1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Only got a 27.5 lyrik and 29 recon

 

I grew up with a mother that was all about healthy food, parents are both vegans now after Dad had his second heart attack. I won't lie and say I eat only healthy things, but I don't eat a lot and I make sure I get veggies and protein in equal measure. Not trying to end up on a table to get my arteries roto-rootered if I can avoid it.

 

I kinda miss Fry's in AZ, it had decent stuff and Kroger prices weren't insane.

 

Ugh I used to make excuses for myself just to go to Fry's in San Jose

Crazy thing is they had two out there, and they were huge

I miss those stores

 

In fact I think I gave Tyler something when we met up at Fry's for the first or second time. That's when I first saw his freshly welded on sliders

 

On another note, so far everything sounds good about this single cab I'm interested in.

4.88s with a 4 cylinder is definitely gonna make it slow though but it'll be fun to climb with. At least it's a 5 speed.

 

Yea, my cholesterol levels are a little whack. It has been trending down the past year and half, so doing better. They wanted to experiment on meds to help lower it, but again I had a negative reaction. Trying to get into a gastroenteritis is like pulling teeth. Not to mention i have United Healthcare which is a dumpster fire in itself.

All my stupid shit in my 20s have caught up...

 

Put some 35s under it it'll drive fine.

Or fine some factory 4.10 or 4.30 (if you want 31" tires) or 4.56 (if you want 33" tires) diffs to swap in and sell your 4.88 for $1000.

 

Oh I'm not complaining, just that I've never driven a 1st Gen geared that way.

If I get this truck, I'll be leaving all that alone as the goal is wheeler/metal supply picker-upper

 

Speaking from driving 4.30 and 31" tires, I doubt you'll want to go much faster than 70mph with 4.88 and 31", but as long as you stay off the interstate it'll be a hoot.

 

It's got 33's

I'll never run 31's and maybe not even 32's

Had 32's on the Tacoma but that only had 4.10 gearing whereas the 33's on the 4Runner were a nice step up in size

Fortunately my metal supplier is about 12-13mins away so it isn't very far

 

yup, for tearing around town it will be a good time

 

You and @BartMaster1234 will have matching wheels.

 

I thought you were waiting out for a v6

 

Much harder to find in general - I just say I'd like one but we all know they only made them for the first two years

Those I did find were out of state, and being in CA means I shouldn't have to bother with some rusted up junk

 

I know of a couple around here if ya wanna patch a frame

 

Yeah I'm not finding any right now
Shoulda snagged that one I sent you a few months back

 

Yeeeeah, I've spent plenty of money these last few months already for more important things

 

Is there really anything more important in life than a 1st gen

 

Let's see, plasma cutter, fab tables, press brake, CNC table, artificial grass, extended patio (concrete)

Just under $20k lately
