1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

son of a...I lost a LBJ boot dust cover yesterday. Or maybe before...just noticed it today. Was the one that had a broken ring where one of the bolts held on so I'm not surprised it finally let go.

I guess the older 1st gens run without them so it should be fine...probably pick up another one eventually.

 

Thank you for the explanation, I had never seen anyone do it on a taco so it perplexed me haha. IMO the rear on the 5 lug is soft as is so no clue why he changed it

 

There are a few people on here that have done it...TBH I haven't seen it on a 1st gen 4x4 but I know it's more popular with the 5 lug street trucks than 4wd ones, which is probably why we don't see it that often on here.

 

I've already got D3 filters on hand so I'll stick with those.

Both inner CV boots are completely torn, gunna have to fix those. And I confirmed the XREAS shocks are shot on all 4 corners. I'll ditch those when I do the lift and go with traditional shocks.

Also removed the POS hood insulation, I hate that shit. And removed the OEM running boards. Looks much better now, at least heading in the right direction. Noted that I have XREAS shit on the frame rails that will need to be removed to install sliders when I get to that point.

 

makes sense, thank you for that! IMO as a 5 lug guy I feel like a rear cage and some good springs would be better, will be the route I go if/when haha

 

5 lug on 33's lol

 

Perfect stance

 

Looks nice I won't lie. Guy said he had some janky things going on in order to fit the tires tho. If I go that big it'd be a shit load of cutting. Really like the look like you said, contemplating......

 

Rough day huh?

 

@Empty_Lord do you spray the rubber exhaust bushings with anything?

 

i have always wanted to see this group live, maybe i miss the boat idk

To make them easier to remove?

 

Silicon soray

 

Got a fun one at work today. This should be a good head gasket for my 1FZ.

 

Boo

 

Why spend money on a fur suit when you are already that hairy?

 

I don't wanna be an otter

 

It's a huge fucking gasket, apparently the company that Kenworth is buying from doesn't check em well tho so we go over em before they use em

 

In line 6
