1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I don't have a matching wheel otherwise I probably would so I could also do a 5 tire rotation, but as long as my spare is the same size I'm ok. Some people get bigger tires then don't get the same size spare which makes for an issue when you need it (been there)

STMaxx were so damn expensive even 3 years ago when I last got mine, when I went for the spare I just asked for their cheapest 255/85r16 AT tire (which was also a Cooper and not cheap, but not as $$$ as the STMax)

 

Yea that is a really nice thing about going with lil baby tires. Cost of 5 is still less that the cost of four 31x10.5s

 

Primered yesterday, paint today

Should come out really good once it's all dry

 

That's what I came up with over the weekend, anyways while looking at axle options for my green truck lol. 79-85 yota perch width was same as 8.8 and Tacomas should be the same as 95 down as well

 

@Wulf since I know you watched it too.... everytime I hear a Reese's commercial I hear Bojack... and someone animated it

The turbo Tacoma YouTube series I've been watching today actually found the same conclusion. The 8.8 dropped right in, but sadly a different lug setup.

 

The one Tom did? That's a pretty nice build.

 

Bojack would absolutely make a commerical about it

 

if you go with an f150 axle motive and nitro have drop in 6 lug shafts that are $100~ ea

edit: oh wait those the funky Ford 6 lug pattern and not 6x5.5

 

Yeah I was enjoying it up until he got to the wiring and steering part. Made me question if I can stomach that part. I think that I am capable to do such a big project, but certainly would be a huge undertaking. I will have to start making some calls to find an engine I suppose.

Having a 5lug rear isn't terrible. Plenty of options in that size for a drag setup.

 

Little man's second appointment

 

I saw another one for sale today at a gas station. Red.
Feel like the universe is speaking...

 

Walking out this morning after the rain kinda sucked lol. I mean, it still looked way better than it did but still, that day one after the cleaning is great.
Need to get new rubber on that AMG sir!

 

All ok or just routine?

 

Routine check up, he's 3 weeks old as of 2 days ago.

 

The latest hemmings has a lot of British going on too

 

I've ordered it. But certainly running out of options when it rains when the AMG is unsafe and the rover is still in the shop.
