1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Crazy how the 4th gen T4R can be found cheaper than the 1st gen Tacos around here. Hate that they are auto but I think that's what I'll end up going with.

 

Take 2 bottle Jack's between the frame and tire crank them out as much as you can then wack the rim with a dead blow hammer. I had the same problem a few years ago.

 

i am going to need to remove the fuel tank from my truck in the spring
do you foresee any problems getting it off and more importantly, back on properly!

i have not yet looked around on TW for somebody that has done this already for tips and pointers

 

failed load test... oh well.

 

Tanks pretty easy to drop. Remove the plastic trim behind the fuel door first. Unbolt the skid plate 4 bolts. Loosen the rear strap bolt on the frame side. Support the tank, especially if you have a lot of gas in it. Pull the retainer clip and pin out of the strap on the cross member. Lower the tank slowly till you can reach the pump wire harness unplug and lower the rest of the way. Should only take about 30 minutes unless all your bolts are seezed.

 

i should mention the bed will be off so it could be easier?

 

Yeah that will make it 100 times easier.

 

and will it be able to just sit on the ground or somewhere away from the frame rail without unhooking the fuel lines?

pretty sure i can unstrap it just not sure about the fuel lines

 

All disc everything

 

And why you staying ifs again?

 

Fuel lines are not to complicated.

 

I haven't broken any CVs or hubs yet

 

I never said I was staying or not

 

thanks,
hopefully i don't have a surprise of corrosion underneath there like at the fuel filter
if i do i can probably put in new lines fairly easily
more to come in the spring when the weather gets warmer for extended periods

1 fuel line and 2 vacuum lines?

 

i admit to having hosed a TON of salty sloppy shit into that area over the decades so it will be a mystery

 

@Sperrunner Just bought the 12.0 + 8.0 battery deal. Walked right back in & returned the 8.0. It prints on the receipt, can either get $107 back for the 12.0 or $91 for 8.0.

 

I tried to buy one today and they had no 12.0.

I want both batteries lol. I was even trying to talk @Kwikvette into buying the deal and trade him the 8 for the 12 lol

 

Stock they look kinda soccer mom. But built they look good

 

Don't need it!
