1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Did you put the coin in the car vending machine?

 

Adventure Motors has been building up the suspension to be a jumper. I understand they will wrap it in Quicksand once it returns from C4 Fabrication.

 

This one just got a new GFC roof tent. It has new wheels and tires coming soon.

 

I see people with new Mishimoto radiators that leak due to bad welds. I know they look pretty, but the incident ratio is way too high for me to mess with one.

 

Love that color too.

 

TE37s on a FJ60 seems wrong

 

It does say "Car Culture" and seeing the amount of cool cars with terrible wheel choices it doesn't surprise me. I think that toy Supra's wheels are even worse.

 

I cannot get over how dumb and clunky the GFC roof tent is. Huge price for a regular wedge tent that's overly bulky. CampTEQ is the way to go on an 80 series...

 

The 80 is big enough that I'd rather just sleep inside the back. I sleep in the back of my 84 4Runner and that is big enough.

 

I did that on a trip last year and I don't need to do it again. I'm too tall for it to be really comfy and it requires rearranging the back a lot at camp in the evenings and mornings. I'm tall, it's not a comfy arrangement even with one of the back seats removed.

 

I'm not that tall and I pack light.

 

I pack light compared to everyone else I'm with usually, that's why it was even possible for me to sleep in the LC, I just won't do it again.

Alu-Cab does similar conversions. Seen here on John Watson's 70 series Troopy.

He had an 80 series before the Troopy (pics in the second article I linked t) and a 1st gen Tacoma before that..

Didn't you post that a few months back, looks like he changed the wording of the ad.

That diy pop top roof camper is ugly as F

 

That is cool! Thanks for sharing. I think I saw something like this on a 100 with our group in Silverton last summer. It was awesome.

 

I can technically fit myself in the back of the 04 diagonally. Have to remove all my gear. Not ideal and the SnugTop shell leaks a ton while my 20 year old ARE was fine. But I refuse to go to a rooftop tent/bedrack setup.

Not really sure what direction I’ll go. I’ve considered grabbing one of those RLD stainless steel shells and make a sleeping platform that sits above the wheel wells to increase sleeping room and allow storage below. Also requires using a Ford Ranger cap or something since none are designed for the 1st gens.

 

I did yes

 

Just sleep in the passenger seat
