1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

But dont you wanna go through that process agian

 

I definitely need to do more research. I wish I could do the earlier Tacoma washer reservoir but I don't really want to delete my ABS stuff... (even though it doesn't currently work )

 

Yeah I looked into deleting ABS. Too much work for me.

@Blackdawg has a right up about what he did. Made his own tank out of pvc pipe. It’s pretty cool. Pretty sure it was him

 

Yep in Frankenstein's build.

I ripped out the abs. In retrospect putting a kill switch in would have been better probably

 

How was the trip? Igors bushing make it?

 

Trip was great. Was a good trip to not have a perfect truck. Took it easy on Igor. Elephant hill sure was beat up but no issues even with a pretty much stock 3rd gen.

Had a blast. Hiked like 25miles. Weather was good till last day.

Parts didn't show up though so have to go to Powell next weekend to have a welder for cam tabs gussets.

Oddly drove better headed north than when we went South on the highway. Hard braking is sketch right now though haha new lcas will fix that. Gonna check my slip joint maybe too as I think my TAC welds broke.

 

is the neck all cracked up?

 

1st times to learn, 2nd times to do it right

 

I actually tried doing that a few nights ago and it went....terribly.

I need to remove all the black paint off them first lol.

 

Why would you have to remove the rear mud flaps?

I have bent them backward a few times coming off of some big rocks but they haven't broken off yet, just bend back into place. Dunno how many more times they'll be able to handle that though

 

lol pictures? I'm starting to think if I want to re-paint these, going to have to do it right this time and sand em' down.

 

No pics, I was dumb and thought I could do it after work before the sun went down...I've repainted them black a few times really quickly but it's easy when you're just repainting them the same color (especially black).

I masked off the wheel and sprayed it with the bronze wheel paint and it all just ran right off. Soaked it up with a roll of shop towels, sanded down the wheel and tried again but the same thing happened, although not as bad. I need to get all the old paint off first and really sand them down for it to stick. Gonna be a day long project at least.

 

No its basically new. Tank is 3 years old

 

Get them powder coated bronze

 

I refuse to powder coat anything on my truck, seems like a big waste of money unless it's a street only rig.

edit: jokes on me, my roof rack is powder coated.

 

I tore mine off haha, self tapped them back on and then tore back off, now they’re gone

 

Guess I'm just lucky they haven't gotten ripped off yet, that would suck since you have to have them on in CA if it's a street legal truck

 

nope - its either blacked out or keeping them hyper silver. now if you want to foot the bill....

 

what about the bumper?

 

I'm sure powder coat holds up better than rattle can but I can't imagine it would be immune to rock chips, especially on the wheels
