1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Agreed Kubota diesels are the best bet for a working compact truck

The throttle setup would be cool too

 

I get 31 mpg with my camry on regular... The daily mod really is the way

 

there's a hacked together 1st gen with a 4bt that pops up for sale every couple years. it popped up for like $6k and I had to talk myself out of that trap

 

If I was gonna build a 2wd regular cab toyota errands truck with a diesel I'd shoot for a built VW ALH. 250whp and 400tq ish should be pretty zippy in a light truck....

of course a 4.8l LS would be a much easier swap

 

Stock the alh would do good, my dad had one in a Jetta

 

stock is only like 90-100 hp... but they are really zippy in the jetta.

My mom keeps threatening to sell hers and I keep asking when I can pick it up.

 

the stock jetta with a blown turbo is sportier than her mildly built NA miata engine

 

There it is folks

 

take a drink or put a finger down

 

Found @Taco critter his 4Runner mirrors. Gotta say Im kinda jelly that hes getting them and Im not gonna keep em for my truck.


Ill have to keep my eye out for another set.


In other news, apparently the owners of the house I put an offer on are seriously considering my offer. So im hopeful yet also terrified to say the least haha. I'll know tomorrow if they take it or not.

Kid gets $45k Wrangler, pays $8 bucks so he can pocket his parents' $242 difference for his parking pass

 

Genius

 

What am I going to do with this mudball of an engine compartment? The trouble is, if I clean it up, it will be like this again in two weeks.

 

Stop sharting

 

That the sticky southern mud I hear about? I don't envy that problem... Mine just gets dirty but it's nothing a light mist with the hose can't wash off
