1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I double checked, it was $217 not $300. It’ll be cheaper if it’s strapped to a pallet and wrapped instead of building a crate. Keep in mind that’s shipping it cross country. Would be cheaper to ship it to Washington.

I’m about an hour to an hour and a half from Nelson. He’s just outside the Bay Area.

 

How much would you want me to pay you for your time to drive to Nelson and pick up that front diff

 

I always find my phone or tv remotes under the damn cat. then i get clawed trying to get it.

 

What am I gonna do with it haha

 

Miguel had 2 empty housings a handful of shafts some abs. There was a complete 5lug axle. Also that 4.10 front diff is really getting around.

 

Palletizing it with Miguel's housing and third and ship them to me of course






Gah I'm such a piece of shit. I just need to make the trip south and get everything myself

 

Id want no ABS to match what I've already got so that's good news



Alright that's it.... I just need to drive south. Now to convince the missus it's worth it for me to do this

 

Just come to the 2021 LT Camping trip and you can get it then

 

Oh I'll be there, I have to prove to Dan my shit box will be driving on trails before he's driving under his own weight


But I'm worried if I wait that long @Kwikvette is gunna give that front diff to someone else first

 

Pretty sure that diffs being used now

 

Not yet, it's been promised to me unless he gave it away to someone else

 

Jaxon, the one you got I think was from the 98 regular cab. The one Nelson has was from a 96 extra cab that I swapped into then out of my 97 when I got the 4.56 diffs.

 

How many tacos have you parted out over the years?

 

6 so far you can see them here https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/the-green-truck-an-illustrated-story.660999/
also a 91 Jeep YJ a 95 Grand Cherokee and a 98 VW Bug.

 

Yeah I think my wife would kill me if I took your advice.

 

@Speedytech7 @Blue92 and anyone else that welds on here

Do you guys notice any considerable rise in power usage on your electricity bill from welding? Say over the course of a normal everyday bumper project.

I normally wouldn't care, but our utilities are included with our rent and I don't want our landlord to be surprised with a huge spike if that's what happens. We haven't had our rent raised in almost 4 years and I don't want to give him a reason to lol.

I did some reading on another forum and it sounds like it's negligible unless you're welding all day long. I just want to start practicing mostly on the weekend.

 

I see,

it’s probably gonna move onto a new own er eventually too.

or maybe I should put 4.88s it in and the 99’s rear diff

probably not

 

I mean, I can’t imagine it’s much different than an appliance
