1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

4Runner forum blowing up like

"NEW 4R OWNR, WUTS THE BIGEST TYRE I CAN FIT NO LYFT NO RUB THX"

 

Did you guys check the LBJs yet?

 

Naw, that's an automatic call for replacement.

Too easy and quick to replace lowers so he'll just need to decide if he goes 4Runner LBJ's or switch to Tacoma LBJ's along with Tacoma TRE.

I installed Tacoma TRE and LBJ's on my old 4Runner before getting rid of it.

 

I meant for the drive back but yea that sounds like a plan. I’ve been considering the heavy duty NAPA cvs for mine.

 

hehe fortunately they look good on 31- 33s and do great off-road if you get some sliders to keep everything away from the body

 

I dunno insurance is only $40 a month more now, but if both become money pits then I'll be inclined to lessen the burden on myself lol

Sofia gets in the T4R this morning and without any provocation goes 'this truck smells funny'





But then I remembered I took my hockey gear out of the truck bed and threw it in the back of the runner, forgot to take out overnight

 

Yup. Just replace them for peace of mind. Have a friend asking me if he REALLY needs to replace his or if it’s just been overblown by forum trolls.

I’ve taken to sending him the image below every time he asks lol.

 

OEM

Just stick with them, you won't even push them to their limit

 

33s for sure; though it makes it look a bit like a Tonka toy

 

I'm sure he knows

He's had a Tacoma far longer than I have

 

Don't forget you can roll down that back window

 

100%. I just can’t get over how much of a debate the topic is over in the 1st gen section still. Over a decade of threads warning people.

 

I've replaced the LBJs at least 4 times in 7 years on the taco, yes I know lol. I don't see records of them on this runner so that will be a priority

 

I should probably replace the ball joints on my Land Cruiser since we're on the subject

 

But a best gen 4runner is supreme

 

That makes me think I should exchange my LBJs at advance lol

They have 8k mi on them with a ton of wheeling.


I suspect the Ford is due soon lol, just keep kicking that one since it's not a catastrophic failure point

 

I am not worthy

 

Ugh. That's sexy as hell.

For me, I'd gladly daily an '85 4R but it might be a bit loud and obnoxious for a family...

You getting rid of yours?

 

Might as well upgrade

 

You've just disturbed the 1st gen force
