1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Wanna meet me somewhere with some dogs this weekend?

 

Wheelers (er, Trail Gear) going all JBA on us with the jesus crap too now

 

I'm going to have to draw a pentagram on all my TG parts now

 

I was in a serious time crunch this week to get these icons and Camburgs rebuilt for a friend wheeling trip this weekend. Made the best use of my lunch break today. Finished them up in the bed of my truck.

 

4:10 book of tons and 40s
Thou shalt not crawl without tons and 40s for it is a sin
No, over Landers against me shall prosper

 

Saith the lifted 2wd SRunner...

 

I made it better

Lady Gaga finally molted



Explains why I hadn't seen her in a few days and why she's been trying to strike whenever I gave her water

(Don't mind the dark discoloration, it's just wet from being soaked so I could lay it out flat)

 

That and my heart was racing as I heard her strike hard like a MFer when I tried to carefully remove her molt

She's the only damn thing that scares me in this lifetime

 

This was just after her last molt, which was in August of last year



So she went damn near 14 months before molting again

 

The AMG is a brute force type of event. The mini felt raw and delicate so I get what you mean. Speed is fun but there's something more visceral about driving a mini in the canyons.

Sadly this weekend is currently booked for me.

In other news I got up close to my 4runner project. Seems like a decent starter. 156k miles, 4x4, center diff lock, V6 truck. Need RMS done and it is PUKING. I think the sway bar bushings are shot since it makes some noises in the front suspension. But those should be easy fixes. Only difference I see from a first gen is having to drop the exhaust. Needs a thorough cleaning but I think we can make this work.


Paint is wrecked on the hood, roof and door so need to figure that out. Once cleaned up should be able to flip for a couple grand pretty easy. Bought for only $5.5k.

 

Needs more cow bells

 

I dig it, I'll take 2

 

@Speedytech7 im torn on doing the a340 in my 01.. or just going manual... but i came across this... now im thinking the a340 isnt a terrible idea..

Yeah, you can control it directly. It can't fix the thing being very power hungry but it can make it more enjoyable to drive still. I think if you're only going to have the supercharger as a power adder the manual will net you a more fun rig. If you're gonna go higher power then you could really turn it into a missile with a tuned auto.

 

for now supercharger only.. but i overbuilt the motor.. so a turbo may happen.. no idea

 

I've been working on making an all in one trans control harness for an 02 taco, takes a few extra components but I guess we will see what it's good for probably after this winter.

 

Your truck has been on hold so long they came out with another SC and turbo builds are damn near common haha. Maybe if you keep saying you'll get around to it they'll have released a TRD nitrous fogger too hahah

 

potato

 

yea. believe it or not.. things are coming together for the 01.. just really lack on posting about it because its all months between updates.. but im genuinely trying to have it running by end of summer next year... maybe sooner.. but im still waiting on a few things to get done for the body...
