1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Those are the tiny ones. Ive got one stump probably 3' in diameter. It would be around the same amount of money for a pro to come do it and the other 6 or so stumps with a much bigger machine.

 

I think AZ does a great job, I have been through Flagstaff and Sho Low a few times and both looked clean and well kept.

 

*enthusiastic sounds*

 

Do you want to paint my green truck when your done?

 

I don’t wish that evil on my worst enemy

Haha man, it’s a lot of work. If I had to do it again I’d pay a shop to do it. The prep takes forever, and clear coat sucks to spray and compound.

 

@Empty_Lord do you know what color or paint code this turd gen is?

I need to find a good shop, I want to paint the 4runner cavalry blue next spring.

 

I don’t know the code off hand

Use this website, it’s really good.

That piece that broke off?

Fucking mint

 

Working on this 2001 Limited 4Runner. My buddy’s girlfriend needs it driveable for a 2 mile commute to work. Won’t pass inspection and the front end shakes violently when braking. I noticed the rear axle seals have left the chat... likely from the rear breather clogging with dirt.

This is going to be fun because I have to overlook so many other issues with the truck to solve this braking issue.

I have three sets of S12WE calipers/rotors. Might throw a set on for testing. Although this Limited uses S13WM calipers/slightly larger rotors.

 

It's official, I have completely moved out of my apartment and currently on the way to Sanger.

 

Send me that hood

 

I fear the flying monkeys from Malignant Narcissists.

 

Tonneau is painted. I used the leftover Mercedes Tiefscwartz paint from when I fixed the rear end collision. Plenty of imperfections but that’s what the compounding part is for.

@Tour991

 

100% inprovment

 

Oh don’t give me too much credit yet haha

 

Maybe from the factory, but @Tour991 added like 3 coats of paint since it was new haha. Took a whole mess of sanding to get it all smooth.

 

Yeah did three coats. I have a lot of trouble spraying clear, it didn’t end up great on the Tacoma. Learned quickly you’re not supposed to feather clear coat haha. The transition on my C pillar from old paint to new paint is… amateur.

 

@Blue92

Well I’m a dummy, I didn’t realize the HVLP gun pressure is supposed to be 8-10 PSI and 30-40 PSI at the regulator. I don’t have a regulator on my gun, I’ve been spraying shit at 35 PSI.

 

@eon_blue

Filter came in quick, next day.

Now to find an early morning where it isn't scorched earth to replace it
