1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

The Hardbody came after this one...



I used to wish I had the Hardbody, but now I wish I had the white truck back...

-Mike "Oh well, I have a 1st gen "

 

Datsun 720, I miss those. First diesel minitruck in the states. The 620 is still the best looking with that muscle car front end

 

Whatever mine was, it had a 4 cylinder gas engine and eight spark plugs...

-Mike

 

I remember those, dual spark 4 bangers, good little engine.

 

I thought Mercedes was the only one guilty of the stupid two spark plugs per cylinder. I did plugs and wires on a 2000 E320 v6 and I had to change 12 spark plugs.

 

Know the feeling, my first pickup was a 94 hardbody 4 cyl 4x4 manual reg cab, no options (unless power steering was an option). I bought in 2001 with 30k miles. My pops dailies it to this day. Fantastically reliable truck. Requires very little maintenance. When he gets to be too old for the stick I might have to buy it back off of him. Been with us for almost 20 years wow

 

Hmm I'll look into that thanks man. Makes sense since its definitely coming from the rear but I can't find anything.

 

First one done, they flare up more than I'd like but don't look terrible and they'll get the job done, at least until I can justify $500 Bushwhackers

 

Oh the rear? Yeah good call crow. Could be a broken spring or something in there

 

Back in 95ish high school buddy had a 92 2wd single cab and we hammered that thing and it never stopped going. Unreal. Poor vehicles that high school kids drive

 

Welp I'm annoyed. My new sidearm doesn't cycle correctly so I need to send to Remington

 

I kind of want to buy one to drop my 1UZ into and DD

 

Nah fuck 37s, I don't anticipate making the swap anymore lol

If I did I would be going solid axle

 

I'm actually tubbing the cab enough to fit 37s but if I do make the jump in the future I'll have to cut the cab mount even more

 

Damn bro sick ride

 

Just sas on 40s

 

too mainstream
