1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

My dad has bounced back pretty damn well from the surgery and stroke. Now walking again without a cane and no balance issues. Seems my nursemaid days are coming quickly to an end. Now need to figure out where to head out to and shelter in place not in a shithole like the SF Bay Area. No offense SF Bay Area dwellers but truly, during something like this, large populations are bad m'kay

 

Alcatraz

 

But since we're stuck indoors, and BLM is closed off, I guess I can remove my RTT and put it back in storage.

 

God, Alcatraz is my trigger word.

The number one question I got asked was “Do you have any Alcatraz tickets left?”

No. No we don’t. Because they sell out faster than the Statue of Liberty. You’ve got to buy them way ahead of time.

Also, my second favorite question: “Does your bus go to Alcatraz?”

 

Can you get me an exclusive overnight tour of Alcatraz?

 

That would be totally cool

 

This could have been you

 

It’s definitely electronically actuated, but you’re right I don’t see where the actuators are or would go.

Here is a different style 1KZ manual transmission. It has a physical shifter linkage to the transfer case.

Left my truck in awd... no wonder why i was getting low mpgs

 

Ha!!! I feel the same way in Tahoe. Stupidest questions we always here are....
1. Where do you keep the Snow in the summer
2. How do I get to the bridge? I see it on the map...

 

Sneaky buggers theyre selling it without the actuator

 

Holy shit lol

 

@benewing

Here is a 1KZ-TE that came out of a Hilux. I saw it in a transmission shop in Banawe, which was the car scrapping district of Manila. Unfortunately it looks like that one was 2WD looking at the tail section.

They wanted like $3k USD for it, that one was sold to the Philippine Army.

 

That would be a world-class engineering marvel to be able to sink piles 1600' deep into the bedrock beneath the lake...or the world's most amazing true suspension bridge

 

Lol!! They seriously think that’s a bridge? I mean, it’s not as bad as the first question.

My favorite memory of Lake Tahoe was when we were boating in Emerald Bay and looking at people climbing on the hill on the tiny island inside the bay with several signs that say “NO CLIMBING”.

People really are stupid.

 

Not that I need an excuse but I'm now rummaging around for cardboard to make signs like these and do this

 

Maybe, maybe not. Because I looked at a few different styles and none of them have an exposed actuator.

 

Sure. But it’s run by the Federal Government. Have fun getting shot at.

 

I think this is what I'm going to do. People say not to get the 555 lowers though right? How do I know for real what needs replacing or not? If the boots are leaking they need replacement? That's like everything in the front end. Haha

 

that's actually lit af, I respect that lmao
