1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I think I nailed it
Just took it on a quick mile loop on the highway, wheel was straight and it tracked pretty good
Tedious as hell for sure but wasn’t too bad using a bit of string and a tape measure. Got it within ~1/16th across the wheel

Truck drives wayy different now, going to take some getting used to

 

It's a good skill to build. I've got a double check mine as soon as this pickup is out of my shop. On the bright side the fresh 3RZ and wiring harness we made for it started on the first key bump.

 

Probably feels way better without the control arm shifting all over and all the other issues you've knocked out of the system recently. Ive got some pretty bad wear so I'll need to give it another go. I've had the same guy try and get it right 3 times and another shop did it once but still having issues. Might need to swap out the All-Pro UCA's for some SPC cause at this point I think It needs Jesus (or at least the dvd).

 

Here's a trick I learned, set all the alignment cams straight up than with the wheel centered try to get the drivers side tire straight as possible by eye

Count the exposed threads on the inner tie rod and match that to the other side

It'll be pretty close

 

A 4x4 Tacoma for 2500 bucks... it has character too

 

Gently used, never been Offroad and all scheduled maintenance performed ahead of schedule

 

"Character"....like going to look at house listed as "charming"

 

I still miss Symbian.
That's all I got.

 

And it's already set up to tow a gooseneck

Yeah all the bushings actually staying in place, plus actually having caster is totally different
Steering is so much lighter and actually centers now. Although the lighter steering has amplified another issue I thought I might have been having with my brakes before, I had noticed before some slight rightward pulling during heavy braking and thats definitely gotten worse now. It never ends lol

 

Except I married the right one and we both enjoy a little frank the tank partying from time to time. We've been doing Irish Car Bombs for weeks now cause we still have Jameson and Carolans from St. Patty's.

 

It was a complete car before a tornado carried it away and dropped it in a field. One of the front wheels and a strut were found in the field. The rest of the vehicle has not been seen since.

 

Tundra brake swap time?

 

Wow!

 

Definitely on the table

 

Let me know if you find a good 3RZ in a field.

Tornadoes are wild.

 

So worth it! That was one of the first mods I did.
