1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Yeah i only noticed that tab putting in the 2nd one, backwards of course lol

Is using grease a bad idea? Not sure if i want them moving once they’re in but they’d go in a lot easier

It should be fine to use grease. Internally the bushings need to be pressed in the correct direction if you'll notice the front bushing has the big slug of rubber facing a slightly different direction in the back one for what I suppose is some sort of lateral stability

 

Rubber = no grease

Poly = grease

Thought engineers knew everything

 

id use a thin coating of grease or anti seize. once theyre pressed in it should be tight enough to keep the sleeve from spinning in the control arm

 

talking about the metal on metal part of the bushing and control arm eye

 

Well clearly I'm late to the conversation

Should go long travel - been seeing kits come up on FB

 

I seem to have inherited a 2008 BMW X5... I don't know what I'm going to do with that yet. But it has a nice N52 3.0 engine and a 6hp ZF trans...

 

lt? nah

you can shove a tacoma with stock ucas through a lot of shit but youll be feeling it lol

 

Oh for sure

But he's Gen Z so they gotta do it for the 'gram

 

Who does wood working in this thread?

 

Nobody in this thread that I know of. I know a few other members that do though

 

I'd bet those members would easily handle the job.

13.5" diameter wood top - I will be drilling 4 to 6 holes through it for T nuts.

I don't have the wood working tools for cutting a perfect circle, and adding any kind of bevel to remove the sharp edges.

It'll be for my Vyper-rip-off project.

 

Hey at least you're taking care of your truck - I've been neglecting my CEL

 

Spend the money for a plunge router. I don't do any woodworking but it still comes in handy quite often

 

now that you make me think of it the last 2 long travel owners i met locally were gen z lol

 

I did actually need it when I made that small stand.

Fuck it Harbor Freight here we go

 

I know we've all beat the subject quite a bit, the whole overlander thing and all.

But I'm seeing more and more kitted out trucks that seem to have never touched dirt. Most out here being 4Runners with ladders and nerf bars.

The 1st Gen flatbed Tacoma was badass though - that thing had a crunched up cab so you know he gives her the beans

 

theyre all over here too

same kind of folks usually talk me up on the trail about how they didnt think i was gonna make it past xyz obstacle in my “little truck” lol
