1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Toyota did a recall I think. If the gasket was redone, its as good as any other 2nd gen with a 1GR in it. Same thing happened to the early 5vz engines.

 

Why do I torture myself... Yet another item(s) for the To-Do List

 

Did you order your ARB yet, that is, from a different vendor?

 

I really regret not going to that job fair that was in town

 

Fuuu...are those the ones from Daly City?

 

Dude I inquired on those and never got a reply back

 

Hopefully it works out a lot better this time around!

Just installed mine a few days ago.

 

The seller is a stand-up guy. Turned out he's a family member's co-worker. He said he was surprised that he didn't have any other inquiries. Yours must've slipped through the cracks. I did reach out to him a couple of hours after he listed it. He was out of town and came back yesterday or I would've picked them up sooner.

 

I think Ive seen about 7-8 of those in junkyards this weekend. They are the best oem wheel imo. Thought of grabbing one for my spare but then Id have to get it coated to match the rest, and pay to have the tire mounted. Which the shop likely wouldnt do since its a 15 year old tire.

 

Yeah, but only because I don't have the alternator, wiring upgrade, or battery for it.

It's a paperweight in my storage which is better than a paperweight on my truck; plus if it was on my truck and I had an accident...I'd wonder why the hell I put a winch I couldn't operate on my truck anyway.

 

They don't come up often on CL here. First set since I found mine.

 

Grrr..least it worked out for you (even though you have extras) lol jerk

 

I check craigslist every day or two just for those wheels and they never come up.

 

Once I work these up and decide on a color, I'll put my current set in the MP or if you're still looking/interested by then, you'll have dibs.

 

I see maybe one nice set a month. But people always ask way to much imo. $400 for oem wheels with dry rotted tires that I have to pay to remove? No thanks. I got mine for $120, talked down from $350 haha.

The junkyard sets had a ton of rash though. Between the two yards I could've maybe put together a niceish set but would still need sandblasted to look good.

 

Lol you're good, thank you though.

Wheels are last on my list for my truck; I need to decide on either the Grand Vitara or GM alternator upgrade, and take the time to create a wiring harness to replace the stock one with.

 

Just to make you jealous.

 

No jealousy here, admiration instead

 

Really tempted to go white and see how it looks... Absolutely will not do black. Might do a bronze shade similar to @turbodb, his turned out decent. Don't get me wrong, I like how the hyper-silver turned out but want to switch it up a bit.
