1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I'll give a look at those, haven't read about them yet.

 

Do you have a garage or any place to do fab work? In AZ that's kinda important especially on tacomas since there really aren't much bolt on bits for our years, especially not a 5 lug

 

Not trying to be a downer, but going to piggyback on what Zane said above.

I don't have a garage, and even doing stuff on the 4R or Tacoma (or any other car) is a bit of a pain and these vehicles have more bolt on accessories than your 5 lug does.

Which reminds me; 5.0 needs an oil change, tire rotation, spark plugs, and cabin filter by now.

 

How many times do i gotta say my truck was stolen and burned to the ground, and the 5 lug was my first find I was able to buy by the next monday when i needed to work lol


I lost my last truck and had the 5 lug in my parking spot within 5 days of it being gone. 94k miles on a 4 cyl tacoma screamed reliable and that was where it started. I still owe half of my financing on the slug and unless the tranny or something else expensive goes Ill keep the truck because at least the engine is now good at least another 200-300k with the money I put in so far. Some people accommodate to the cards their dealt

 

Yeah the 4R suggestion was kind of random...you never expressed interest in an SUV

 

I'm not trying to be either, but when I was living the apt life... well my builds didn't move fast. It was do everything at friends places whom I was very grateful would let me. I still had to buy all my fab stuff though, metal stock, grinders, welders, presses, you get the idea. Fab work would be impossible in a apt parking lot... this coming from a guy who welded on his apt balcony using the bbq as a stand.

 

Pardon me if you told me before it was erased from my mind

I didn't know the circumstance behind the decicmsion for a 5 lug

Still I'd wait for a 1500 dollar 4 runner as you save before you put more into the 5 lug no inconvenience as you already have a pu bed

 

I have my parents place and friends as well when the big ticket items come for the time being. All of last year dicking on work with the HG in the sun has blistered the importance of a garage or "safe places" from the heat

 

No, I agree and am thankful for all u peeps and ur insight with my journey so far with tacomas. I am in no way trynna be an ass or hard headed when I respond. ITs very hard to get my emotions with just typing.

 

That's pretty cool if you've got friends and family's houses you can do work at.

I put my roof rack on while I was at my storage

 

Oof... At a junkyard I had to load a hatch on the roof of my buddies 4runner by myself, that sucked

 

Something like that is just awkward as hell.

The roof rack wasn't hard at all; just a pain when going from one side to the other and back again measuring the rack and legs to ensure everything is centered.

 

Yeah, my only problem is $ and time with building. Slowly coming terms tho like I said least should get the hg bill out of the way within the next month.


Not bad getting that shit on in such a claustrophobic condition, wow!

 

Just saw on the news a bystander was injured durring an explosion 15 ft away for a gender reveal in the middle of a suburb

One of the biggest/most destructive fires in Socal last year was started by an incendiary device used in a gender reveal party. A firefighter died in it.

People are dumb, it's less disappointing if you just learn to assume that from the get go. Those who aren't will leave you pleasantly surprised

 

Last gender reveal burned down half of california. How self absorbed are people, wow

 

Beat me to it ryan

 

Is that the one with the cannon? If that's it, the news I saw said the guy died.

 

Wow...
