1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

yeah the main eyes with the military wrap are the ones that give me the most trouble. But, ever since I finally put the right silicone based grease in them they've been a lot better. No more clunks at least

 

When I work on my truck more and more, sometimes I just want to rip shit out and go custom IE 3 link rear, SAS front etc lol but then I remember this is just a camping truck.

 

i am just glad mine did not break on those northern Wisconsin rocks!!

i stood in the pouring rain for maybe an hour waiting to change clothes so I did not have to rough it sleeping in sopping wet clothes

 

Just a camping truck for now, but who knows what the future holds haha..should've seen my plans for my truck when I first joined this site, keep it mostly stock with minimal lift for easy trails. This place definitely changed that

I have greaseable bolts in the shackles and it helps some, but they're still creaky. Just the nature of the beast, now that my AC finally works I can drive with my windows up and ignore most of the sounds that used to irritate me haha.

 

@Kwikvette I'm wondering now if the e-brake cable has something to do with the transmission difference auto vs manual...hm

I'm not curious enough to dig deeper but that's my verdict lol.

 

@GQ7227 you've got a manual IIRC.

Post a pic of your rear diff, especially if you've got a locker!

 

I don't think he does, his year was before the TRD package was offered but it was an add on option, so it's possible

 

My e brake cable goes across the top on the 99 and across the bottom on the 02

 

No fucking shit, you out on parole?

 

I have a piss test once a week

 

I know of ways around that

 

Looks like my 99 PreRunner setup.

 

No ankle bracelet tho?

That way we can still do Moab

 

I dunno man, the spin tests are pretty damn tough

 

Could be a 2001 and below thing since JKO's 02 is across and so is Eons 04

 

If I ever get another life sentence, just know I’ll be there

 

no locker, i recall pricing one out in 98 or 99 when the new trucks hit the lot and jealous they had that button but it was maybe $2500 to get that setup then iirc
back then i was making big payments on my truck at the time, almost double payments some months when I had the mega overtime
i just wanted the little button up there though it would not serve the purpose of keeping traction on the wet highway which woulda come in handy on several occasions!

 

I’ve been places
