1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

All my plants are certainly struggling :/

 

Went up into the attic to get some baby supplies down, our big plastic storage bins are literally melting up there.

 

Do they look like a Salvador Dali painting?

 

I got a message on there from a guy named Andre Walker. Turns out he is Oprah Winfrey's hairdresser.

This needs the song. Splash splash by Bobby Darrin @Ozark_RegCab I'm a little more graceful with my entrance.

Don't forget you still have stuff to pick up

 

@Abeyancer

Wila is a big name in the press brake industry, yet check this bad boy out

 

Ordered a set of Cooper ST Maxx for the double cab. 265/75R16 that run large at 32". Hopefully they stay balanced and give me less trouble than the KO2s did.

 

A lot of us ran ST Maxx with no issues.

They grip like crazy that's for sure.

 

Yeah I like them on my flatbed in 255/85R16. Would've gone that size on this truck if it was manual. But the auto needs all the help it can get.

 

i'm equally curious about that note

 

Oof, it's a 4 cylinder?

V6 had no issue pushing that size.

 

I'm watching it; some people are saying the guy exceeded the tonnage it's meant for.

Others say it was manufacturing.

Waiting for the OP to chime in.

 

Daaaaaaaammmmnnn either that heat treat was fucked or they hooked it up to a press with way too many tons behind it lol

 

So my 04 is a V6 auto 4.10 geared double cab I 4WD swapped. Engine has good compression and drives like every other healthy 5VZ auto I've driven. Which means cruise control is just not an option with any headwind or significant grade hill. The ETCS-i hybrid system seems to make the issue even worse than an older auto truck.

The truck constantly downshifts, returns to normal, and downshifts again. it's a really jarring experience and makes for worse fuel economy. Reacting faster than the computer when approaching a hill helps but then why even have cruise control. Meanwhile my V6 4.10 geared manual flatbed will hold cruise up almost any hill/grade in Texas besides towards El Paso or the hill country. On larger tires, lower engine compression, and equivalent weight. Would be nice if I could eventually afford a regear, supercharger, and haltech to fix my 04.

 

@eon_blue

WTF



Offensive word like "Ford" or "Jeep"

 

They are heavy for a skinny 33. Only come in E load. But I love em. Would have gone with them for the 4runner if they weren't priced like precious metal now.

 

Haha what...that dude is nuts anyway, selling a 3rd gen that doesn't run because he's tired of trying to figure out why, and he wants $17k for it. I mean it could be a steal or it could be a $17k paper weight but you'd think he'd put a little more effort into describing the problem if he really wanted that kind of money for it

 

I'd kill for a C/D load 33 skinny on 16" wheels. Running an E for size convenience is sad.

 

Could be a multitude of things too, from the engine just killing itself off as evidence by the engine failure thread.

Or, and this is just my guess, the owners were stupid about it and neglectfully brought it to its demise.
