1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I ran Chinese LBJs for two years. Literally wheeled up a running waterfall and through huge logs and stones. Was it a bad idea, yes, did it work, yes, did I check them once a week for play, absolutely

 

The coilovers are oriented differently though, he's right. Resi fronts would have the hoses in the wrong areas.

 

That gubment cheese tho

 

I figured the res. may be the issue; same part numbers for non-res. coilovers between both vehicles.

 

You've lost sight of the good stuff

 

Thank you for your personal experience, that makes me feel a little better. I'll be sure to jack it up and check em every week

Did yours whistle tho?

 

Must resist

 

Nope the 3 holes on top are clocked something like 15 degrees differently

so the solid aluminum top hat thing coilovers use has to be 4 runner or tacoma specific because theres only soo much misalignment heims can take

any other shock you just rotate the top hat the right way before releasing the spring because they can rotate 360 degrees on the shock rod

5100s are the easiest, just stick a screwdriver in the shock bushing and rotate once assymbled and bolted onto the frame cause the spring perch and shock are seperate so you can turn the shock without the spring and top hat moving

 

Always traded mine for the bacon whenever someone got it; never cared for the jalapeño as much.

 

@cruiserguy

Since you had asked; I get everything pristine before getting it together.

Here's the clutch pawl assembly



Hub cover dial assembly on bottom left; new o ring and gasket



Inner hub and spacer installed in hub body; that snap ring is a pain in the ass



All assembled



I only put one together seeing as how the detent spring on the other manual hub was broken. Ordered one from Yotamasters

 

That stuff is therapeutic

 

Beautiful work man! You've inspired me to try and find a used sent and rebuild em myself!

I still need to find bare spindles to press new bearings and my manual wheel hub thingy

 

Disassembling and cleaning guns does the same for me; since I haven't been shooting for some time, manual hubs will have to do

 

Oh they're super easy.

It's just a bit of a pain getting them all cleaned up, especially if the o ring failed and the grease inside is contaminated.

Only parts you can media blast are the hub cover and dial which I get done so I can paint them.

 

@Abeyancer

You can use Prerunner spindles as well since they're identical to 4x4 spindles; you'll just use your own axle hub to make it work with the manual cv axles.

Only difference you'll find is some have the tab for abs whereas others don't.

 

I thought using snap rings were impossible till I realized I was using the wrong pliers.

You’ve got snap ring pliers for snap rings with holes in them, you’re supposed to use Lock Ring Pliers.

@Speedytech7 theres an 800 dollar 2000 lexus 300 auto with A 2jz is it worth it as car

Runs drives has a title

 

Oh fuck yea! That'll help widen the search thank you

If I dont have an ABS idiot light then I don't have ABS correct? While I was changing ball joints today I didn't see a sensor... but then again I wasn't looking

 

You likely dont have it

 

There's never anything in junk yard around here
