1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

The bed bolts? The t55s? They hold the bed down



(I’ve only down a few 1st gen frames... but those definitely hold the bed down..)

 

My bed came off with bolts from underneath 17mm or 19mm

 

Down to what, they don't have to be removed to remove the entire bed.

 

I suppose I could go find that exploded diagram of the truck... But that's a lot of work

 

hmm. maybe im losing my mind. could be.. its been 3 years since ive done a 1st gen bed. but i could of sworn the t55s are all that hold the bed down (plus the one bolt for the filer neck.)

 

I didn’t even know there were bolts in the bed

 

There’s six(or 4?) bolts you have to get under the bed

 

On second gens the t55s hold it down. On a first gen they're all done from below

 

well i'll be damned.. yall right. its bolted from the bottom.. shows ive done too many second gens.

 

my tundra was the 8 t55s and pulled right off.

 

It just wanted to be scratched on the ears. They love that.

 

I think it’s funny

 

@Kwikvette i finally pealed off those stickers and put lights in

 

It moved. It finally moved. Got it up to 38mph driving around the block. Transmission seems loud to me but I haven't installed the console or boots yet.

Now I just need to replace the mechanical speed sensor with an electrical one I have and the truck is good to go. Oh and install the new parking brake. Should be like $50/month to insure according to a quote I got.

Dude that's legit!

Now post a video of it rock crawling and post it in the 3rd gen section telling them how your 2nd gen off roads better

 

Man I wish I could insure my truck for $50 lol. I think I have a pretty good rate for CA though at $118/month...my deductible is high though. Which isn't really a big deal though when you have a 14 year old vehicle.

I have zero claims or tickets on my record too and that's the best rate I can get, except I'll probably be switching to USAA soon...supposedly they can get me a better one.

 

I have USAA. This flatbed is only liability meanwhile I want to say my double cab is a bit over $100 with USAA. Being under 25 and male even with a clean driving record is depressing when it comes to this stuff.

 

If you can get USAA, get it.

I just looked up what I pay; before getting rid of the 2010 C6 Corvette it was costing roughly $75/mo. with 2 drivers (my girl and I).

The 5.0 is at $83/mo. with 2 drivers, and the Tacoma is at $53/mo. with 2 drivers.

Full coverage on all vehicles at $500 collision deductible on both, $50 comprehensive on the Tacoma with $0 on the 5.0; the Z06 is non-op and uninsured and so is the C4.

 

Yeah, age is a big factor in insurance rates. Young people get reamed hard with higher rates even with clean records. I know a girl who's ~25 and paying almost $400 a month with a $1000 deductible. She has a couple at-fault claims though. I couldn't imaging paying that much for freakin insurance every month.
