1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Nice It should be a pretty simple install then. I am 99% sure i just unbolted the bottom ball joint and slid the spindle back to install the coils/shocks. Labor is insane at shops for these easy jobs. If its a friend I just ask for a bottle of Whiskey.

 

I’m not messing with brakes for a long time, but I’ll keep it in mind.

I relocated it with the fancy bracket thing already ha

 

congrats brotha, take ur time moving and dont break shit haha

 

When the “lunch table” is really a dumpster

 

Yeah I don't consider myself competent enough to ask for payment anyway lol.

I was wondering about what to disconnect to slide the coilovers in so that's good to know. On my truck I've just been able to bolt them right in without disconnecting anything, but I know most people have to create more room.

 

I love how the Kings just slide in and out on 1st gens like butter. Same thing with the 3rd gen 4runners. I think that may be true with 2nd gens and Kings also. The 5100s are just longer when not under load. Also the 2nd gen lower ball joint bolts are 17s and there is only 2 super easy to remove plus Socal truck so No rust. You shouldn't have any problem.

The Canadian versions were basically an SE named ES but had VLSD.

After I started putting a flat washer under the head of the VC bolts, it stopped any leaks as the gasket would get older. The bolts have a shoulder that keeps them from being tightened so far. Adding a washer gives the bolt a little more bite to tighten down the gasket.

 

Finally got my first COVID test. It’s like putting listerine up your nose.

 

You get exposed or? I've only taken one and it was the oral swab, but I hear they aren't as accurate

 

I spent 2 days in airports and 3 days at a trade show last week. Friend has young kids, don’t want to expose them, so a pcr test seemed prudent.

 

how dare u do the right thing and prevent something like that

 

parked next to a 2nd gen xtra cab last night at the gym and was quite amazed how low i am in reality. shoulda grabbed a pic

 

Very considerate of you to subject yourself to testing to protect others.
We need more people like you in the world

 

Well, friend is girlfriend and I want to get back to steaming up car windows


Not entirely altruistic over here.

 

When I added the coilovers to the GX I didn't have to disconnect anything except the sway bar to allow for more droop.
