1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Huh, I never thought of that.... I don't think it would be rigid enough, these are good for 6.5lbs each and are quite squishy

 

Might be interesting to play with for a cell phone mount then. Or the head for my ham radio.

 

I'd think it is about as dangerous as leaf springs usually are TBH, cool part here is, if the leaf gives up the axle is still retained with links and the frame and axle will rest on the bumpstop while still remaining attached. You could potentially drive it with no springs in a life or death situation

 

Th

Throw an empty tire on the diff for some added damper

 

Is there a reason that setup is not used more? It looks really efficient!

 

Coilovers

 

I think it just isn't super flashy and no one makes kits really... It's still popular with hotrodders since you can really slam a vehicle pretty easily with a similar setup. The packaging is the most appealing part of it

 

You have to 4 link it with those springs?

 

Not hard

 

3 or 4, I've seen people do radius arms too

 

I slateher everything in a layer of dielectric grease

After I dunked my Tacoma in the water I took apart all the trucks electronics and to my amazement Toyota coated everything important in a layer of mayonnaise like dielectric grease

So I followed suit from than on on everything I cared about

 

FIFY

Just got my 14wa's back from the machine shop

I can't compare before and after because as usual the tundras original brakes are shit and feel like they need to be bled

 

@Kwikvette I think we might need a new exhaust scrubber

 

Needs a industrial sized hood

 

You should upgrade to taco breaks

 

I got some extra sram guides he can slap on

 

Yeeeeaaaaaa, that would be nice

 

You should see the welding bays at my hall
