1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

good stuff thanks. The other issue I ran into around here was finding metric size M8 bolts that fit the thread pattern. Metric options are severely limited at every hardware store I went to except for a little mom and pop shop. Home Depot basically had 2 drawers for metric fasteners that looked like it hadn't been restocked in years.

 

Does WalMart, big o, discount tire sell used tires? Can I call and see if they can check local facilities?

 

In some areas Discount/Americas Tire does, at least from what I saw online. Probably depends on local regs with used tires, I dunno. Best to call and ask

 

Just slap some sweet covers over them.

Spoke to discount guy and he said it's hard to find even new tires in that size in stock. Have to order most of them. Well shit, looks like I'll just do a matching spare

 

haha I'm trying to keep the profile lower and less visible but that's an interesting thing I didn't know existed

The orange rust color actually matches better than the black did

 

I like 454. Descended from the 348 tree. More like a big block Kettering designed Olds.







348 W engine design

 

No, they're all new only.

These guys were good when I lived out there

Maybe just find a third (fourth?) shade of red to paint them.

 

I did think about using some of the leftover radiant red paint I have from Toyota, but I don't think I want to mess around with painting bolts...just gonna get some that won't rust

 

I'm not sure I follow the train of thought here

 

Do you want the 4runner roof strips? I am heading down to socal Friday.

 

You should stop by here; I've got some Fox 2.0's that need to go his way

 

Sure! I'll try them out at least. How long will you be out here? I'm going to be camping Fri - Sun with my dad but we're staying more local now, our original plan to go out to Mt. Whitney portal got canned due to the fires there

 

Haha that was the tire outlet I was referring to, they got my last spare done for me without issues. No luck, said to try next week again

 

2 Walmarts had a full set of 31x10.5x15’s in stock.
They aren’t that hard to find here

 

I'm heading down early Friday morning down 395. And will be heading back on Monday. If your out of town I can give them to my brother and you can grab them from him. He lives in Arcadia.
Sux about Whitney, the smoke has been pretty bad up here already. South Reno was on fire last week.

 

Ok yeah that works for me, I'll shoot you a message on Sunday when I get back home probably early afternoon. If we can't link up Sunday I can just grab them from your brother afterward

 

That looks a lot like Tucson in the Winter.

 

That's at the very eastern most edge of Apache Junction
