1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Pretty sure Toyota has used the 3.5 TT overseas for awhile now. I think youd be fine with a first model year.

It's been in Lexus models since 2010 or so in one form or another iirc
@Empty_Lord would know

 

A few years, but not quite 2010.

Sanded the letters on the Ford cover, ended up nice.

 

Put it on the Z

 

Ah I skimmed the posts and thought we were talking about the 2GR-FE 3.5l that's in the 3rd gen Tacos, which had been around a lot longer

 

Why tho

 

American cars > imports

 

Didn’t you buy a brand new RAV4?

 

Shhh

 

It's a 2rz auto but runs drives and has a clean title, should I?

 

Yeah, because you know Dan will buy it when you’re done.

 

Seems like an okay-not-great price.

Did you let the magic smoke out of the slug?

Unless you need parts or a new ride, I say save the money for something nicer. Maybe a 4x4?

 

That would’ve been a good cab swap on my 99 frame.

 

Every other pickup is 3k plus, the ad was taken down or I just count find it to message the guy

 

The 4 runner had a tired 3rz that wouldn't die but couldn't keep 70 without flooring it and got me the same mpg as my tundra does cruising at 90

Gone are the days of the 5k dollar 4x4 it seems

That truck looked like it wasn't wrecked which is rare I really havnt seen many old cars in general that haven't been wrecked with lights that fit or paint and body lines arnt trash

The only vehicle that I've bought that had original paint and no shoddy bodywork is my 96 Camry

my 01 4r was wrecked and had 5 shades of grey but the body lines lined up, the doors opened/closed, and the headlights fit

The 98 4r was wrecked and bodged together trash, the 04 tundra is wrecked bodged together trash, the 01 4r was wrecked multiple times but fixed decently each time, the 97 Camry was 900 dollars and had chipping bondo

 

Just realized I crossed you with @Das it mang in my head. I was thinking "Why does he want another 5-lug?"

Yeah, if you just want something to daily and don't care if it's pretty then that price isn't bad at all.

 

Yeah man where I live in South Texas every 3rd vehicle has been fixed at the back of a buy here pay here lot by some guy making $10 an hour it's annoying looking for something used and finding nothing but trash so you eventually settle than start looking for setting decent but settle

 

2017 ls500. no major issues to report. aside from rare cases.
