1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Lol what

 

I actually did this with the Tacoma I wrecked and parted out

Cept it didn't have a rear axle and was in a muddy field so my buddies 4x4 4runner was used to pull the truck out from under the engine trans and t case combo

And my dads frontier was utilized to keep the hoist from falling

We did this at 3am so the memory isn't that clear but that's what I remember

 

Exhibit A

 

Exhibit B

 

I see how it is

 

Crawled under the 4 banger 4 runner for the 1st time, the atf pan drain plug is loose, maybe that's why it's leaking

And also 2 brake lines go to the proportioning valve but only one goes to the axle

 

I didn't know what to expect

You know it! These damn kids and their affinity for the vroom vroom pedal

 

This is pretty cool, 4x4 and a two piece camper design so no leaks. Downside is it is a 1.8L haha

Also.... never seen this, 5 speed on the column

 

I had so many wipeouts like that as a kid when we lived on top of a big hill for several years... we'd have roller hockey games on the cul de sac up top but inevitably the ball would roll down the hill and whoever touched it last had to chase after it....so many injuries lol. Also had to go down into the drain gutter more times than I care to remember, back before they put grates over them

 

Yeah they're saying that Edison is going to do the same out here, rolling blackouts all weekend. Shouldn't last for more than an hour tops but still... Gonna be 107 today and the next few days at least.

Looks like SPC makes lower control arms and possibly upper ones as well for LCs and Runners. 3/16 DOM with a spherical join at one side and a bushing on the other. Good upgrade in strength and flex for a modest price I think.

Their catalog is crap though cause it's tough to find the parts for other models

SPC shows these LC ones for $350 but eveywhere has em for sale as $250 a pair

 

Engine was totally fine before I pulled it. I just pulled it because the engine bay needs all new wiring, and I’m going to paint it. Additionally it makes it was easier to clean the block, replace oil seals, accessories, etc.
