the tires. Normally that would be a no-brainer. But as of Tomorrow afternoon, I will be jobless and my last check will come next Friday. I sorta kinda not really have an interview set up at another place, just need to call and confirm. But, I may be jobless for a few weeks. Is it smart to buy these wheels?

 

So something like this?

What wheel you have on now? Can you flip them to get some money back?
I would do it if i was you. You seem to been have looking for awhile now for them

 

2nd gen Trd offroad that I painted. I like them but I dont love them. Mainly due to the backspacing, I want to step up to a 265-75, these T4R rims will give me 4.625" of backspacing which will be enough. Id have to wait on switching them out because the ones I'm looking at are black, and I dont like black rims. Id have to set them aside and save some to get them powdercoated as I dont want to sand and paint wheels again.

 

Maybe you should pass on them then unless they dont pop up often where you live

 

Too bad you're in NC, a guy in AZ has a stockpile of those rims... @Greensystemsgo

 

I did a lot of drugs as a kid. LSD isnt just for differentials

 

And meth isnt just for super chargers...

 

@Speedytech7 this was what Icon suggested as far as slowing down my rebound. Add three shims, or go to a 20 stack. That is above my pay grade and am about to educate myself on this lol but here is the info. Highlighted are the shims to add and the part number

 

at 12!

 

If you don't know where or when your next source of income is going to drop, I'd pass. Wheels will always come and go, food on the table, bill pay, etc should be the priority - but that's me.

Throw your stock wheels back on for the time being if you still have them - no worries about backspace with them. Anyway, good luck. Hey, it could be worse:

and like you, I dont want his tires lol

 

@Speedytech7 I didn't want to admit it back when I was putting my new front bump stops in, but I did end up using JB weld on the one that had the stripped thread on the LCA (driver's side)... I posted about it after the fact lol. Anyhow it's been a few weeks now and I hit a 4x4 trail last night after work, ran it pretty hard too thinking I'd need to order a new bump stop for that side expecting it to fall off...much to my surprise that little fucker is still on there solid. Hopefully it continues to hold...if it ever does come off I'll put it on the right way (rethread the hole up 1 size). I was pretty amazed that thing stayed put and shows no signs of being compromised, at least not yet.

They work great too, definitely got a lot of contact with the strike plate. Noticed my back end is a bit stiffer now with the Expos but not too bad, small price to pay for quieter springs and better load capacity
