1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

It was a pile of shit car haha, I never worried about it till then. With 4 lo you can engine brake really well in those though so it wasn't that big of an issue. They 4 lo gears are synchronized too

 

Even locking up though, locking up the rear tires on pickup doesn't do much for stopping

 

I miss the T-Case e-brake that I had in my old 4runner.

 

You realize your ebrake is based off your boiling rear shoes and when you boil the brakes in the rear you lose the fronts too right?

 

No I was meaning on the old Subaru I was driving

 

Yeah the E-brake is terrible. I might need to re-adjust it but it was never any good.
Wonder if there are alternatives. I cringe when I set the E-brake, the truck rolls a bit and I hear the transmission parking pawl cling.

 

Mine isn't as good as it used to be, but with a good pull it will still hold the truck on any slope it has traction for

 

I guess I really have to pull the thing but it doesn't feel right pulling so hard. I guess it makes sense since after all it is a mechanical cable.
It's been over a year I've adjusted maybe it needs to be redone.

 

Mine is really good and when it wasn't it just took a moment with the brake spoon to even the two sides out and get it good

 

I should adjust mine, it's still plenty good enough to do it's job, but I can tell it's not as good as when I first got it. I also gotta fix it from freezing on when it gets super cold

 

What? What’s this have to do with me.

 

So tonite we have a usual suspect defending a non working brake system. People like that shouldnt be allowed to drive on public roads, or gloat about it on the internet.

 

That's supposed to happen but if you don't even the sides out after assembly one side inevitable adjusts further out and you end up having heat issues because pedal pressure goes the path of least resistance.

 

I wouldn’t own a car that swam in poop water and has dangerously malfunctioning rear brakes.

 

Look, Antelope and broccoli

 

Get a Wok if you’re doing stir fry. So much easier.

 

Oh I know, just don’t have one

 

...And room temp butter on the counter...

 

Oh man I definitely didnt mean it get that in the pic

 

An Asian guy telling you to get a wok. Can't get a better recommendation than that.
