1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Nice. Sounds like a good two vehicle solution for you. Reg cabs are still my favorite Tacomas, 1st and 2nd gen, great compact platform.

 

sheesh, ya'll blow me away with timeframe on getting things done. thats a solid setup on the way

 

@Kwikvette sas, bobbed and shell looks like a Micro Machine toy haha

 

That is fucking sexy, minus the wheels but damn I dig it.

10/10 would wheel

 

I didn't know ARB bumpers went up.
Might even be able to make back what I paid back when I got mine.

 

Lol yeah

@Digiratus and Zane knew where I was getting at when I asked. Cool looking LCA's but at nearly double the price and less benefit? Pass.

 

Yeah wheel swap, but otherwise, that'd be great.

 

Well, once I get a truck that is.

Knowing now what I want to do is one big step, the next one is actually starting the project.

 

Yeah they're at like $1100 now I think? When I was looking at bumpers circa 2019 for the Tacoma, you could get an ARB brand new, on sale for $700. Dayum

 

Having an exact model you want is the way. I've been flying by the seat of my pants (for non truck vehicles) and it uh, hasn't been going smoothly lol. Planning on flipping the wagon too but not until I'm pretty damn sure what I want to live with for years to come.

 

Yeah, looks like $1100 everywhere. I paid around 8 I believe. It's still clean too. I haven't looked to see what people are listing used ones for though.

 

There's one on here, or was at least, a few days ago for $600 or $650. Had a few dings

probably sold quick with the price of new bumpers now

 

If I could get in the 7's that would be fine too.
This one? https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/sold-arb-steel-bumper-for-1st-gen-tacoma-3rd-gen-4runner.801308/
Mine's in better shape, though he did have some lights, but look like eBay specials.
Guess I'll put mine on here whenever I find a stock bumper replacement to order and see what happens.

 

Just saw the news story about this gif, fisherman in Hawaii had his kayak attacked by a tiger shark. Fuck that, I would never get near the ocean again

 

such a shame bc they used to offer some good products. Swing and a miss

 

thatll come with time, just making sure u dont rush into something; im sure u know lol. Excited to see progress as it comes along!

 

Guy on the FB Tacoma page is complaining that he got ripped off by goodmatchup.com (auto parts).

They fucking misspell "arrival" on the main page and the dude is confused why he got ripped off




I'm not glad to see someone get scammed, but seriously...c'mon. Put that 3rd grade education to use

 

Sidenote..I recently saw their uniball lbj's for our trucks, but don't know anyone who has used 'em. (Maybe they're old news, I don't really look at new options for parts I've already replaced so very well could be behind the times)

That sucks but JFC their website is bad, and Shopify isn't hard haha. The about page grammar should've told him all he needed to know, but since that big front page typo didn't get him...

 

KETCHUP

They've been in the talks for about a year or two; one guy modifies OEM to weld in a placeholder for a uniball setup. TC came out with their setup afterward.
