1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Nice, thank you sir.
(Also, semi-related, dude is aggro in that radiator thread lol)

 

I saw

He went full retard real quick

 

I don't even fucking get it. Parts get discontinued all the time. The OEM for the 1st gen rad is tits up anyway, why would they source another after 15 years.

This guy gets it.

Pineapple on pizza; bet they're cat owners too

 

People are really bad at understanding the power of economics.

 

Hey now, don't put me and fluffy in the same boat as those....those.....things.

 

I think he's part of the crowd that assumes he's important because he's angry

 

Its not like Denso has stopped making them, I don't get it. It's like he wants to pay more.
Even years ago when I got one from a dealer it was Denso.

 

The original manufacturer was Harrison. They went tits up and for a short while Toyota source them from denso. What you get from denso now isn't the same thing but it's still plenty fine and actually I had argue that the TYC one is better quality. Not every OEM part is the best quality you can get they're still great stuff out there in the aftermarket so I don't get the bitching

 

Yep

And weren't there different versions of said radiator that went into 1st Gen Tacomas than 3rd Gen 4Runners?

At least that's what I think I gathered from my co-worker.

 

1st Gen tacomas and 3rd gen 4Runners have completely different radiator designs

 

4Runners came from Japan and I believe they're OEM radiator was provided by trad before Toyota got out of the business of making their own radiators entirely

 

Wasn't aware of how different they were but yes I learned they were sourced differently than those for Tacoma's

 

Yep. Mine's still going.
I believe my 100 still had an og Harrison in it as well before I swapped it. Could be wrong, but I remember it wasn't a Denso.
I totally agree not every OEM is superior. Doorhandles are one example off the top of my head that I think handily fall in that category.

 

From way up in upstate NY. I remember when this was a common decal.

 

I'm running an aftermarket radiator in the Lexus. I can't remember the name. That's the way I want to keep it.

 

I'm gonna make my own out of pvc pipe and folded up aluminum gum wrappers for fins.

 

Now I feel like I should add a new rad to the list since my truck turned 20
Maybe break the rules and run a, gasp, TYC
