1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

@Empty_Lord

Just get a 3rd Gen 4Runner; then I could at least like you and not pretend anymore

 

I did 4 on my 21st.

I don't remember much of that night except that I started hugging the air conditioning condenser.

 

You sure got a lot of tires Todd haha

 

OUCH... i did have one for a short bit.

 

Yeah, you texted those pics to Todd and I.

I'm talking NOW though.

 

theyres no good ones out here otherwise i'd probably own one, i do love the 3rd gens.

 

So, when's that truck getting done eh

soon enough. dont worry. i havent bought any more cars yet. i told myself i'll have a running gear and at least start on the body work this year. ideally run by the end of summer

 

Want to put money on that?

 

I want one so bad

My buddy with the long travel boosted FJ has one he's selling.

 

no because life is ever changing.


once the red corolla is back from the body shop and i sell it i'll be dumping alot of money into the taco

i should timelapse the next frame swap i get to do (IF i get to do another one.. they seem to be drying up)

 

key things me and the other guy do different from that video, we leave the engine up in the cab, the front diff gets dropped when the lower are out, with the axles still attached and the spindles still attached to the knuckles.. reinstall before putting the new lowers on the new frame... works really welll and its mostly because we're more limited on space to be storing all that

 

and the replacements do last if you show any kind of care taken to spray the underside when can

How do you go about leaving the engine in the cab?

 

Engine support brace and for the trans a chain supports it that’s bolted to the underside of the body. Works really well. Don’t need to drain coolant or mess with the A/C
