1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

hope so! damnit. better not get in my way of birthday/graduation activities for the GF and me

 

I pretty much knew this was going to happen, but I was really hoping it wouldn’t

 

I'm not your GF but I can help you celebrate

 

Hawt

 

@Running Man (or anybody else)

do you know what the difference is with a late 90s T4R SR5 vs. Limited
and why the $7k difference on the MSRP?

 

No idea, you need to ask that question of Spiker Engineering whom designed the kit. I just installed it and it works great.

 

Impossibru!

 

Uh.... no

 

this stuff is looking real promising and am anxious to test it out when delivery arrives
was recommended to me by an old 3rd genner from Canada

yeah both of those were way way more $MSRP than my Tacoma with most options was!

 

I bet the installation instructions are very good. I love the instructions for the Scanguage holder. So well documented.

 

Looks like a nice tool..

 

its a damned expensive tool!
was marked down $90 if i also got a gallon pail of the stuff in a bundle
if i don't like the product i suppose it can also be used to apply FF with the compressor

 

Who is the local 1st gen guru who can assist with a boatload of questions that I’m sure are commonplace 1st gen issues/upgrades (being that I’m too lazy to research tirelessly)?
I came from the 3rd gen 4R life and bought a double cab to replace it

 

Ask away

 

i do not know a thing about double cab but i think they look better with a cap!

the 4R looks sweet, what happened to it
what model year is it

 

They are very well written, better than most I have seen for anything else.

 

how important are the gas tanks straps?
Mine had a frame replacement this year and only had 1 replaced (looks like there should be two)

Is there a fix for the finicky done light?
Mine had a LED which was dim and I didn’t want to modify so I swapped to a standard bulb and the manual switch works but the door open setting only work for rear doors Intermittently. Is this an issue with the sensors on each individual door?
Are the lower ball joints as dangerous on these as the 4Runner? They look like a different design.
Would you HID retrofit aftermarket head light assemblies?
Is there a good thread describing rear suspension setup for these trucks like selecting a leaf spring setup, pinion angle, etc?

 

So you have the same questions as the noobs before you. Those topics are like weekly recurring threads, so just looking back even only a week, let alone a search, will net you all you need to know. All of it.
But I saw the knucklehead above told you to ask away, so yeah
