1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

yeah I doubt they would actually shoot them, but who knows. Like what road says it probably would cause a shit storm if they did shoot at that many people. Maybe just take one or two out and hope that scares the rest back to their hippy vans

 

Or they could throw tear gas canisters filled with some kind of dysphoric drug like belladonna nightshade or salvia...give all the conspiracy nuts an awful hallucinogenic trip where they see the aliens but get scared shitless and run away

 

But the army green doesnt appear to be a metallic or anything. Just another satin esque paint like the quicksand or cement.

Id love if theyd bring back the navy blue pearl from the pickups, radiant red, a metallic maroon color, and a metallic brown/chocolate. And just for kicks, Id like to see what Tonka yellow would look like too.

 

I see one of those new blue 3rd gens in my neighborhood and it's actually grown on me a lot, not that bright ass vibrant blue but the more subdued one...forget what it's called. Cobalt I think. Looks good in person and I'm not usually a fan of blue on Tacomas unless it's dark

this one

 

2nd gens had a dark blue like that, I like it. Problem is...blue and Toyotas have never really done well over time. Seems that blue is always the color that starts to fade the worst in the shortest time period. Red too, which I was worried about but even having parked my truck outside for 3 years in SoCal sun I have yet to see any paint fade on it. I wash/wax it regularly though

 

Nautical blue is pretty close to the blue pearl thats on the 92. Real good looking color. Not a fan of any of the current blues they offer on the tacos. Cavalry looks ok, but wont age well me thinks.

 

Ah yeah that's the one, calvary blue....cobalt is the one that's way too vibrant for my taste

 

I just figured it was one of those colors that doesn't mix well with direct sunlight over time, I don't really know shit about paint so I can't say for sure. But it's weird that it's prevalent in pretty much every gen thus far, we'll see how the blue 3rd gens hold up I guess

 

I really like the pastel looking colors that Subaru has been doing lately. Even makes orange look good which is a color I normally hate seeing on most cars lol

 

Same. My wife would never go for it though lol. But the pastel green is my favorite and the one I'd pick...if I could afford to buy a new Subaru that is haha

 

audiophiles -

I'm going to order a single DIN for the taco so I can take advantage of the Paranoid Fab switch panel which showed up today. This one has been sitting in my cart,

there is also the Sony

and the Alpine

Not sure which to go with. Pioneer, Sony, Alpine? Stock speakers enough or will they sound like crap with the aftermarket radio? If so, suggestions on speakers?

thx

 

I think I did mention it too, at least I better have, lol. One of most common symptoms of a failing electrical motor is run short time then stop and cool off and then run again etc.
Either way the important part is the central air is up and running. It's great to hear you're not suffering this heat without AC anymore

 

Haha what the F....I'm ordering the stake nut for my carrier bearing off Amazon, it's not Prime but it comes with free shipping from the seller (some Toyota parts warehouse on the east coast).

My shipping options are - Free, expected Aug 23rd

or

$54 to have it shipped here by Aug 22nd

What the hell haha...it's a tiny little stake nut.

 

Is that a FrontRunner bed rack? Did I know that before? Freaking sweet and nice and light high quality! Was this what you were referencing a couple weeks ago when you mentioned you had something coming on the slow boat?

 

I have this one cause its not flashy at all, and doesnt have any non necessary lighting. https://www.crutchfield.com/p_158N5300BT/Sony-MEX-N5300BT.html?skipvs=T


Looks near oem, and my stock speakers sound fine with it.

 

That was the original color of the 60 I owned. It was repainted a lighter beige though. But I like that crap brown too. Actually looks really good on the 60 series. Must be the era/vintage or something

 

sometimes its best to not question/ask... hahaha nice!

 

The nut was $1.86.

 

Id call your local dealer and pay a bit extra (maybe $4 tops) and have it in a few days if they dont already have one on the shelf.

If its shipping through McGeorge Toyota in VA, they take forever to process orders.

 

The only reference I see on the site for the 90201-25006 washers are in this thread. The TSB was an image and I can't find it in a search.
