1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Unfortunately no write up. @CalTacoma09 @foxrcing07 and I were out in my garage till midnight (after we all did a full day at work) to get those done.

They would have kicked my ass if I was out there taking pictures instead of working. Lol

 

I know that feeling. Next time we meet up I gotta crawl under your truck.

 

If you wanna make the trip to Grand Junction you can skip out on shipping haha.

 

If it was summer, maybe. Right now nope

 

I think most recommend General Spring HDs when it just comes to a basic leaf that can handle a bit of weight

 

Just need a lil more payload, and then I'll put my 881's on the front at same time.

 

Someone said that is the harbor freight of leaf springs, is it true?

 

Totally! Have a look.

It rides a million times better than it did stock. Handles WAY more weight than it did. And is really stable on the road.

Eventually, I want to do some Alcans or at least some All Pro Expos. But it's great for me for now.

I also have some adjustable shackles I'm considering putting on, so I can remove the rock catcher overload springs. I keep getting talked out of it though.

Grab a set of leafs of a salvage 5 lug, we'll put the middle leafs on your truck and do a write up

 

I'm not sure, leaf springs are pretty simple. As long as the heat treating is halfway decent you get a working spring. Maybe the normal load ones aren't exciting enough. I'm trying to get away from leafs haha

The guys at the autoparts store wanted my taco and both took my business card, hopefully one of them wants it

She’s rough but I’m sure there’s a diamond in there somewhere.

 

Not that bad, all that fake wood comes off easy enough. Interior trim can be fixed, seats either covers or reupholsters. But she's locked and that's worth something

 

Wish I had 3k Laying around, it’ll be gone by the end of the week haha

 

Might have to do that soon.

 

I've read thru that thread, springs had issues after a couple years. Cracked before front eyes..

 

Did a little stretching today to see how the new brake lines do. Not to shabby for having 30psi in the rear bags.

 

WTF Matt you didn’t take pictures?

 

I didn't catch it, how many miles were on it? 3k is cheap for even a non running triple locked model

 

Like 256k or something, so a bit high, but Toyota so

 

Allpro expo's are 549.00+ shipping. Hmm...but the 5 lug swap looks cool and is budget friendly.

 

I'm really eyeing the Deaver J59s. Those are a 1.5" lift (IIRC). With the added weight you'd need an add-a-leaf. That might void the warranty, but most people don't really care about that.
