1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

If a women went into my shop right now she would piss herself. It looks like a junkyard dumped a bunch of shit in it and left.

 

We are spoiled here. Crazy how ingenuitive guys gotta get in other countries to get things running because they cant get parts or cant afford parts

 

I learned mad shit from them. How to move axles and motors, weld on cast and clean shit.

 

Well, Eibach lift kit sold

If only my Dobinsons arrived so I can buy new tires already.

 

Exactly!! I would prob never have cut the frame off but if you see the amount of work other people can do you're like, yeah, I got that.

 

Nice!

 

Ever watch this guy work? Dude can turn trash into working amazing looking stuff again

@Blue92

 

So true! Bullshit! The second they let us loose the gas prices hit a 20 year high!

 

Yeah that's a lot worse than the bad transfer case leak on my 99. I don't get any smoke in the cab just the smell of gear oil.

 

I really don't want to have to do it, but when my truck is rolling around Im gonna start looking into a d4 engine or maybe earlier so I can make my own fuel if shit gets real real.

 

@Kwikvette Have you looked into diesels for your cruiser by any chance?

 

Oh that'd be awesome as I'd love a 4BT however, I'm realistic in that -

1. Budget would be a huge reason why a diesel swap wouldn't work

2. Lack of knowledge to perform the appropriate swap, and what I mean is CA emissions ready

I've done one engine swap in my entire life, and though I had friends help, it was a Yota engine into another Yota so it wasn't all that difficult. My Corvette is on a Painless stand-alone but I paid for all that to be done some +12 years ago.

With that said, a diesel swap wouldn't make sense for me.

 

Welp Im ready to amputate my arm. Got everything primed though. 3 coats on everything but the new drywall.

 

The 4bt is badass but it is like 8k( I just looked they actually went down in price since last i checked) for the motor alone or more now maybe. I was thinking a toyota engine. You know anyone on here who knows whats up with diesels in toyotas?

 

12valve or nothing

 

I feel your pain....I hate painting!
