1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I technically still have a lifetime Firestone alignment deal for my Tacoma, but I haven't used it in years...the place I did go to initially didn't care about the aftermarket suspension but then started saying that they couldn't do it anymore, which was funny because they sold it to me knowing it had aftermarket parts on it. Pretty sure they just did toe and go's anyway, was worth the extra money to have a competent shop do it

 

Because I am a very dumb smart person, I am considering a 3d printed mold setup and diy glass...

 

Barely smaller, I think they match 2nd gen 4runners and last-gen pickups.

That sounds like hell, I hate working with glass, repaired a boat once and that was enough. Might as well do carbon if you're already wasting that much time and effort

 

Huh, well I'll be fucked. That's a fun little piece of trivia, guess I should be glad the ones in my first truck weren't siezed.

 

Same but mine shows up with more goodies or armor every time I come in and I’m starting to get the “we didn’t sign up for this” vibe The manager already told me it probably won’t be honored if he ever leaves the store.

They won’t touch the adjustable UCAs anyways, so probably time to move on.

 

The raw material cost is still very different... Probably hybrid weave.

I still have all my stuff from making lacross sticks and seats a few years back.... Well shit 14 years back.

Definitely considering it, but also may just buy glass, because time.

 

Thanks for the tip, I never caught that! Kits are not that expensive but I’d rather put some cash in a friendly’s pocket!

 

Yeah I'm surprised it doesn't come up more often, I only know thanks to a local guy with a 95.5 that went through it when he tried installing kpo cams
Doesn't matter if you cut off the old tabs though

 

Glass is relatively cheap and if you don't get Fiberworx it might actually fit worth a shit. If I did it again I'd get Hanneman or Advanced Fiberglass Concepts

 

Its the single instance I know of where a company putting 96-04 instead of 95.5-04 might actually be relevant and not a typo lol

It makes telling 95.5 owners that 96-04 always applies to them difficult knowing in the back of my head about this tiny difference

 

Yeah, the asvanced is only 3in over on the sheet metal tho, not from the flare.

I do like how it looks.

 

I’ll have @time623 teach me after his figures it out on his!

 

Idk if I'd trust that guy

 

I have the ones that are the exact width of 01-04 fenders with stock flares. Just looks cleaner on an old truck with no flares and obviously has more rise and an arch shape that allows more tire movement.

 

They should be the same price as a gallon of gas or milk. Does this mean those are going up?

 

@Bandido

You've done some pretty cool modeling on Fusion, did you only learn on Fusion or have you used other applications like Solidworks?

 

@01x4 These are dropping in price. A nice 2023 GX is bringing as much or more money.

 

I thought the egg thing was because of the bird flu wiping out a bunch of chickens back in December?

or maybe

Now, hoarding took over.
