1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

He wasn't just cheating on his wife, she was engaged herself and had kids with her fiance as I had met them at the last Christmas party

Never understood the whole work-romance relationships

 

The guy with the Cruiser said he wanted me to fix all the issues before trading, so I offered to throw cash on top. We’ll see how much he wants. I was thinking 2 grand to cover the rack, TOB, carrier bearing, etc.

It has a rear locker, so surely it’d be more capable than my truck. I’d definitely be winning the trade, so I hope I can make it happen.

 

See...if you only type half of what you intend to say in every other post, you wouldn't start this kind of crap again

 

What crap? I would just think a locked truck with true 4wd (or 3wd) would always win.

 

I'd take a bone stock Taco over even a lightly modded and single locked 100

 

Tacoma would surely be much more agile for sure (and more fun)

 

You'll say something, that is just cool on its own

But then you sprinkle that "..be more capable if" or "not as strong as" and all that other comparative crap

Just get the 100 series if you want it, but it seems as if you're always having to justify anything and everything you say or do; do what makes you happy

Your old post way back on FB about trading your 80 series for a Tacoma is perfect example of this

 

Not over an 80 tho right?

 

Stock for stock no, but I think the taco is more fun to drive though.

 

If I had two drivers we could test my 80 against my truck. Truck has a locker, 80 has two. Truck flexes better in the rear, 80 better in the front. Truck can leave the 80 a county behind on rough terrain but the 80 might have better creepy crawling abilities in the rocks (dunno with its tires). The truck is a comfy swiss army knife, the 80 is comfy on road and can probably do anything you ask it but I'm not in the business of asking it much anymore because it was cheaper to build my truck to be better than it at what I like to do. Also I hate camping out of an SUV.

 

@Ozark_RegCab let's talk about something cool, when's your next outing?

 

Take the two grand and buy a locker

 

ECGS can ship him one ready to bolt in for less

 

I'd love to run your rig, but having owned both I can certainly agree about many of those points

I don't think I can drive the 80 series quickly off-road, but it finesses over rocks easily

Freaking 4Runner was so controlled at speeds while off-road; felt like a good compromise between a Tacoma and an 80 series

Should've done a leaf pack on the rear 4R

 

I’d be interested to see that as well. Maybe @Kwikvette could drive the 80. How does the Taco have better flex in the rear with the leafs? I thought that was the 80’s strong point.

 

There's a whole axle in Vegas rn for 850

 

ARBs are a little cheaper, but I’d still prefer an Eaton so I could use the OEM locker dial from a Land Cruiser.

 

If I go to Vegas with $850 I’m not spending it on an axle.

 

Why though
