1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Everything i find here is like over 200k miles some have no lockers. Some missing the 3rd row or rip interior. No service history. All that for between 10-15k

 

I love soft handle ratchets, bigger handle so my hands can get a better grip, they don't slip as much with grease or oil.

 

I like grey hounds but i heard they are very fragil

 

Why do you have to be so negative all the time.

 

The leather tears, just happens when they get old. A couple companies will make you new upholstery. 200k miles is no biggie. The engine is deigned for a service life of 1.2million miles and Toyota has all the parts for the recommended rebuilds. Some people never bought the third row, it's not terribly comfortable but they come up for sale on mud all the time. Most don't have lockers by the way, that adds another 3-5k to the price if they do

 

mine never really had issues. they just were big lazy dogs. loved them to death.

 

Yeah ik i can get it all fixed and I would make it into a overland rig so im not supper worried about looks. But just knowing stuff is wrong with it will make me wanna spend all my money making it liek stock vs upgrading.
Also i cant afford insurance on a second car....

 

I always wanted a Italian grey hound. I really like how they look such pretty dogs especially brindle ones

 

Makes sense.

I do love my ratcheting flex head wrenches. I find myself using them more than my sockets in most situations. They're just so, convenient.

 

Fair enough

 

80s are the last US market solid axle land cruiser with arguably the most robust engine and trans. The even had comfortable interiors. They've become the second most valued cruisers after the 40/45 series. Why I really wanted one before they become unobtainium in nice condition. Maybe one day it'll be my kids college fund, maybe I'll be smart and save for that instead of liquidating my favorite vehicle haha

 

It's the poor MPG that keeps me from buying a LandCruiser. Unless it's an imported diesel version I just can't pull the trigger on one.

 

Not mine, maybe someone’s looking

 

Someone say 40’s on an FJ? Only 3” of lift too

 

How’s it do In the snow?
Sounds like a stupid question but oh well.

 

Like a hot knife through butter. Had to stop here because of a locked gate but was going easy until then.

 

So many fun things for sale...


Looks dirty though, and a guy would have to look at the frame.

 

Interesting, is that an engine swap or did the pickup come with the 5VZ?

 

Itd have to be an engine swap I think.

 

Is that truck on a solid axle still? I don’t remember what year Toyota switched to IFS.
