1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I love the 80s but I think I want the V8 and the refinement of the 100....i know I know. Sheesh I think I paid 18k for the 99 I built up in 2008 I think? Had the locker and rear air and 30k miles and bone stock and no body work and all original panels and almost perfect. Maybe it was 2010? And maybe I paid more but I really doubt it knowing me. I waited to find the one I wanted but a price I wanted. What a shame on the current pricing. We need a gas price crisis to give us a hand

 

Ive seen some cost alot. Idk what he used. Remember they mark up what they paid for it

 

Yeah they kinda took you for a ride it sounds like. But just FYI most of them do mark the parts up anywhere from 50 to 100% markup. This helps them cover the cost of a new one if they end up having to warrant it for you. You get a warranty right? 90 day or a year or something?

 

Lmao lololol

 

me every time I work on my trucks

 

I like them, the 470 and 460. But I dunno, I admit I'm biased to the true Land Cruiser. And I need it's prices to go down.
The other parts of the world can't believe that we can get Cruisers so cheap here, they die

 

I'm sure I'd roll around laughing then. Don't know why it's so funny, but I just accept that it is I still remember the old friend that got me into working in my own stuff and then rebuilding engines when he'd slam his fingers or whatever: HIJO DE MIL PUTAS, LA RE-CONCHA DE TO RE-PUTA MADRE!!!
Oh I would die laughing so hard and he would when I'd hurt myself Lmfao oh the good ol days

 

@Wulf

Best I could do using just a mouse, my wacom tablet is broken...camo one came out kind of funky

 

I get it that they mark it up but holy shit! Or it be made of gold...

Hmm, I'll have to ask about a warranty. Good call. And if that POS craps out in 91 days or 366 days, I'm going postal!

 

Are any of your guys running Toyota Techstream for PC? I think I have a VAG COM OBDII to USB cable like the one in the video that might work.

I've used one of these software programs to reprogram chip keys and run power balance tests on the other cars.

It's handy if you have this software already installed before you have a problem and find you need it.

I haven't even looked into it since I just assumed it was ridiculous expensive computers and programs and stuff. I'll have to check this out

 

hahahaha you said VAG

 

bby these are hawt, I think red or white are my favorites

 

Ooooohhhhh that's how all that stuff is adjusted or changed on the key fob presses and that stuff??? Sounds ignorant but I didn't know that

 

yeah I wasn't sure about the white until I put it on there, looks pretty clean plus it'll hide all the trail abuse better lol

 

@Wulf I really dig how unique those wheels are

 

they say light colors hide dents and wrinkles better, after all. Plus I could throw some ivan stewart style stripes on there to break it up

 

thanks man! I dig em too. They collect complements everywhere, I think I'm the first to run them on a 1st gen that I know of. Then @JasonLee had to copy me with the same but darker FJ wheels

 

And I ain't never used it on a VAG yet..

 

The dude in the video posts a picture of the cable he bought.
