1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Lol I live under a rock as far as automotive stuff goes.

John Watson (the guy behind https://theradavist.com) put one in his 70 series Troopy camper after the Toyota engine failed from watery fuel.

Must be nice to be able to write a build like that off as a business expense...

If I do a swap on a 1st gen taco it’ll be a 3UZ with a r150.

 

I support this plan.

 

Tons

tons will give you that stance

 

I wheeled once with a tj on full width axles. It was goofy lookin

 

If it were like $5k it would be a much cooler idea

Of course I could break even more diffs than my 80hp propane turd can

 

I know where he can find some pretty big buses

 

Watson did say he's getting a consistent 30mpg in that 70 series brick, though. That's the most appealing part to me.

Ignoring that the higher price of diesel would make it a wash over the 20-24mpg I manage now.

 

Thinking of going with this and a Diablo carbide blade

Watching blade reviews the Diablo and Makita blade cut so clean almost no demurred was necessary but the makita was way more money. This is what I use currently in comparison and its awesome but not really necessary lol


I'll still have to get a double bench grinder cause I also use a green wheel and a white wheel fairly regularly

 

I've heard nothing but good things about the Evo saws

 

My motor of choice, I've seen a jeep guy do it once so at least I know it's possible lol

 

That's good to hear, they seem pretty damn impressive for the price point

 

Sup g

 

morning!

long night? Lol

 

Early morning. Had to wake up at 2:30 to get somewhere by 4.

and the new kid hasn’t showed up yet with the parts…

 

He got a email a week ago about this, 2 emails yesterday and a phone call from me and still not here on time

 

dont ya love that!

 

is that the marine engine?

 

4am start to do 30 mins of work now im waiting till 6am to be able to do anything else. Fun

 

I've never seen it in a boat application but I don't see why it couldn't work. I'm familiar with it cause Bobcat used it in their skid steer line and we used it at work to power our concrete loop saw. Regretfully this version isn't made new anymore because it doesn't pass tier 4 emissions
