1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Same boat, kinda wish I hadn't thrown out my old rusty one. Piecing an oem one together from McGeorge etc is more than I thought it'd be.

 

I found a complete assembly online for about $250 from carparts.com but it isn't complete from the images, it doesn't have the painted top piece. It's not a bad deal at least I just don't know what to do about that. Maybe I'll get lucky and find one in a junkyard locally but finding any Tacoma in a yard is hard.

 

Yeah I'd been looking at the same site, seems like they do different combos

I saw a few on Amazon as well.
Funny how that damn top piece by itself is like $125 oem.
(Carparts has it separate too https://www.carparts.com/details/Toyota/Tacoma/Replacement/Bumper_Trim/2001/T040303.html )

 

I chiseled a lil bit out so I could clean the gasket surface. Made sure the EGR valve is closed, bolted it together. And the bitch runs smooth as ever. I'm so excited to test drive it later lol

 

Fuck yea! Well done

I like engines that I can fix with a hammer, a 12mm wrench, and a screwdriver

Wow, that shows the importance of throttle control and not just flooring it up a technical slippery hill climb and hoping for the best.

 

Really could've been done with more finesse and less skinny pedal, but maybe it's a timed event thing or something.

Kind of like that rock garden setup we've seen lots of times where people bomb through in their rigs; last one posted was a Tundra, and before that an FJ Cruiser or two.

Yea that was crazy. He basically destroyed that truck. The frame is probably all bent now.

 

More money than sense.

I would give zero fucks if it was a beater/toy that carried a salvage title though.

This is the weird shit I like watching

 

Jambo Ha! I was in the crowd of screaming people at the end of the course filming what I could.

 

@Wulf

You're right, people just offloading their toys

$6200 gets you a Pick Up, reman'd 22RE, solid axle, with clean (surface rust) frame

 

85 was a good year.
