1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

@Ozark_RegCab Have you been following the Cruiser Crawl posts? This is so true to form for a Hot Springs Cruiser off-road weekend party.

I remember a couple years ago when the LX570 still had dealer tags. We passed eccentric two counties ago.

@01x4 That looks like a custom built Gamiviti rack.

 

Land Cruiser the looonng way

 

Don’t worry about it. I won’t be asking for advice in the internet again.

 

There's a difference between asking for it and actually following it

 

Idk, just wanna get rid of this thing and be done with it.

 

Today should be the last 100 degree day

 

For what like 5 months maybe haha. I think this week is our last in the 70s though too, cooling off finally.

 

5 months is probably too optimistic lol

 

Unless there are other issues you need someone to talk to about (being serious), a truck with a few hiccups is peanuts compared to what life can really throw at you

 

I'm starting a full re-wire of my truck... this is not a fun activity It's also a damn expensive one

 

In this case I did follow it actually, and I’m gutted that I don’t have my 100 series, but that’s neither here nor there. This whole thing has made me realise I need to stop seeking affirmation and validation from strangers on the internet, and just make my own decisions and live with the consequences.

 

The latest thing is I feel like my clutch is going out. Hopefully I can actually work on it at my new apartment. I should be able to bench press the R150 under the truck to access the clutch.

 

Take the t-case off first or it'll come down and crush your nuts. It weighs about the same as the trans but is much more dense.

 

True, you should absolutely make your own

But you dodged a bullet

 

Snow on Wednesday here. We have been in the mid 70s the last month and its been great not having to run the heater yet.

 

I have today off and scheduled for about an hour from now. I was under the impression most Discount Tire locations used road force balancing but now that I've looked up what the machine looks like maybe mine doesn't have one. I'll check when I get there.

They spun just my wheels on the machine last time and were sure I didn't have a bent/warped wheel. I have a friend with a slightly off Method as well so that was what I initially assumed my issue was as well. I have a new in box F5 if it really is a wheel...

 

Not all of them have it, hunter has a thing on their website for finding places that have one of their road force machines

 

Someone revved straight piped Corvette exhaust into the mechanics office this morning. As if I needed anymore brain damage ugh.

 

So the location I scheduled with isn't listed on the Hunter site but I called and they said they have a machine. The other location in town is listed but those guys lose my tire lug key every time I go.

The guy on the phone said "well man those S/T Maxx tires are super aggressive" and I just told him I have a set of larger ones on another similar Tacoma that run down the highway fine. He sighed and said "wait you said the weights are distributed around the wheel and not localized to one spot?" and I told him I had clips ons and stick ons in 2-3 locations on every wheel.

He said to ask for him when I come in for my appointment. But I've returned there so many times and promised they'll fix it each and every time to no avail.

 

Don’t insult Dumb and Dumber like that.
