1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Marlin's RCLT. Wish I had the available funds to commit to it. I'd definitely do it for both the 4runner and Taco. Still no actual date but they have made the release groups smaller which is maybe a little encouraging.

Release group 1:
2003+ 4Runner
2003+ Lexus GX470
2005+ Tacoma
2006+ FJ Cruiser
ETA: Late Spring
Release group 2:
1995-04 Tacoma
1996-02 4Runner
ETA: TBA

 

They have a really good habit of Saying 1st gen shits coming and never delivering.


But if it does come out I’ll be looking into it for taco #2...

 

I dunno.

Re-read my sarcastic post haha.

 

I know. And for taking longer than eternity to release something and then immediately running out of stock once they do. I still wants it.

 

Oh dude that's an easy job

Assumed you did it yourself

 

Yeah it was really easy. I ran errands while someone else fought with the rust.

 

I'll check PnP today and see what I see.

 

again PnP read wrong in my mind

 

That cummins motor I snapped a pic of last week?



Buddy got the job for the swap



First time we've had a cummins replaced in the 8 years I've been here.

Car manufacturer's normally send a short block, etc. and have you reuse most other items which @Empty_Lord can attest to

Not with Cummins; they send you a drop in replacement that's been run and dyno tested before going out to anyone.

In turn they want the old one back to break it down and examine the failure. In this case it was fuel related, so the motor itself was just collateral damage.

 

6.7?

 

Or the baby one for the 1500?

 

I came to my senses and bought a quality vehicle, a Chrysler.

 

I figured youd have enough with poor mpg

 

Cummins, so 6.7

The diesel in the 1500 is not at all by Cummins

 

That AMC motor was bullet proof, and the Aisin transmissions in some models were pretty damn stout as well.

Just get a base model if you're buying an older Jeep; the higher trim levels tend to have issues with all their luxury add ons.

 

New toys showed up today...

 

the Aisin transmission AW4 is the same transmission as Toyotas 340x internally. Different bellhousing/tailhousings.


You can bastardize a 1UZ transmission housing with the AW4 or 340 from a 4wd toyota put a tcase behind it

 

It wasn’t dripping oil anymore, so I knew it was out of oil.

 

Nice!

Doing your rear shock relocation huh?

It's on my to do list

How long are those Kings expanded and collapsed?
