1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Just checking in here. I've been buried at work and I don't see it letting up for a couple of months.

Late yesterday, I purchased the LX 470 that I had looked into earlier in the week. The price was right (I think) at $3,500. I have a lot of work to do to bring this one back. Engine and drive train are solid. It just has a number of (strange to me) issues that I haven't seen before on any of my other cars. This will be another mid-life refresh project. Though, much slower moving than the Tacoma due to my current workload.

Stepper motor issues with the instrument cluster gauges. I picked up a supposed working replacement on eBay.

Tilt and telescopic steering does not work. I suspect that need to replace the electric motors. I need to fix the motor to tilt the wheel out of the way to get to the instrument cluster. I need to chase down part numbers for the motors. How could both go out at the same time?

Steering rack. It needs a new rack. I can get a new LC100 rack for $475 at McGeorge. I understand changing the rack is one hell of a job.

The AHC Suspension stuff works. I will convert it to a lift someday.

Bumpers - To be replaced with some ARBs or the likes.

The pearl paint is good and should last. It needs a good wax job.

 

Thank you!

 

Have no idea - my kid jacked up the samsung one we had. Check with @Empty_Lord, @Kwikvette - one other I can't recall specifically who is an A/V guy. I guess stick with LG since that is the TV you have but the A/V fanatics will have more to say.

 

The DS CB nut stripped the thread and the DS came apart today

 

this showed up... yeah yeah, I use Toyota BELTS. Time to resolve that noise and also clean the TB.

 

Just get some nice Bookshelf speakers

 

RIP Lenny Pepperbottoms

 

Wow, I've never noticed a set for sale. Those just scream high end quality

 

Niiiiiiiiice find, and that might be the least I've seen a hundred series sell for, that wasn't wrecked. Nice nice find. Excited to keep up with this one

 

No idea.
How are the comps for your area?

 

This actually fits the usual for me. Two times Ive gotten there to just see a cab on the ground. One time was just a frame.

 

Do you require a soundbar?

They all sound like junk considering you have small speakers trying to replicate a dynamic soundstage.

+70% of cinema audio is played from your center channel, and is the workhorse in any surround sound system; this is why a lot of quality home theater setups use 3 front speakers vs 2 front and 1 center

Sorry I can't help with a soundbar but if you ever decide to step up from that, tag me.

 

That sucks but it's funny like in a cartoon kinda way... Like it's almost unbelievable lolol

Are we friends on Facebook?

 

Nice! That's exactly what I was looking for including the color but no luck. At least nothing under 10k. So I settled for the GX470 and even that wasn't the color I wanted but a color I still like (silver). Can't wait to see what you do to it.

 

I don’t need fancy. Just something nicer then tv speakers for movies ane gameing

 

Is that a nice way of telling him 'hey homeslice, skip the sound bar stuff'

 

I sent you a friend request the other day cause you kept popping up in my suggested
