1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Hatch, he's older than me but for some reason is into initial D and really wanted to build that car lol

 

So now that a few of you have owned both / spent time in both. How's the comfort level of the 3rd gen Runner vs Tacoma?
@Kwikvette @eon_blue etc

 

hard for me to compare because one is so modified vs the other mostly stock. The 4runner obviously drives smoother and is way quieter...acceleration, exhaust all that. But all that stuff on my truck is modified so.

And at that moment, the 4Runner didn't have many mods I had done to it afterward.

 

Learned the hard way this morning that the T4R needs new struts for the rear hatch. Lifted it up and nearly knocked myself in the head when it fell back down. Later in the day it stays up fine when its warmer

 

Oh I forgot to mention that; when it's warmer they'll work but not when they're cold.

The LC is the same at the moment...at least for the rear gas struts.

 

Hands down, without a shadow of a doubt, my 98 base base model 4r was 1000x more comfortable and smoother than my ext cab tacoma

Both had a 5 speed and 3rz 4cyl motor

 

My dad just started doing IT stuff where I work (what is nepotism?).

pretty sure the IT department solves most problems by googling it

 

yeah I'm just gonna order some new ones, the ones on there have the part # stickers on them still

 

could you image how many improvements IT could be making if they weren't googling other people's problems all day?

 

I'm amazed it gets cold enough there

 

Riiiiiight

 

A lot of it is, you get really good at asking the right questions. Left to their own devices, people can't Google their way out of a problem, so it's up to me to fix their devices.

 

just Google the name of the printer

 

got a roof quote

Checked it out and it's inline with what I'd expect to pay based on the data available.

Anyone want to rent some climate controlled storage? i can't turn tricks anymore

 

Can't be that climate controlled if you're replacing the roof. Get a metal roof nerd

 

ChatGPT is going to change things. Not for the better unfortunately.

 

I gave him shit for wearing a jacket when we were checking out the 4R

 

Damn I didn't know you were old enough to have boomer panic over AI

 

Bruh it's gonna be a night low of 37° next Monday
