1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I always wondered the same thing about your avatar.

 

@eon_blue beats the shit out of his truck though lol, not surprised if he mangled some of the mounts or something. I doubt you'd have an issue.

 

Oh shit I remember those, that was a while ago

 

I'll find something eventually. Too many expenses right now especially with the unexpected regear.

 

No, aftermarket panels often need some massaging to fit even half as good as an OEM one. Same thing with fiberglass. Expect to take a cheap body panel to a body shop to get the fitup right

 

Why? Were bigger tires "unexpected"?

 

The issue with the cheap non OEM fenders is they don't line up 100%. Virtually every review you read about them online says as much. Mine bolted up fine but the gap between it and the hood is slightly larger than on the other side (OEM). Common issue with aftermarket body panels

The only real 'issue' I had with it was color matching it

 

Unexpected as in an opportunity too good to pass up came up. I'm paying basically $600 for an entire 4.88 re-gear and e-locker addition.

 

What's this about CAPA certified body panels?

 

Ah. So uh, when are you gonna put all this stuff to the test?

 

Next time @eon_blue plans a wheeling trip, or when Miguel finishes his van.

 

He this his slightly larger the stock tires are to big for his 4.30 gears

 

If you can find a CAPA one then go that route. CAPA certified is what body shops use when they use aftermarket body parts. Mine wasnt CAPA, the only CAPA one I could find was on Rock Auto and they wouldn't ship it to CA


No idea how much better it is though in real life...just heard that they're a better bet

 

Does that include the e locker axle housing?




Still a killer deal though

 

Couldve solved that with a 3rd pedal install.

 

The hell you mean they won't ship to CA?

They probably didn't want to be Prop 65 compliant.

 

Ya it was the stupid prop 65 thing

 

But he plans trips all the time. He just doesn’t invite us

 

Ditto. @Speedytech7 whats the scoop on the floaty guy?

 

It does actually, I'm waiting for it to be delivered. I didn't realize I couldn't reuse my stock axle shafts though, but I'll grab them off a Limited 4Runner. No one cares about the axle shafts, only the third member.
