1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Thank you sir. I made sure to organize them so I wouldn't mistake one for another. A few of the threads I had bookmarked had you and a few other people mention it, I'm trying to avoid the headaches if I can. Next couple days is suspension and bumper

 

Oh damn sorry I totally forgot about picking up the roof trim, I'll be at work in Pasadena tomorrow at noon. I can meet you there if it's on your way?

 

Oh bumper you'll knock out in an hour or two (two if you take your time).

 

I'm still rocking a 17 yr old pickup with no back seats and no end in sight

 

This is how it always starts


And then your trucks been apart in the garage for a week, tools everywhere, random bolts and trash, a cracked phone screen, permanent grease stains on your hands, diff fluid on the ground.
Jeez

 

I was hoping it'd be be around that.
Have everything ready to roll but the 13mm bit which will be here Tuesday. Be nice to not deal with any seized bolts front or rear, but gotta do what ya gotta do, we'll see. PB on em last couple days.

 

I hope not, I gotta button it up and get an alignment by end of Friday.

 

Plus its 2021, plenty of good options out there. If you drive a minivan its your own damn fault.

 

I woulda been done faster, but Thursday rolled around and I started spending a lot of time away for some reason

 

I will be, I'll be there around 2pm. Having lunch with my brother in Arcadia at 12ish. Then heading back to Tahoe.

 

You think your bumper would be seized?

It's only 4 bolts if I recall correctly, and if the bolts give you no issue, should take no more than 5 minutes to fully remove.

Another 2-3 for the crash bar and mounts.

 

Suspension bolts dweeb

 

He and I are talking bumper.

 

No not bumper, I know that's fine, been off a few times...I'm talking rear leafs or front lowers etc since I'm doing the suspension too. I have a recip saw ready but hoping not to need it.

 

@Wulf

 

I was pleasantly surprised, not one seized bolt.

the front leaf spring eye bolts took a second to get free, but they came out.

 

Nice. That'd be ideal.

 

MCM makes the rear cantilever kit for my tundra if I ever decide to do something stupid to it…

 

It’s on sale
