1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

It's Friday everyday

 

I don't work Fridays so my Friday was yesterday

 

Nice!

I used to hate working especially on weekends when everyone else and their mother is off.

 

The school district I work for switched to 4 day weeks so at least I get Fridays to go do shit that's not open on weekends now

 

Dude that's even more convenient; running errands on a weekend sucks cause everyone's out at the same time.

For me, I'm just used to old people out in public or on the roads since it's just retired folk M-F from morning until early afternoons anyway

 

Although, they drive slow AF so that's really the only inconvenience I run into.

 

Good to know, they seem like a pretty cool thing to have around! Tempted to add that to my house renovation list...

 

Both my parents were teachers and I was horrified when I got older and realized that not all jobs give you 4 months off a year

 

How's it working out? I hope the 4 day catches on, its a slow burn right now but seems to making some progress.

 

I think the HR lady and student information system manager both hate it. But staff overall seems positive about it and seems kids like it too. Makes some sport event scheduling a bit odd but nothing too bad.

I'll need to find a not-so-big box but, you want that skid for $35?

You pay shipping, once I find a long but narrow box.

You'll need to cut and weld your own bar between the mounting plates for the rear mount but that's it.

It's becoming an eyesore in the garage but it's too nice to toss.



Rear frame mount bolts as well as carriage bolts included; front of the plate utilizes your existing t-case skid plate bolts

 

Sure thing dude, I have to tear into my case soon actually to fix the actuator. Maybe it can be the base of a package to safely ship the crt too.

 

Had thought about that as well

That'll turn into one heavy box though

 

Just don't work

Wife's a teacher so yeah, it's crazy how much time off she has

But also how crazy how much time is spent after hours for school-related stuff (even at home)

 

To the 1st gen gurus in this thread. Does anyone know if this T case and transmission are worth anything?

Transmission is bad, out of a 1st gen Tacoma. T-case is Japanese spec. T case should be good.

The owner found a JDM trans/T-case. So we swapped his T-case onto the JDM trans. My boss is about to scrap this stuff, in So Cal.

 

Tcase is worth $150-$220, trans is worth whatever aluminum scrap is going for locally.

 

Thank you!

 

Ordered me some table clamps, now we wait

 

Hmm...wonder what Taco shocks would be close to factory-equivalents for the GX.

Going to post up about doing a straight trade for my Billy 5100 fronts for some stockers; I hate the squatted rear and don't care for Bilstein shocks anyway.

I'll probably grab some ADS in the later future.
