1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I normally go there for other shit so I completely forgot that's where they carried them. Just need a 12mm but I'll say fuck it and buy a set.

Thinking some time right after Christmas I'd like to get everything done and finally install my steering damper that's been new in box since January?

 

@Speedytech7

Hoping I won't have to use it but I added the Power Steering emergency plug to my order earlier.

Just need to get some ATF; you recall how many gallons of coolant the LC takes? I've got 2 gallons on tap.

 

Yeah its like 16q total for my bus trans, it's a bit less for yours, 8q is probably enough for a drain and fill

 

Good shit

Oh and also added belts too cause I mean, two get removed so I figured I'd put new ones in place when I reinstall stuff. At $20 for all 3 OEM belts why not?

 

I promise your belts will be loud unless you buy the matched pair from Toyota. The aftermarket ones sound like a lame supercharger. Oh and get a new belt idler

 

The alternator belt set comes in a pack of two - 80 Series 1FZ Complete Belt Kit (TDB-3KIT) (absolute-wits-end.com)

 

Oh okay, those are the matched ones. Good

 

Yeah good call on the belts. I do the same shit and throw the old ones under the seat or in the glove box for hopefully never

 

That's what that noise is? I test drove one a long time ago and was disappointed when i popped the hood lmao

 

Zane will tell you, you'll be lucky if both are installed.

If one goes, people are too lazy (or dumb) to just pull the other and install a new pair.

 

Yep!

I mean, you remember my center console...I could put a back-up power steering pump, gallon of coolant, small bottles of other fluids, few Red Bulls, and some coke

 

Yeah, pretty much all aftermarket v belts are ribbed on the underside and when you are running duals there's always gonna be one longer than the other and that means it squeals on the pulleys and rubs the idler more with the ribbed side... Making the infamous cruiser whirring noise.

 

CHP tuning in now

 

My console has that secret compartment

 

And he still can't get his bumper done

 

It's easier doing stuff for others than myself.

I did knock out and finish all the hard stuff already since I last did anything to it.

 

Wish someone could teach me bodywork.
I’ll never let this truck go, it’s never let me down. It’s sad to see it like this, Toyota arguably has the worst factory paint.

 

Forgot that’s the side with the clear coat, it’s dust on the drivers side and hood

 

What caught me off guard when I was in Vegas last week was all the ABC stores. I had a spam musubi lol
