1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Is that supposed to be a dibs

 

Apparently ARB is the only one touting their bumper as 100% air bag compliant/functional. If that sort of thing matters. I've always been partial to the ARB - it was the first one I saw on the first gen and damn if its not one solid chunk of armor.

Don't know enough about the meth setup...

 

Damn, jealous...

 

more $$$

 

I've always like the ARB too, it's got that OG utilitarian offroad look that works on 1st gens (2nd and 3rd not so much). I do think there are a couple better looking ones like the Relentless Predator but it's damn near double the cost, and like you said the ARB is the only one that works with the airbag sensor that I know of.

 

Yeah dibs

 

Only matters for newer trucks

 

Oh hell yeah lol, I bought it for nearly a grand. I'm keeping the fuel pump it came with but definitely would sell the rest for more than 100 haha

 

Ill give you a few cases of natties

 

perhaps interrupted by the station attendant or local law enforcement? who knows.

 

from wheelers:

One part about that though which is false - not sure if I can say they are 'easy' to install... lol

 

1st gen tacos only have 2 air bag sensors up front mount about mid way in the engine bay and then the center one behind the dash. The bumper on our trucks have nothing to do with airbags vs newer cars that have sensors in the bumpers

Should of asked for help. I have a hoist and a pallet jack that you could of used to help hold the bumper up while getting it on

 

Bunch of tylers if you ask me

 

That’s right. The Tacoma used an inertial airbag computer up to around 2000-2001ish. After that they switched to actual sensors in the fenders of the truck.

I’d say for 1995-2001 airbag compliance doesn’t really matter.

 

well this heater is a 75 gallon.

 

you're starting to 'sound' like tyler but thx for the explanation

just going off what arb talks about under their 1st gen product info, but hey - as long as the damn thing deploys if it has too and doesn't shred away with fragments...

 

Yeah but it wasnt old fish water

 

my 01 has the sensors in the fender.

the computer also has sensors to this day.. thats why after an accident they must be replaced.

 

Wonder how the airbag harnesses hold up after they’ve been deployed. I’ve seen airbag squibs at the steering wheel completely melted from deploying.

 

My 04 has sensors too. But they arnt in fenders. They are in the engine bay. Ones like under the battery other is under the intake
