1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

yeah that rear bumper would be impossible to balance on a floor jack, luckily the AP front bumper was flat on the bottom so it would balance on there if I set it on just right

In other news it looks like OVTune finally released a vid of the twin turbo 3rd gen they've been building

I dig that

 

OSH Had the best nuts/bolt selection ever

 

They really did, and they were walking distance from my house if I needed anything. Fk'ing Home Depot has the saddest selection of grade 8 stuff, and virtually nothing in the way of auto fasteners like panel clips. Osh had tons of those

 

That name being purely coincidental and not related to selling screws for Tacos.

I've been ordering my 10.9 stuff from belmetric online. They sell on Amazon but also have a website. - https://www.belmetric.com/

I like that I can get the screws, nuts and washers in matching yellow plated zinc.

 

Belmetric costs too much. Tacoma Screw is like if Fastenal didn't suck. They're priced well and they have a bigger selection than both Belmetric and Fastenal. They're based out of Tacoma, WA haha.

 

I hate you so much

 

Fastenal is great if you have a company account. Otherwise you gonna get raped on prices. I go to Tractor Supply for all my nut and bolt needs. Pay per pound on SAE stuff.

 

Fastenal almost never has a single thing in store that they stock online.

 

After doing this I really wish I had bitten the bullet on getting a winch right away, probably going to put it off for longer now because I really don't want to take this thing off and on again anytime soon lol.


Another question...I wired up the turn signals to the orange LEDs in the bumper, they work but they flash super fast now. Normally that's a sign of a bulb going out isn't it? They didn't flash like that before I wired them to the LEDs, so maybe it's just normal LED function? Or did I manage to screw something up (totally possible). Was only two wires...ground to ground and turn signal to turn signal.

Luckily I can access the wiring for the turn signals through the 2 larger round holes, so if I need to fix those I can with the bumper still on.

 

Flasher resistor for LEDs. Any auto parts store should have them.

 

He's got my mod.

 

ah ok, now that you mention it I remember reading that somewhere for LED lights. I'll get those thanks

 

He’s praying for a 1st gen Taco to ride in.

 

I just bought the led relay

 

The relay is plug and play. I can get you a part number

 

It replaces the old flasher relay with the new one that has a different resistance for LEDs

 

Don't even need the resistors, they negate the point of an LED, just get the EP35 flasher relay and reap the benefits of not doing things a dumb way
