1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Oh I just meant, I had my bumper sitting by the side of the house for a good while before I threw it on the Tacoma.

It was only because I didn't own a strong enough drill, and proper bits, to drill into the frame end piece for that long bolt.

Suspension I already had on though.

 

Only if you promise to ask a question I've already answered, and tag a mod to say I've been following and harassing you considering all I've done is post a walk-through with detailed pics on said install.

It'll require someone coming back to this thread, and tagging me, so I can mention how much of an idiot said poster is.

 

@Abeyancer is pretty good at this, he seems to watch the same threads I post in.

I am glad I took as many side pics of the Tacoma as I did, with varying weight.

The Dakar leaf pack isn't meant to handle much over stock, but still handled a good 200lbs constantly loaded, while still netting 2" of lift.

 

I try to for a lot of things; it allows me to provide a small bit of information based on said experience.

I had planned for the Chevy 63 leaf swap in conjunction with a rear shock relocation, since we all know the stock rear shock location can only net so much travel.

Still planning a rear shock relocation on the 4R though.

 

Chevy 63s on the runner

 

This one is on my playlist because of you

 

Too much work for the limited down time.

Though, all of that could change with a new house + welder.

Just not making any promises to myself, or anyone here, unless I'll fully commit.

 

Bro you gotta talk up your build and then never do it, just keep talking about how you're gonna do it but life got in the way yet again and foiled the plan

 

I would never

So here's one for ya, with some diagnostic on my end.

4Runner wouldn't turn on right away, not sure if you saw my post.

Issue - put key in, I always wait several seconds, then turn key - single click.

Try to crank again, single click.

Turn key all the way to off, then on, sometimes will crank and fire, other times a single click.

Symptoms point to bad contacts in my starter solenoid.

One thing I've noticed recently, and 4 out of 4 times so far has proven it...if I put the key in, when I turn it to the ON position, if I crank it within the 3 seconds of putting it to the ON position, it fires up right away like normal.

I'll try again when I leave work tonight, but so far it fires up right away if I crank the vehicle immediately after putting the key in and in the ON position.

 

I mean, depending on how much weight you'll have...if it's going to be quite a bit, I'd heavily suggest going custom leaf pack like @eon_blue did.

It's one thing getting a new leaf pack, and an AAL.

I feel like that'd give you a stiff setup, for the sake of being able to carry a load.

A custom leaf pack will allow proper flex/handling while still handling the load you carry.

 

Stupid as it sounds make sure your battery terminals are clean and have a good connection. Had the same problem with a new battery and it was a weak connection at the battery

 

I did, but thanks for mentioning it.

The battery isn't even a year old, it's an Interstate battery, and the contacts are clean for sure.

I didn't check the other grounds though, but I guess I'll take a look this next day off.

Just kind of odd the way it acts up; points to the contacts. But now I found a way to start it up right away.

 

@Wulf

Drop off your Tacoma over here so I can have a truck again

 

It's parked for now. Blew up the axle seals and they need to be replaced and bearings need to be repacked.
