1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I keep hearing about this 5 ton

 

So do we

 

You mentioned it the other day and I didn't say shit..but being that we're all at the lunch table, I want to see this shit

 

@Kwikvette, do you have the 3.4?

oh happy birthday as well, i read that earlier

 

Anyone ever seen these skid plate bolts?

Are both original or are the pointed ones an imposter?

I cant tell as I never took my own skid plates off before

Took off 2003 TRD

pointed one was a 1/2" socket and the flange bolt was 12 or 13 MM...

There were 7 total...and the three pointed ones were in random places so I am assuming they are either imposters or are the 3 front most bolts near the radiator

I plan on replacing them but want to make sure the flat ended ones should be all the bolts or if I need both

TIA

do you have pics of your TB cover bolts, i just put new ones in mine today (top 4 at least) but they seem to be a different color than the humidity weathered ones i took out that came with the truck, i need to get a camera for my birthday, me thinks

 

Me?...I can check but I'd have to text you a pic.

Damn wifi is slow as shit to upload a pic to the forum

 

It's the camera lol

 

I'm sure that's what you told her LOL

 

you can tell me if they are black or silvery or brass color, that could help
i cannot tell what color the originals are they are weathered so bad

just assuming here that CA has no humidity problems in the engine compartment?

 

I never sent those pictures. I just send pics of a platypus

 

several of my skid plate bolts were lost at some point plus one somewhere broke i think
just cannot trust any paid help to do the job right anymore

 

All bolts on/around the throttle body are silver.

 

Could it be?

 

the TB cover?

Amanda at Camelback told me at some point Toyota changed the radiator hose clamps from silver to black

 

Fuck you guys I'm going to bed lol

 

and here we go

 

I need to pull the tire swingout off to sand and paint it, but goddamn I'm feeling lazy. I wonder if beer will help
