1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

She's in Santa Fe now? I've never been but have wanted to check it out, hear it's a cool place

 

dude, I have been preaching this forever on here - be prepared no matter what the circumstances. If you don't have 1-2 weeks of supplies ready to easily toss in the tacoma, need to get that organized.

 

I prefer vehicles that don't have downstream sensors nowadays.

 

She says it’s nice. But would never live there

 

Your guys' fuel lasts like 10mins so unless you think it's happening this week I wouldn't fill em haha

 

I basically prepare like that for every wheeling /camping trip so I think we'd be okay, my camping tote is full of water and food supplies (freeze dried meals etc). Only thing I don't typically keep on hand is extra fuel but I think I should

 

Pretty much exactly why I don't lol

 

Yeah it's still the desert, no thanks

 

haha seriously. No, the tacoma is running like a champ. The only thing I need to do is replace the lower (and might as well do upper) radiator hose clamps. The lower has lost a little tension I guess, there is just a little bit of a leak enough to cause some of that crusty pink stuff around the end of the hose.

 

@Area51Runner
might i ask what your rope hooks are looking like all these years later?
been getting buncha grief lately about my hooks I am trying to do what my truck wants me to do

 

they look like 17 year old rope hooks on a NorCal taco --

 

spray in liner?

 

nope. drop in toyota liner - i'm not picky

 

that is a good liner! if i recall correctly they did not have a toyota over the rail liner for me so fitted me with something else but now its on the way out

 

When I drove it off the lot in 2002 I had them put in an over-the-rail toyota liner. When I put a shell on in a couple of years ago, that liner went out and a under the rail toyota liner went in. Despite the typical feedback of the liner scratching the hell out of the paint, I only had a few scuff marks in the bed and along the rails.

 

i have major scuff marks and naked Toyota steel I found under mine lol
but its very clean only a few stray crusty marks, loads of snow and ice piled high back there over many winters and not bad under there

 

That is indeed way more rednecky. I like it.

Remind me not to take you on any trails with that death trap waiting to arc out. With the amount of money you've put into your rig you'd think you'd have spent 60 bucks for a battery box already. Ballistic Fab makes a good one. It's what I'm running. The bolt holes don't fit the fender well but a few new holes and a few new bolts solves that problem pretty quickly.

 

Does it make me a bad person because I enjoyed watching the Douglas county sheriff's write parking tickets on tourist cars.

 

Reminds me a saw a latest gen Rav4 with little lift and brush bar with winch installed and roof rack and just looked sooo weighed down.... That one looks pretty slick

 

I should get an aftermarket one yeah. I got rid of my metal oem tie down because it did arc out, kept getting loose and hitting the terminals. The rubber holds it in place far better than the oem one did and it hasn't slid around at all on me since then.

What brand is that one in the photo?
