1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Just on the superstitions and the outskirts. The flooding is pretty neat though, I was blazing paved trail last night for fun. Who needs a snorkel when your engine has a water heater sized air cleaner with a water separation section

 

I remember looking at the air intake from that cruiser I pulled parts from. You weren’t kidding about water heater sized air intake.

 

yeah that's a damn shame its a 3.0...although still for that price it could be worth picking up and if you run into trouble with the engine later, just swap a 3.4l in it

The bed on that thing looks 10ft long damn

 

True, the 3.4 is a bolt in swap, just have to run the wires, takes an afternoon if you've done it before.

 

The only way to hydro lock would be to sit with the water level above the throttle body on the engine.

 

Same here. There’s snow at the highest peaks of the East Bay Mountains. There was a few inches of snow at the peak of Mount Hamilton only 45 minutes from San Jose.

 

@eon_blue I know it was gonna be a perfect daily / haul pig. If money was no object I would consider that. LOL

 

Is anyone here running a 255/80/R17 tire ?

 

This picture makes me happy

 

I'm running a 255/85r16 which is the exact same size tire

 

Yeah math tells me they would be the same. How do those handle on the road at highway speeds? Do they weigh less than other 33's ?

 

yeah they actually weigh less than the 32" KO2s I had on previously by a few pounds per tire, both E rated. They handle fine IMO, but everyone's definition of that is different. I didn't notice any real difference in MPGs in commuting other than the fact that my speedo/odometer is slightly more off now that the tires are bigger. But it was nice to be able to go up in size without getting heavier.

Depending on your wheels/backspacing you will need to trim a bit...I had to trim a lot.

 

My hatred for the Toyota Sienna continues.

Friend is a Toyota Mechanic and a 2015 Sienna came in with a bad leak. The oil pump seal and o-ring has already failed.

 

Trimming eh? I have done the pinch weld mod. Have you had to cut other items?

 

Eh, it happens, better now than later when all it's maintenance has been neglected.

 

I’d expect it at a higher mileage and older year range. But the 2015 is only a few years old. Hell the 2000 E320 didn’t start leaking AFT until two years ago and almost 300k miles.

 

This is what the warranty is for though, 2015, no way it's drivetrain warranty is done yet.

 

@Jamesboy2233

 

I had to cut my flares a bit at the back corner and fold the pinch weld back as far as it could go, and I still rub when stuffed. But my wheel offset is not ideal

I also need to play with the caster settings on my SPC uca's

 

Print it on canvas and frame it on the wall
