1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

They're fodder for the Crusher/Recycling pros in rust country.

 

I had a dream a couple nights ago that I was at Disneyland getting a churro but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't eat it. Woke up holding onto one of our cat's tails

 

probably a good thing you didn't catch a bite!

 

Give him $7k
Drive it to Los Angeles and sell it as is for $20k+ @gettym

Lol even in CA that's a $4k truck

 

Just glad I wasn't dreaming about being an gastroenterologist

 

Good thing your significant other isn't a man or that would have sucked...for you.

 

This is the expected response from a
well trained sales manager.

But I might go $5k if it passed the hammer test and diff loc works.
No CEL is a big plus also.

 

Another friend

 

If you put him next to your ear, you'll hear him say you can save 15% or more by switching to Geico

 

Lol sounds like a plan

Got the Taco inspected and the repair list is long and expensive

Shocks
Struts
Tie rod ends
Ball Joints
O2 Sensor
ABS Sensor

got quoted like 2300 parts and 4100 with labor... might be passing on the truck altogether now

 

...and my computer at work is dead. Starts up but then powers itself off and restarts every few minutes lol. Fuck me.

 

Those are all good bargaining points to lower the price to $3k

Another one of my buddy’s from college that stayed local is engaged now. His gf never liked me so it essentially means I’ll never see him again unless she’s out of town.

The social circle grows smaller every day. Once everyone is having kids in a year or two I’ll be fully alienated. Not to be negative but getting older is an odd experience.

 

50% will be back seeking dating advice

 

You can do all that in a day pretty easy

 

Yea no. All the ones traded in around here go straight to Wisconsin, then Canada and end up in Syria or the likes.

 

You listed shocks and struts? Tacoma's only use shocks.

Ball joints, if using OEM, would run you $200-220 for lowers. Buy the tool from Harbor for like $15

Shocks front and rear, with some springs would run you what...$200 total? I'm just guessing on the coils but it shouldn't be too much. You'll need 14mm ratcheting wrench and a 17 or 18mm for the bottom bolt, so another $20 in tools.

Tie rod ends $100 for OEM, less if you go Moog or similar.

Depending what o2 sensor you get, front or rear, would be between $40-90. Open ended wrench (forget the size), so what another $15 in tools.

Round up, with a little extra, you're under $900 in parts and you can knock all out in the same day.
