1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Already done, all online without even talking to someone. Hopefully the replacement isn't stolen as well. If I didn't have so much shit to get done at work, I'd stay home on the delivery day and try to catch the fucker in the act again.

 

I did and it went pretty smooth. I’ve had no issue with mine so far. Did new brake lines too. Brake pedal will feel a little squishy”er” per say but i know it will stop
When I want it too.

 

sweet. I'm so tired of having to stand on the pedal just to potentially stop before rearending someone or worse lol. Heatsoak takes whatever stopping power I had before and throws it out the window lol

 

Bro you ain’t lying. My rotors had grooves in them when I changed my pads and I said fuck it and did the whole kit lol.

 

You must be packing a lot of weight

 

The lines may or not be completely shot too lol. Truck is off the road until its fixed

 

5 lug, i assume they have as small of brakes as my camry which suck

Even with new pads and rotors and good calipers

Saw a camry at the pick and pull that had rear disks, may cop

 

No

 

I don’t blame you there, pretty much the same story with my 99 atm.



unless it snows again

 

Are you a grumpy cat?

 

nope 6 lug, empty bed almost all the time. Like I said everything brake-wise is almost shot lol. Everything's getting revamped

 

Your profile pic looks like a lifted 5 lug

Sorry

 

Almost at 300k though, 6k more to go. Love this truck just as much as the day I bought it. Hit the key and ready to go every damn time. I need to quit going ghost on this forum and get back on like I used to lol

 

Gotta be those brake lines like you said... I'm still on the stock Tacoma pads/rotors with a bunch or armor weight, 33s, tent, etc and haven't noticed any problem with braking.. And I daily my truck.
I have stainless steel brake lines though, ditched the stock lines awhile ago. Also make sure your fluid brake fluid isn't super dark and old.

 

Tacos bros that hang together ride together

 

A rear brake adjustment will do miracles for stopping power/pedal feel. The less those shoes have to move to contact the drum translates to less pedal travel.

A good set of stock size ceramic pads and rotors is more than plenty to safely stop a 1st gen, provided the lines/master cylinder aren't trash, and the fluid is maintained accordingly.

 

This

 

You can get that BPV relation bracket too, probably help

 

Same here. Stainless lines all around, new stock replacement front rotors with ceramic pads, new rear brake shoes and even fully loaded with the tent and all the other crap I carry for wheeling, it still stops pretty damn good. Fresh fluid and making sure the BPV is adjusted properly depending on your lift makes a world of difference.

 

275$ decent for a set of OEM balljoints?
