1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

And even worse when they add Tacoma in the tag lines

 

It was intentional! I really just have zero use for them, my local buddy with the diesel swapped SAS 91 pickup is the only person I hang with that has Toyota mini diffs. V6 and 4 cyl might as well be the same to me too, they go in all the same places and use the same gears... Actually now that I think about it why did Toyota bother with two different thirds, seems like a lot of effort consider the V6 trucks were just as pathetic as the 4cyl anyway. Also I like your name

 

@Wulf

Here is that V6 8", it's as questionable as I would expect.

 

Oh god, if that's how it was welded it's not long for this world

 

ty ty <3

 

The welding wire and gas used was worth more than that diff

 

This is true for most diffs after being Lincoln locked haha.

 

Might trade or sell my welds tomorrow.


Not bad for a first timer. I get it why this sucks ass. Doing this by hand.
First pic is unpolished and second is the first one I did.

2/4 done

 

Owner is wondering too haha

 

Just hangin’ on. Working, spending time with the gf, and squeezing everything else in between.

Gonna spend some time welding today, then we might tune in the superb owl.


How’s the bus business?

 

That crossmember bracket lift thread gave me a headache. Third genners are wild.

Edit: But so is that 5 lug guy in our section screaming about how he has to change his belts after 20 years but doesn't have the funds.

 

And then theres people who have decided answering 'part out' to every question is entertaining. Even a good joke gets worn out when overused.


I've gotten really liberal with my ignore list, it has made life better

 

I've got like 15 or so spare and new belts. I'd send the guy some belts but I don't think the belts are the issue, I don't think he has the tools or aptitude to put em on

 

Hmm. Its awfully nice out. Maybe we'll go find some backroads to explore today.

 

If they're fraying like he said, I suspect something might be out of alignment, or maybe an idler is wobbling.

 

Yeah, thankfully on the 3rz there's really only one important belt, the other two you can live without entirely

 

Every time I have to fix a sunroof leak I tell myself never to buy a vehicle with one even though I like the light. I often forget that when looking at cars. Bastards are a double edge sword.

 

Yeah, he said he doesn't have the tools which means you're spot on.

 

Seeing the username instantly made me imagine the OP having a punchable face.

Don't know why, but I did and it won't go away.

 

DB lift is okay on a third gen in my estimation, the drivetrain is already a turd and the body is too weirdly large and ugly. Why not ruin the frame too.
