1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Mine is 5500lbs in America and 7000lbs in any other country. I've towed upto 200lbs over the American limit with no problems and it handles itself very well. But I tow long distances rarely, I gone up and down the coast a few times and to South Dakota once. It can do it and I don't worry about it but if I was doing it more regular for some reason I'd get something American. The Sequioa is a better option, upkeep is cheaper and it should be able to tow a decent bit. But it will get abhorrent MPG for sure, even unloaded. But as far as Japanese SUVs go it is likely the most ideal, the LC can tow just as much or more within similar year ranges but they're expensive and complicated.

 

How much was it? Didn't feel like waiting for him to say it.

 

My Merc E320 has a 5500 pound towing capacity in every other country besides the US, where it has no towing capacity.

Do you think your US spec LC is capable of going up to 7k?

 

Holley dominator or AEM you pleb

 

That's a better solution

 

K20 swap it

 

@what road Do you really own a 5-ton? I keep seeing it mentioned, but never seen proof.

 

Idk

 

Eh. 2JZ-GTE is more fun.

 

K20 is a really good engine
Ive seen some fast awd civics with k20s

 

Yeah, I do. Just been busy getting ready for winter. House needs sealed from spiders and other bugs. Also getting the log splitter ready for winter so I can have fire wood. Then there's scouting for wood. Looking for fallen or standing dead trees. Also deer season I need the meat

 

Yikes I would never tow that much with a car too insubstantial and wiggly. Yeah, the cruiser outfitted with 1FZ and towing package like mine is the same in Europe, remember these are all built in the same Japanese plant (Araco), the diesel verions of mine can tow even more in Aussieland and UK. The limiting factor in the US is always braking first and weight second. It's a legal thing not the vehicle being specd different. I have electric brakes and would never tow much over 2000lbs without them as the cruiser on it's own is a bit over 5000lbs.

 

You gotta post a picture.

 

I'll try to remember.

lol

 

Now thats you are married you dont gotta worry about the “its ok im on the pill” but really she aint on it because she wanna trap you.

Because you already trapped

 

You know what, I might just restore that camper shell I have sitting in my yard and use that. I did pay $50 after all.

Fix the broken windows, throw some new seals on, paint it black, and it's a pretty capable thing. Think I want to throw one piece side windows onto it.

 

Tap plastic will cut yout a sheet to how ever you want.

 

Make them into those handy side pockets with a piece of aluminum for the door

 

I've got a high rise with windoors for a Tacoma sitting in WA, it's all yours if you drive up there.
