1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

So, truth be told I have yet to replace my cv axle at all while on ground.

When I replaced each side, I did it while it was on the lift on a Sunday with no one around.

Long pry bar helped a ton as I got good leverage from it.

 

He should, he gained some room when I picked up that skid

 

I forgot, were you collecting license plates?

I have OK, TX and CO plates if you'd like

 

I need to become a monk I have already found and thrown away so much shit during the packing process

 

It feels so good doesn't it?

I threw so much stuff away; funny that I'd gain more room even if @Abeyancer picked up all the cool stuff I've got waiting for him

 

Nothing makes me want to live out of a suitcase more than moving. Best time to pare it all down though for sure.

 

Yeah, you've been on the path for a while. You're right, it does feel good. I think we underestimate the emotional weight items can hold even if they are out of sight and out of mind... I overfilled my trash and recycling bins getting the house ready for pics and now that I'm packing I'm likely gonna do it again...


I think he's coming out to CO around new years to get these geared/locked thirds and manual hub setup stuff.

 

I do!

 

*cue up Tyler's wall of plates*

 

Let me know where to send them and I'll drop them in the mail sometine

 

I'd get rid of even more stuff, but not having a hitch has really put a damper on things as I would've bought a small trailer by now already.

As for Jimmie's goodies, I just need to put it all in one place as I took most of it to Fresno only to find I have an extra OEM cv axle, subwoofer, and monitor in my Salinas storage. Still need to take that front diff to my Salinas storage as well.

 

Triple locked the FJ80 with a repurposed hazard switch. Just need to modify the face plate for center diff lock or something else just not Hazard icon. Free upgrades are always best.

 

Getting the FJ ready for me?

 

Slowly. It's fighting for time with the GX, 4Runner and Barracuda. The more I sit in it the more I don't want to get rid of it. The GX is almost to nice for me.

 

Naw, the GX you have is way nice, should keep it!

Just sucks things didn't pan out for my 4R for the buyer that was offering me more due to my time constraints.

But that LC, I got my eye on it.

 

The GX is nice and quiet. Compared to the 84 4Runner which sounds and feels like it's falling apart. Having owned 3 other 1st gen 4Runners I've grown to like the feel and it's a manual so there's that added bonus. Only wish the FJ was a manual.

 

The local rock station is playing Creed. What have y’all done.

 

Wtf lol. Don't think I've heard them on the radio since high school

 

I need to phone a sir mix a lot request to complete the feel
