1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Hehe

 

Van goals

 

We fortunately had been saving for it so most of it was paid on the spot. I think the only thing we charged (mainly for the cash back - thx costco travel) - the honeymoon.

 

On another note i saw some van dude say he gets 12” of travel on the stock link setup in his van. Using ford areostar springs and some long shocks

 

How do the shocks mount, I have tons of spare shocks I'm doing nothing with

Rather get em off to someone who can use em

 

We had to pay for the whole thing ourselves and luckily kept it at a fraction of the cost of the average wedding, but still not a cheap thing to pay for out of pocket all at once.

Opened up a new card with good rewards and no interest for 18 months so we can pay it off before that kicks in.

Our honeymoon gift $$ ended up going toward the credit card debt haha. Figure it's better to wait and go on a trip when we're more financially comfortable than rack up more debt right after the wedding.

 

Nothing a 1st gen tacoma runs. Though im sure the rears can be easy modified

 

Look like second gen rear shocks, those are cheap. Pin mount top and ring mount bottom

 

Yeah thats what I thinking. Probably pick some 2nd gen stuff for test fitting then get QA1 stuff after I figure out the size. Or go crazy with some fox shocks lol.

 

Can't do coilovers with pin mounts. You would have to make a new mount system

 

Why would i do coil overs? I would keep the coils in the stock location

 

My wife and I had that same thought 6 years ago. We still haven't had a honeymoon. lol

 

I thought you were upgrading, hence QA1, if you're just getting QA1 shocks then I'd bark up other manufacturers trees cause QA1 doesn't really make valving for anything like this

 

But i mean qa1 has this

 

That's for something with an upper coil bucket already molded in

 

Qa1 makes dual adjustable shocks that you can tune.

Idk if fox or king will have anything that will fit the front. Im sure i can find tons of stuff for the rear

 

Yeah ik, guys do this on 5lugs

 

buddy of mine - he promised his wife the following year after the wedding they would do the Hawaii honeymoon. They have a 12 year old and an 11 year old. Finally went to Hawaii this year.

 

Yeah lol we joke about that happening. I mean we did take a week off after the wedding and camped/explored Big Sur since our wedding was up in the Santa Cruz redwoods, so we did have a "mini moon" or whatever they call it. But yeah I could see it being awhile before we actually do the real thing.

My parents never had a honey moon either and my mom always rubbed that in my dad's face lol. Now they're divorced...

Well that got depressing fast

 

Look for land cruiser 80 rear shocks, they're the same style as yours. What's the front like, king will make anything
