1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Interesting.


I was poking around under my truck looking for ways to shove those horns in there. Looks like I can modify my lightbar brackets to push the bar forward enough to be able to mount the horns behind it using your method. Now I got a reason to use the tig welder Ive been considering selling.

 

Can you post a picture of the front of your truck?

 

Guess I'm rebuilding the Z's rear brake calipers myself. No one and I mean no one has rebuilt rear calipers for it.

Ordering all the replacement seals and pistons and getting a pair of used calipers from the junkyard.

 

Like the entire front? Or the lightbar area?

I’ll send em to you here too

 

Cant convert to disc brakes?

 

Both, I want a light bar in the 02’s bumper, just haven’t looked into it

 

Sweet. That sounds pretty fun actually. Take some pics of them torn down, etc

 

Yeah that’s my one gripe about first Gens. Not much room for accessories.

 

It has disc brakes, big vented ones. The calipers are just funky because they also have a bellcrank on them to use them as the parking brake as well

 

We shall see I suppose haha. Not really something I am looking forward to but I'll do my best impression of @turbodb and document things as I go

 

I gave up on trying to fit some in the 92. There is zero room for play in there. Like way less than the taco.

 

Venturing into the unknown is cool man. Especially if it's someone that's gonna do stuff right. I'm curious more than anything to see the calipers opened up and stuff. No biggie if you don't.

 

You can put them anywhere. I’ve had people hide them inside fenders.

 

Interesting exhaust exit

 

@Frontier Man
killer shot climbing that hill

 

It'll be a learning experience, mostly just square cut seals, the only parts I'm really worried about aren't the hydraulic bits but the weird parking brake lever portion that no one makes mention of in rebuilding. I don't even know if they reach into the fluid cavity or if there's a seal there.

Scroll to BR-13 here if you want to see what I'm up against

and no friggn crawl control feature either
wonder how mine would handle being an MT, i have not tried that type of incline, other than deepass snow on pavement

 

20" single row from super brite leds. I used the holes that go through the frame from top to bottom (I think theyre meant for brush guards, thats where my old one mounted) and just made some angle brackets out of aluminum.

 

Perfect, I was thinking about cutting the little plastic bits and stuffing it in there.


But I don’t even have it with me right now so it doesn’t matter
