1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I go over to the south sound a lot and all over Oregon and Montana regularly. My truck is literally just for camping and exploring, only reason I have it.

 

i wish i had enough free time to do that shit anymore.

 

Make time, they don't just hand it out. I'm taking all next week off to go wheeling. Helps that I'm over my job, I didn't request time off I told them I was taking it

 

Enjoy it, man. I hope that it is a joyful and relaxing trip

 

I will if I can fix the tacos brakes before Saturday

 

I would like to talk about that! I aspire to be like you.. I wish I could have a garage with a frame just sitting there. I promised my SO I'd grow up and limit myself to just one major project, so I bought this 98 after searching for months... it was an easy sell for her cause I picked it up for 2k with a dead engine and had a rebuilt 3rz looking to be dropped into something.

I then spent to drop it in, had that transmission debacle (another 2k + ) and now need about another 2k plus for complete suspension and steering rebuild.... not to mention that the engine rebuild was supposed to go back into the 4R and that cost me 2k+


And the more I rebuild the more I want to restore.. like take the cab off and completely restore the frame. Then it's the wanta pile.. like wanting to add lockers when I regear cause I "have" to get rid of these 3.56 and go to a 4.30 and while I'm in there might as well add lockers that's 6k plus so much of my time and it's my daily so I'm buying double of everything(like OEM control arms, etc), rebuilding it, then just swapping it into the truck so I have as little downtime as possible



Tell me your taco story now!

 

Brakes? Don't stop

 

Oh.. my bad.


I wont talk so much

 

Bought some 2 weeks ago...haven’t worn them and just got another set I just bought days ago

SO brought them over just now

 

That's my eventual goal plus her into SD the missus really likes SD

 

Did you forget you bought them?! Or like me just misplace shit all the time?

 

Straight link? You trying to cancel out your true nature?

 

Back up pair to a back up pair

I have 3-4 pairs per set but vary each set up a bit

 

Hey, nothing wrong with sending mixed signals

You should know you do it all the time

 

whats to tell. its all in the build page right now.. theres alot going on with this truck.

 

once i get these damn projects (aka the tacoma) closer to done i'll do that. but all i get is 2 weeks vacation all year. and thats including sick days. fuckin sucks

 

Oh I'll look for your build page ... I have a bad habit of missing that section of the forum

I'll go look it up!

 

You know, the same places that offer 1st Gen Tacoma parts offer limited 4R parts.

Decided since I'm only going 2" on the 4R, I'll just buy the rears offered by King.

Wanting to spend less than $900 shipped.

 

tis in my sig. as well as the tundra build
