1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

i guess other disasters have taken quite a bit longer so i should not gripe

 

The government not doing what they should be doing surprises you?

 

they are working on some of it
there was a lot of heavy machinery rebuilding the levees

i guess 500 miles of levees is too much all at once

 

Talking with the owner, ran a carfax, came back clean, only 2 owners. Current owner has had it for about 14 years it looks like. Toyota VIN check looks good too, has a recall for a Smart Stop Technology chip install (related to the fly-by-wire throttle) but I don't care about that after reading up on it. Great service records, t-belt was done about 100k ago so it's about due again from what I have read. New radiator at 257k, valve cover gaskets were done at 254k along with resealing the t-case. Brake were completely done at 222k, lower control arm bushings, inner CV boots at 194k. Current owner never took it off road except for dirt roads to go camping. Owner has been very open about issues, which aren't many. Oh, he said his mechanic said it might need shocks soon too, not worried about that as I'll replace those when I lift it.

Going to check it out and probably buy it tomorrow morning.

 

its hard to believe that this actually meant something 36 years ago lol ... Orange Bowl in Miami
they basically are just not good anymore, 3rd year straight with no bowl game invite

 

It sure looks like it. If the active suspension can give a 3" lift on demand, that would be kinda nice. I'm getting really stoked about some of the deals I see on Lexus SUVs. It like the best kept secret.

 

Still to pricey for me. I hope this T4R works out, looks pretty good so far.

 

I may have found some paint that works on plastic that will blend with an Oak interior. Not an exact match, but would not look out of place if done properly.

 

They're still rebuilding from Katrina

 

Keep us updated. I've always had good luck with Rust-Oleum, even on keyboards and console controllers

 

Looks good buddy

 

damn, that is 14+ years!

 

Will do. Need to do some actual sampling on plastic once the weather warms up a bit.

 

Thanks for the heads up.

 

i have to go and compliment some nice shiny black 3rd gens

 

Yeah, you like that?

 

Sounds good. Hope it works out.

This thing screams former Texas golden girl vehicle. BMW trade in. I bet its just getting broken in good.

 

Either y'all need your own room or someone's vag has sand in it.
