1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Whatever they are they’re probably stronger than the stuff we have. I couldn’t believe how thick the frame was. I’m pretty sure they came with Dana 60s too.

 

Bet they're still thinner than mine because I swapped mine for 5/8 thick u-bolts

 

I didn’t even know u bolts could be a weak point tbh

 

Seriously tho idk why more people don’t wheel these things. The driveline looks heavier duty than a Land Cruiser.

 

I just bought the bigguns so I could reuse them safely. Ive spent a lot of time fine tuning leafs packs, not trying to buy new u-bolts Everytime I try a new combo. The taco ones and parts store ones are tiny and stretch too easy. I've seen the parts store ones strip and snap just from torquing to spec.

 

Cause diesel engines are heavy AF

Shit about to go down

 

Have you ever rode in one?

 

It's huge, unless you're into redneck wheeling (mud pits and slop) then they don't have much of a place as a wheeler. Have to bob the fuck out of the bed, and then they also ride way too tall when lifted. Plus the weight even unloaded is going to require really expensive shocks to control even half ass okay. It's like using a pneumatic impact where a screwdriver would do the job just fine.

 

I was always more of an unreal tournament guy

 

Yea it was like a pogo stick.

 

I’ve seen some at Moab, but yea I guess they are a little big for Arkansas or the PNW. It’d be cool to see one at Johnson Valley or the Hammers tho.

 

You should wheel a Prius

 

The 6BT is 1000 lbs lol. The 12HT and 1HDFT can’t be much lighter tho

 

They do make lift kits for them

 

Why do you think diesel variants of a truck have an estimated 500lbs of payload less than their gas counterparts?

 

You could go over speed bumps just fine

 

Making snow globes of the kids for Rebecca for Xmas from them.... First one came out pretty good, just hoping the ornament doesn't get all water logged and ruined eventually lol. Probably will

 

Why did I post a picture of a boat... well sometime around 2009 my Dad and I drove down to Redding, CA to buy this boat. A boat that had been recently repainted and gelcoated... the colors, Toyota Medium Red and Toyota Anthracite Grey... the exact same color scheme my Land Cruiser is done up in. Just a funny coincidence, that happened over a decade apart.

 

Finally said fuckit and put the LS into the Tacoma.



So I could move it to storage. Maybe one day I'll get to realize this dream...
