1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I have to do them whenever we do a frame swap and if already had them or the customer wanted them installed. It is what it is but I still don’t like em

 

*that moment during a pandemic when you find you do own latex gloves all because you need them for vehicle maintenance*

 

Injector swapped. 4runner is running again. Should be good for a long while now.

 

Oh and apparently I'm making myself a mask? Parts guy clerk asked me I vaguely saw a post about it somewhere yesterday...

Got some shop towels cause I want to have one stash at the apartment and another stash at the house.

Bored waiting on parts

 

That's proper.

 

$1.86 for premium here at Costco. $35 for just over 18 gallons in the 4runner. Love it.

 

Our 87 in central ga is around 1.55 per gallon

 

Stupid GM parking brake adjustment. Why the fuck is it not self adjusting?

I adjusted it so the shoes barely drag on the drum inside the rotor when it spins. Parking brake barely holds. I guess I need to adjust the shoes to drag more

Worked fine before and I haven't fucked with the cable or pedal at all.

 

Our prices are similar but diesel seems bottomed out at 2.49 for whatever reason

 

I just got back from O'Reilly. I did wear my shop gloves and took them off as soon as I got back at my truck. People were staying over 6' apart.

I need to go back later this afternoon to pick up some brake rotors. I think I'll go to Lowes next week during the day to avoid as many people as possible. I do like to order from Lowes online and pick up from service counter.

• 743 confirmed positive cases of COVID-19
• 9,822 total tests
• 9,079 negative test results
• 12 reported deaths
• 79 recoveries
• All public schools are closed until April 17

There are 40 cases in the area where I live.

 

Fingers crossed it goes back up

 

She’s a wee bit worn

 

Should probably change the one out in the Taco. Already have the Spicer/Toyota bearing off Amazon. The 4runner doesn;t have one, just a single drive shaft for the rear which is nice. I do need to get under there and lube it.

 

I'm finding that clean rust free LC100s and LX470s are a popular export item from the U.S. to Dubai. A white LX470/LC100 is a favorite used vehicle in Arab countries. Anyone can import them. There is an approximate $1,700 import duty.

Explains why I'm seeing so many 100 series parts being sold and shipped from Arab countries.



Reminds me of when one of the Saudi princes declared Buick to be the national car back in 1956.
