1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

It had like 1mm of slop nothing was wrong with it but thats still 1mm more than what my buddies has which is where it should be

 

Part of me tells me the 4 runner j shift has progressive springs cause it starts off hard becomes easy and almost slips itself into 4x4 or low range

But the tacoma wasnt as satisfying to just sit there and shift

 

theyre the same exact case as the taco.
i have a 4runner j shift and taco j shift. they feel exactly the same. one has 120k the other 240k both super tight and notchy.

 

No, that's just the extra effort to move the synchro ring and once it lines up it get easier.

 

There was a bit of shifter play in my tacomas j shift most likely which i will use one day on something

 

My money is on @Sperrunner he's the one with a face strap on so multi tasking lmao

 

Automatic vs manual transmission but would that matter?

 

Should only be shifting in neutral either way so no.

 

Ive off and on tried looking on google to see if theres a shifter bushing like on manuals that you can replace... after having the shifter out it seems like there would be, just cant find the part number

 

It's been too long since I put the 99s new transfer case in. Don't remember if there was a bushing like the manual trans shift lever has.

I took the little snap ring thing out of mine and just pulled the shifter out and other than how it was fixed in the case seemed very similar to the mt shifter on my buddies truck

 

Saw a thread pop up, where Ryan and I advised someone not to buy a certain shock.

Months later, he posts that he bought it anyway, claiming its too short and maxing out

We said that 5 months ago

 

Ok cool, didnt mention transmissions other than manuals so i figured they only made transmission shifter bushings

thanks for that

 

Serves him right?

 

I just picked up some 80 series landcruiser front coils and rear shocks to put on my 4 runner lets hope it works out

 

I know 4th gen 4runners benefit from a different vehicle's springs for a lift in the rear....unsure for 3rd gens

Why not leaf spring the rear?

Long travel ftw

 

80 series front springs work in the rear of 3rd gens perfect diameter and ~3.5 inches of lift

But the shocks... i havnt heard about anyone running them

I have fj springs in the rear rn and they work good but rub on the frame

Links ftw... no axle wrap here

Also no carrier bearing so its as direct as it gets

 

Apparently my 882 coils weren't even developed with the Tacoma in mind. They're J90 coils or something. Made old man emu stop talking to me when I contacted them about the leaf spring sag.

 

So.....you spend $1k on beefy, stock width LCAs but won't put the right stuff everywhere else?



Not knocking ya, just trying to understand....
