1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Man, the Tacoma is a thirsty bich.

 

Did you just replace the bed with one giant gas tank

 

You guys think this is worth it? Idk too much about the 4 cylinder 4runners

 

Lmaooooo email? You mean people actually use personal email addresses???
I know that feel

 

Who needs a vacation? I need a vacation!

 

For $10k it better be way low mileage

The 4runners don't hold value like the Tacomas do and it's a 4banger on top of that...at least it has the 5spd though

 

10 grand for a 22 year old bare bones base model 4 cyl? I'd think it's likely not worth 10 large. I did the kbb googles for you:

It's criminal to ask these prices.... Seriously, it's BS. I feel bad for the suckers that get doped into it

 

It drinks fuel like a dysfunctional alcoholic

 

They are probably thinking it's just like a 1st gen Taco so it should bring in the same kind of $$$...while I understand that thinking, the market doesn't reflect it. For whatever reason the 3rd gen 4runners don't hold near the same kind of resale value that the 1st gen Tacomas do unless they are fully loaded. A base model 4banger like that for $10k? no way...unless maybe it's got like 10k miles on it.

 

Thanks, I'm trying to figure out what I'm going to do about my bad exhaust valve problem. I have emissions on the 15th

 

Yeah it has like 164k

 

surely it's a cheaper fix than buying a new truck for 10 grand lol

I know the frustration though

 

yeahhh, hell no on the $10k asking price. That guy is nuts

 

Junkyard engine pull and swap? Im terrified my missfire turns out to be something like this

 

Ordered a new gas pedal and throttle cable for the LC, figured I'd just refresh everything in there. I don't even know why. Maybe I'll get a kickdown cable too

 

Probs what id do if i ended up with bad/burnt valve would be a pull and swap from junkyard. Unless u got a good shop

 

I still owe a little bit left on the truck, and it's a $3k fix. I feel like I'll be going nowhere with my payment lol was thinking about trading it in for second gen or wondering if itll be worth to keep.

 

That's an option. Maybe I can get some buddies to help. May be alot cheaper

 

Yeah the shop is good and have warranty on their work

 

How much of a DIYer are you?
Are you the V6 or 4 cyl? Can you tear it down enough to do just the valve? Or are you wanting to just put a new head on it? What are you thinking on it? And has the burnt exhaust valve already been verified?
