1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

The OME lift is the same for prerunner and 4x4 right?

 

should be

 

The PreRunner is built on the 4x4 frame, so it’s all the same.

 

Just making sure, just saw a video of a SAS 1st gen

 

Yep. Identical suspension. Only difference is that you don't need the diff drop kit, because you know, you don't have a diff, lol...

 

Give me some ideas on how to clean this up a bit:

Took the lower valance off, relocated the turn signals to the corner markers, and replaced the washer fluid reservoir with a 95-2000 one inside the engine bay, but unsure how to proceed from there.

I've got the cross member (skid plate mount) still fully intact, but considering chopping it up (removing the kick outs that mounted the secondary bumper) and just doing some sort of plate/mesh to go from just above the skid plate to the bottom of the bumper.

Don't want to get too involved since I do plan on a plate bumper/winch, which would likely change the setup anyway.

 

Just use some expanded metal with a 90 degree 1 inch bend on the bottom. Use the 3 skid plate bolts to hold it. Cut the width to fit in between the frame rails.

 

Bend a piece of tubing that follows the bottom profile of the stock bumper then figure out how to connect it to the frame and brace it good, then med a 3/16th sheet of steel that goes from the stock skid mount to the piece of tubing, cleanly.

 

Well that changes things a bit.

 

Oor or or, put the valance back on until you built the bumper

 

TW! 1st gen is ready for a headlight change.

What are my options for a 2002 Tacoma 4door, 3.4?

As many details as you can share, links, threads and such! Much appreciated

 

First time I've seen a real Vermont Tacoma for sale on the SF Bay Craigslist.

Surprise, surprise, it's rusty. New frame though.

I'm very happy with my retrofits.

The tail gate says sex, I feel like there's a good chance it'd fall apart under that stress.

 

If the tailgate says sex, then that rust is Herpes.

 

That’s what I’m talking about @BartMaster1234

Looking sweet as apple pie

 

Retrofits are expensive though, I bought the cheapest stuff on The Retrofit Store and it ran me almost $1,000 with new headlight housings and the cost to build them. This is with TRS' Black Friday sale.

I'm already looking to build another set, I like this set but they're just not bright enough for me.

 

Where the hell is @Sperrunner?

I found a new truck for his frame.

Ah. That's what happened to him.
