1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Yup. Knowledge is power! Personally I’ll run only oem for the balljoints. on these trucks. My oems lasted 280k. That’s pretty impressive. My corolla is still on its originals at 760k

 

Dang, most American cars would be on their fourth set of control arms by then lol.

 

My dream Caddy is a 62 or 63 Coupe DeVille. I fell in love with them when I worked at the Cadillac junkyard. I could never afford one though, that's a hell of an expensive project car! But I still wish. That and a 66 El Camino.





Although I love the color green, just not on almost all cars. But you get the idea.


Minus the hood scoop.

 

@Frontier Man 2500 and vans yours. Cut you a deal 3500$ you get a van,5lug and a frame

 

only thing ive replaced is the struts and both front wheel bearings on the suspension
one water pump
2 alternators (one was just because the 1st replacement was noisy)
valve cover gasket
5 timing chain tensioner o rings (fuckers like to leak alot...)
and 1 charcoal canister


that damn cars amazing

 

hell original condenser and radiator even after 2 front end accidents! The freon has never been touched and she still blows ice cold

 

Yeah, especially on these tacos as well, just the design of it requires it to be a high quality ball joint. And if you use oem it should last very long. The design wasn't built for a lesser spec ball joint to be able to be successfully used there. But some do get good results with aftermarket but it's a bit of luck I'd imagine

 

Oh that eggshell white is beauuuuuuutiful

 

I'd pimp either of those aaaaaalll day long damn

 

Yep, that 62 is peeeerfect! I'd take it just like that!

 

Wtf is that bumper

 

Pretty sure the timing chain o ring thing is leaking on my sisters rav4. The bottom of the timing cover always looks wet. Uses about a quart every 5k.

 

Looks like it needs a bbq grill mounted to it too!

 

Eh. Might be. They suck to replace on a rav. Have to remove the intake manifold.

 

Approach angle is fucked cause of it. Needs a arb

 

Corolla started leaking oil out of the head gasket. So next year for the 800k mark I might just finally rebuild the motor on a budget

 

No grill guard and thats would be hot

 

2jz swap

 

That is the 40 but in new threads... I'd love to see one up close and drive it man
How about this clone, just more seats, 5 speed, and OEM lockers front and read

I think shes gonna be looking for a new ride in a year or so, so adding oil whenever needed is fine enough. Cars only got 120k on it, kinda sad that it uses that much oil considering how fun it is to drive. If I didnt need a truck, Id seriously consider a Rav.
