1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

That's the spirit hahahah
Not that my thought even matters on it, but with you I'd feel okay about you pulling off something like that SUCCESSFULLY without affecting long term reliability
Others?...... Not so much

 

might have to tbh, at least start with cleaning them out in there.

I can see a spot on the plastic up top where it is rubbing, but idk what would give 2 defined lines of tread wear down the tires in the middle lol

 

You should see how fucked up headliners show up tot the dealer. It took them 4 tries to send me a straight one for a camry

 

I try to give myself time, but sometimes crap like this happens. It's really not a lot to put back thankfully, just the timing gear, belt, covers, pwr steering brackets and pump, and accessory belts. I'm going to put the radiator back tonight and put my bumper and new wiring in. Only thing that would really trip me up is a leak. So

 

Try door panels; parts had to order a door panel 3 different times because the warranty ticket specifies ordering parts via VIN. Well the vin didn't account for 1 of 2 available stereo upgrades which meant an additional speaker grill and emblem

 

Can we talk about how many people don't get that the name Lariat means they bought the cheap one. Used to see trade ins listed as fully loaded, all options maxed, LARIAT

 

We had a strut ordered one day from
Toyota.


Inside the box was a cylinder head. That had been returned. Aka used. How the fuck did that happen?

 

King Ranch if you want bells and whistles

Its funny when people consider their cars fully loaded just cause they put in bluetooth and want way more for that reason

 

(Hub)

Hmmmm this feels a lot heavier than a strut!

Might be one of those new "heavy duty" ones

 

Is mine fully loaded? Bucket seats, Bluetooth HD radio, power windows and locks. Wireless door locks, dimming mirror. Good sound system.




Oh wait none of this helps the value of my Tundra Because the vin shows it as a base model

 

Who knows how it happened.

 

You know, it's too bad I'm not at a Toyota dealer.

We toss so many items that FCA doesn't care for IE rear ends, 3rd member, etc.

Not like I'm going to SAS with a Jeep Dana 44 axle

 

I’ve got 8 Toyota rear diffs


And some second gen shit I need to sell. Like ditch light brackets. And a 1gr tensioner​

 

Thats a fun job

 

Rare I need to fo one. Usually order the Napa bearing for the bottom idler, it fits the tensioner. Less labour and cheaper. The tensioner never go out, it’s always bad pulleys

 

Today I bought one of these Tornado Car Cleaning Air guns from an advertisement link on FB. I like the idea it uses compressed air.

Has anyone used one of these air cleaning guns?

Excuse the low grade porno background music.

Yup I did the tensioner bearing on my dads. Easy job, just went to a local industrial parts supplier and ordered the bearing.

 

Our porters use them and love em

 

So if its compressed air, isnt it just blowing all the dirt to another surface?

I like brushes and rags paired with a vacuum.

 

I want it. I'd get murdered by my roommates for having 4 vehicles.
