1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Way back when I was looking at getting a Tacoma, I test drove a base model 4cyl 3rd gen (was the only new Tacoma that was close to my budget). Was a double cab too, I didn't notice anything bad about the auto trans but holy hell was it a slug. Way too heavy of a truck for a 4banger.

Only reason I test drove it was to get a feel for the interior since they didn't have any manuals to test drive there.

 

The 4cyl has been the same for years. its the v6 auto that gets the hate.

 

Yeah but still, that engine doesn't belong in a truck of that size. 1st gen sure, but I wouldn't get a 2nd/3rd gen with the 4 banger. Unless it was a 2nd gen regular cab

 

I drove a V6 2nd gen the other day, that gave me some bad thoughts.

 

They got some powa

 

I just drove it down a dirt road, the comfort and over all feel was attractive

 

Was it a trd? The base model seats are better than the trd seats, imo. My leg goes numb when I drive my dads. Didnt happen when I drove my buddies base model for several hours.

 

Yeah, base as far as I know.

I'll own one some day, DCLB or nothing.

 

I want to drive a supercharged 2nd gen, that'd be fun

 

tell them its your birthday and get you into a TRD PRO for the weekend

 

I like access cab trucks. Never cared for the look of double cab trucks, except on the 1st gens. I get that their more utilitarian but, theyre still ugly.

 

A 2nd Gen SC DCLB SAS'd truck = goals.

 

They look silly on stock tires but with a little lift and bigger tires I think they look much more proportional

 

the stock v6 is pretty powerful on its own. Especially in a 6 speed.

 

I've only driven one back when I was looking, it was a 6 speed manual but had 33s and a bunch of aftermarket stuff so I don't know if I got a good feel of what it's really like

 

I dunno if your going for race truck or rock crawler there man.

 

Snow machine

 

Ive always wanted to replicate this 2nd gen 5 lug. No use for it on the east coast, but if I have that kinda money to drop into a truck, I wouldnt care lol

 

AEM Methanol bung welded into place.

 

You're right. Not a 2nd gen.
What I really wanted was what that one dude just scored.
2wd, 5 lug, manual trans, v6 and the blower.... What a helluva score he found
