1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I forgot about that! Red means race status


Race status=mo' powa baby

 

@xtremewlr

Not gonna try and talk you out of or anything, considering a ton of people like SPCs and they're well regarded, but what makes you stray from uniball?

I only ask because I think you mentioned going johnny joints for your links later? Can't remember.

 

Doing shit during a light rain is the best time to do stuff!

Just stand outside to cool off

I don't have a garage, and a TW member and I were replacing his leaf pack in my parking spot at my house where we had light rain.

 

That's a badass shell btw, I like the 'higher' rise top

New seals and all will make it that much nicer.

 

Light rain is pretty much all we get here in the Puget Sound, i love it! Always enjoyed working in it and i have a pop up tent for when it gets too wet lol


However rain and silicone sealant don't really like each other

 

Thanks! I really scored on this one, these high rise ones are rarer to find used and even more rarer to fit so perfectly on a 1st gen tacoma


But I've got moss growing on the inside of the carpet insulation from the moisture leaks... hopefully I can just steam clean it to like new quality. I really REALLY don't want to have to redo that carpet

 

JJs are for the rear end. I'm talking front end here. JJs aren't used on the front end for anything with IFS AFAIK.

Seen a lot of uniball failures. SPC and JBA have a traditional style ball joint that is replaceable in both cases. And easier to replace than a uniball. Single stud for SPC, 4 bolts for JBA and you're done.

 

No I know JJ's aren't for the front; I was just using them as an example of exposed joints being used on your 4R in general.

But yeah, I get you...easier maintenance

 

JJs in the rear will require less maint since they are greasable.

 

Yeah, only ones I see for sell are the shorter variant.

That and they're all beat to shit really or for double cabs.

 

Well that fuckin blows

 

Doh!!

That might leak a little more now.

 

Only maybe slightly



Now the decision: do I fiberglass and bondo where the window used to be, or buy a new piece of glass?


It's a stupid design... its a flat window that they flex into place and used a crap ton of black goop to seal it

But I have no legitimate fiberglass experience lol

 

Personally, I'd research pricing to have someone do it for you. Or, cut a piece of aluminum to fit it, goop the shit out of it and screw or rivet it into place. Paint it to match and be done. Unless you really want glass in there again, then consider plexiglass maybe.

 

Well guys..

 

Dude we already know; we don't judge homie

 

Compression test showed 118 for cylinder 3 and 160 for cylinder 2. They quoted me 2760 for brand new head, hg, all the washers and bolts. Will be done by Thursday or friday next week. They offered to do remanufactured head for 500 dollars cheaper but i said put a new one in. I dont want to fuck with this again for as long as i have the truck

 

I've got shell shock from my transmission debacle so in my sick and twisted mind i can't let anyone ever work on any part of my truck again lol

I was kinda thinking plexiglass.. at least temporarily. Ultimately this is a good thing because I wanted to replace this glass with a custom designed and vent system

 

Thank fuckin god for 6 month financing. Im deep in the hole now

 

Yeah, I'd go the plexi route then. You can get it tinted I think.
