1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

You forgot to tag @BartMaster1234 on this. seams like something Tyler would be into.

 

I think we just make a pact that we do not help with the inevitable million questions.

Yes and no. Roads are pretty rough, but the interstates are good, and endless mustangs and chargers would be a temptation. I don't know how people enjoy sports cars here, the roads beat you up.

 

I need help with my brakes though

 

I think you are OK, your not trying to buy another LC. People will help you.

 

There will be a million questions hah

jus kidding, ima start lookin for a write up

 

If you get frustrated and want to give up just send that axle my way. Ill put it to good use on the white truck.

 

dans guide should apply, Toyota drums are pretty much all the same since the 70s

I can't imagine the shipping on that

 

I heard that diesels are reliable. Never heard of a French import (FDM?) LC though.

It would be cheaper for me to drive out there.

 

Yes but you actually can think. You would ask if a bolt is a 12mm or 14mm. We would tell you for example it's a 14mm and you would then proceed. Nick would ask the same question, we would answer 14mm, then he would ask why the flathead screw driver isn't working like he read about in Facebook.

 

More like why'd the alloy composition change for the bolts after 2006 models, and if there's correlation with the brake calipers having issues after that year or if it's simply coincidence

He read about the issue when a guy took his Tacoma out to Moab, and the brakes were giving him fits

 

Anyone have a recommendation on some sort of single wire electrical connector plugs? Hopefully a single type that would work for 14-18ga? Want to put a couple into my wiring so that disconnecting stuff doesn't require cutting and recrimping connections. Rather get something solid and waterproof that clips in like an oem plug would instead of just like spade connectors or wire nuts

 

Most of the aftermarket lights seem to be using Deutsch connectors these days.


Not recommending these (they aren't waterproof), but you just gave me flashbacks to my hobby r/c days...

 

That's what always holds me back from small and sporty, the roads here. Just got back from a nearly week long trip up the coast on some brutal roads. Potholes like kiddie pools.

 

This might be a long shot since most of you seem to be tired of hearing about this, but would anyone be willing to hop on a video call while I inspect the 100 series more throughly later today or tomorrow?

 

I'd offer, but I don't know any 100 series specific information that would be of any use

Only stuff I do for any vehicle purchase in general

Most of my advice was provided as far as negotiating and you didn't use it
