1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I built mine, and you wont see me towing a trailer with it.

 

He's supposed to be saying

SPHERICAL

 

Have more faith in your work, unless you didn't reinforce well, then dont have false faith haha

 

I searched about one and a half years for an A340F alongside my conversion parts. I called almost every specialty Toyota scrapper, as well as any junkyard with a Tacoma I could find on car-part with a few hundred mile radius. Additionally I scoured eBay, Craigslist, and this forum.

I created a spreadsheet with the prices for each transmission, the mileage, as well as factored in “sold” prices that can be found.

The average price for a complete A340F without the ETCS-I is roughly $500. I’ve seen them range from $200 all the way up to $1,000+ for rebuilt or low mileage units.

$400-500 is the sweetspot for a complete A340F, I feel like that guy is charging a premium since he’s including a partial engine harness which is totally unnecessary.

 

Not worth it to me. I’m happy with the stock setup, I even got rear ended and didn’t have a single scratch.

 

So you're selling the bumper you bought and never assembled? The stock bumper is kinda lame, it folds pretty easily but I suppose it's nice in a just change it out kinda way. I changed mine twice.

 

I have faith. But I wont be the one getting hurt when my trailer comes unhooked at 75mph lol.

 

That just sounds like negligence, you have to at least lock it on the ball haha

 

To my knowledge it's the only front bumper that works with the airbag sensors so probably, ya

 

Front bumper, not rear bumper. I don’t have an aftermarket rear bumper.

 

Also, if I need to tow I have access to a 2nd gen with mo powah. Or I will again in a month lol.

 

Soo what are you selling that Relentless for?

 

The airbag sensors are mounted on the inner fender, they're inertia based. I think any significant hit will make em go off.

For some reason I thought you bought a full set.

 

I’ll have to think about it, It’s definitely going together one day but if a good enough offer comes through I’ll consider it.

 

I wouldn’t be afraid to tow stuff with a well reinforced receiver, if I ever get a bed made im gonna box the frame and put a receiver back there. Nice and high and out of the way

 

The guy I bought it from did have a full set but someone beat me to it.

 

So...more than what you paid for it I assume

 

Yeah after seeing some of bullshit Curt and Uhaul spit out I don't see why literally anyone couldn't make something much more stout.

 

Not all years had those sensors in the fenders, I remember seeing early 3rd Gen 4Runners without it, and some with them present.

Pretty obvious with the glaring neon Yellow wires.
