1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Several companies out there have been doing this.

If you're running 2.5 shocks, you need to run spacers (most likely, maybe not).

Running outboard offers better stability at higher speeds but you are limited to shock length somewhat.

 

I like this setup and am interested in doing it when the rear gets done. Do you know if spacers are generally needed if maybe I do a wider rear like tundra?

 

Most likely not needed, but then I've never swapped a rear housing for another.

I'm only familiar with the need for spacers as most companies state to do so, and I'll be doing something similar for the 4Runner.

 

I’d seen the Total Chaos ones before. After reading up on related threads I wouldn’t consider outboard. I’ll likely still do a tube across the frame and inboard mount them.

Don’t like speed because I can’t afford to break things lol.

 

For your setup its largely an unknown. Even 2.0 shocks can rub with that setup on a 6 lug, but with a narrower axle you might have worse issues. That said you also run really small tires so it might be okay, you should measure clearance from the edge of the tire to the frame's outer most wall.

 

hmmmm, this will be interesting then. Ill need to get a build thread going when I get to that point to get the info out.


I think @BikerinBlak909 is running something similar but he has a 6 lug rear and not tundra rn

 

Whenever I get the nuts to actually move enough shit out of the way in my garage to spend 10 mins learning how to use my TIG welder, I'll probably buy the TC ones

 

6 lug rear might solve the issue, I know the frames are identical width. Your body is much narrower at the fenders though. I'm going to run 2.5s but I have a Sequoia rear so plenty of extra width

 

I need to make a deal with my landlord for a 220 outlet put in my garage. Can’t weld in the summer because I have to leave the door open to run an extension cable to the laundry room.

 

Definitely not for everyone.

For you guys, it's easier going underneath and fabbing up a crossmember.

For us, we're limited to the length of shock due to the factory geometry and fuel tank. Running a 10" or 12" is max for us without going crazy elsewhere.

 

Lol nice. I lucked out, my breaker panel is literally in the wall of my garage facing out, so all it took was 3 feet of wire and an RV outlet box.
Do you know anyone who makes inboard shock mounts? I only see DIY solutions in my brief Googlings

 

I think bamf made one at some point

 

BAMF stopped selling theirs and that’s all I know of. It’s a simple custom crossmember and there are a few guides in people’s build threads.

 

I know a guy who wrote some stuff about doing some things.

 

He’s trash

 

Don't talk about Dan that way.

 

hey, its a simple design and seems like it gets the job done.

 

I guess I should’ve clarified who I was talking about

 

That guy was an arizonian don't know how much you can trust the fab work when those heat levels are cooking the brain

 

@Das it mang can confirm?

I remember those booger welds on his exhaust some time back
