1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

This is new.. Just found it the other night. I managed to fix a big leak last summer that drained on the outer side of the passenger floor board that you can see in this picture. The new leak is closer to transmission hump.

 

I’ll check the paper again but I’m pretty sure it says 3. Because I don’t have the pro rate thing.

 

so far all i have found is just surface stuff and creepers, blasts right off!

but, i need the bed and bumper removed (put on new rear shocks while that is off)
the fuel tank dropped
various areas blasted with glass bead or aluminum oxide media, afterblast zinc phosphate coating
extreme primer, scuffed, extreme chassis paint with 3x chip protection for topcoat
then I still need to figure out what the heck is going on inside of it, clean and internal frame coat Eastwood style,

I don't believe anything needs welded so that is very VERY good news!
then re-install fuel tank, re-attach bed, possibly need new rubber bushings for that (not sure yet)

the list goes on and on and probably some things on the checklist i have overlooked as of now
its a big project for an old mid west tacoma

 

@BTB

 

so you are NOT 50 years old

 

Was that the common 'evap drain is plugged or missing' scenario?

 

Huge battery. I had to stack some washers because it’s so tall.

 

A dude just posted some good info you prolly would be looking for on that 3rd gen rust thread

 

thanks, i have not checked my alerts!

 

That is a GX460, it's chassis and running gear are almost identical with Land Cruiser Prado, the 4runner, and the Hilux Surf. We only see the 460 and the 4runner here in the states though
Edit: I'm wrong! It's a 200 series, so a LX570 or a Land Cruiser.

 

To fix that leak, I got into the channel and resealed the cowl seams.

 

Yeah just seemed like someone with some good knowledge and experience with that crap. We don't have a whole lot of experience with that stuff that shall not be named here in the BS thread

 

Oh it was the cowl seam deal. Okay. So now you have a different...., well I guess we don't know that yet, but you have a leak more in the center? Like behind the dash at the floor?

 

Testing after sealing the cowl seams worked last summer. I suspect this is something different. The bad part is that I've already winterized the sprinkler system's water line where I get water for the work in the driveway. I need to take it apart in the driveway again and be able to douse it with water.

Winter sucks!

 

Were you able to determine the manufacture date?

 

That's it.

 

Gonna be a pro at taking that thing apart. You're gonna know it inside and out and never wanna get rid of it. I can already tell

 

This thread should go over well on tw lol

I saw your post on the thread. I haven’t, I just put the date I installed it. I assume it’s been manufactured within the last few months, as is the other batteries I’d see in the store.
