1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

They’re all going to different places in the engine bay, braiding it defeats the purpose.

 

What bothers me is how these trucks only got 2 switch blanks. My sisters '04 Rav4 has like 5 or 6.

 

These trucks were from a simpler time. Haha.

The 3rd Gens have about a million switch blanks.

 

I need to take lessons from you

 

I really want a Suzuki Samurai. I saw one for sale for $999 at the Oakland Pick-n-Pull and was seriously considering buying it. I came back the next day and it was gone.

 

Its a solid axle they wheel pretty well, but you dont hit the dirt really so why buy one?

 

Haha if you’re taking lessons from anyone, take them from @mechanicjon. I learned mostly everything automotive electrical wise from him.

He helped me create a retrofit harness to adapt to OEM power door harnesses for my truck to add power locks, windows, and mirrors.

Here’s my hand drawn schematic for my retrofit system.



And a very early prototype of the system on a table. I’ve since refined it.

 

So I can have two Mall Crawlers!

 

@BartMaster1234

This is my mess. Adding in a few more sensors. It super ugly but works.

 

Oh yeah! You have the turbo.

I’m sure I’ve asked you this before, but how do you get past emissions?

 

You are looking at the magic right there. Full plug and play. This goes between the ecu and stock harness under the dash. Everything stock is still in place. Just need to unhook it.

 

You remove the turbo system every two years? Sounds tedious.

 

Yup, it is kinda, but all the parts get cleaned and inspected. It's normal off road truck maintenance.

 

OMG KILL IT WITH FIRE

 

All of it. Not too bad. I don't have a core support. It's all open and designed to remove easy. So slow when it stock.

 

I'll get a pic this weekend.

 

Still braid pairs together
