1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

The Honda is back in my garage again. He wants me to change the other three heater hoses.

 

Isn't that the way is always goes? Seems like they start sympathizing with others like some kind of critter. LOL

 

Yeah, that's the Paint shop build sheet. Each shop has it's own "manifest" (multiple in Assy) that is used by team members to select parts and to know what actions to take. That body number should match your radiator support stamped number,.... but it's always possible someone threw that paper in the wrong truck instead of in the trash, like they should have. But it is the right cab type and engine for your truck, so probably it. It should have been removed just before it left the paint shop.
That string that starts with UCK...is the katashiki. It tells engine, frame/cab size, trim level, drive train, destination package (if any)etc. Not paint color, int color, int options, etc. Just the main features. That's why th manifests are needed in each shop. "Tundra 800N" is project code from before model launch. 872 is Paints sequence number and of course 1E3 is the ext, no clear coat..

 

Hmm. Neat.

 

Now you just need some Shanghai twins

 

Anyone selling the intake tube for the factory box

 

3RZ 3RZ 3RZ. Not a big deal for most but for a 22r it is.

You can have it. Although it will be mostly gutted. I'm going to have to ditch the chassis as well. 4x4 with 4.56 and chevy leaf.

 

I plan to make a crawler i dont need interior lol

 

Just missed out on a guy selling his 97 that was losing compression on his 3rz. Black 4x4 extra cab in decent shape for 1k.

 

Just smog it then transfer the title to me before to take it apart so i can non op it

 

It could be fun

 

dammit @Kwikvette ... stop showing these pics! you're making me all antsy now to hunt down a 2nd 1st gen and mod out to the rugged look you have going on while still trying to maintain a sharp bad-ass local unicorn highway/pavement truck that can still plow through any blizzard that mother nature throws at it
i am probably way too old now to even think of starting an adventure taco like yours

 

got some pics of it?

 

Nope, it was taken down hours after it posted.

 

....

been noticing a very strange odor in my engine compartment for about a month, trying to diagnose it
does the red Toyota coolant emit a weird odor when hot or anything?
i have a small leak in upper hose

 

Coolant smells like....coolant. Kind of sweet smelling I suppose

 

Burning oil, burning PS fluid or burning rodent maybe.

 

maybe rotten dirt and rock dust picked up from an offroad adventure of sorts in Wisconsin last month? ... perhaps?
my engine compartment was literally caked with this crap all over and i am still trying to thoroughly clean it all out
it just seems to be a worse odor when everything is hot in there

 

oil looks good at 4k miles since last changed
rodent is possibilty, its happened before!

even when its hot at operating temp?
