1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I did a set of ebay fenders and a core support on my 97 (not painted) I was really happy with the fit. I just took my time and they came out good. I just need to learn how to paint now.

You can pay McNeil $900 and convert it an even uglier front end....

 

I am over the fiberglass look. I tried it and was not impressed. Nothing ever lines up. and it opens everything up to pack in mud and snow.

 

It's only partly the looks for me. I also want to be able to install a high-quality 5x7 light assembly instead of the mediocre '98 lenses.

I do think the earlier front clip looks better, but I wouldn't say I hate the look of the '98 parts.

 

97 was a strange year for Tacomas. The 97 2wd had the 98-2000 front end.

 

Yeah I get it if you're building a truck to race or something, but otherwise seems like it'd present more headaches than its worth.
(There's a guy who drives around town here with a fully built Tacoma that looks like a trophy truck...with literally nowhere nearby to open that thing up.)

 

Huh, weird...I guess they kept the OG one for the 4x4s and changed the 5 lugs

 

Meanwhile I’m over here with my 96 4Runner front end on my 99 with giant panel gaps on one side and 3 different colors. But at least my headlights are glass.

 

Fuck yeah, be unique

 

Those years of the Hilux weren't great either but looks a bit better to me

 

*thinks longingly about headlights that don't turn yellow...*

 

Make that a double or single cab and I'd be a happy camper.

 

looks like it has 5lug fenders

 

I would trade him my mid travel stuff

 

At least with the mid travel stuff, there would be no excuse not to install it.

 

Right

cept it’s not really mid travel but it could be

 

Even with long travel its not that hard to install.

 

Some of us have been saying that for too long now...
