1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

An LKQ in Raleigh put out two double cabs this past week. Really tempting to make the 2 hr drive and see if the parts that fetch $$$ are still there. Probably not so I skipped out on going. If one was a limited I wouldve dropped everything and floored it to Raleigh in hopes that the seats would be there and in good shape.

 

the last and only double cab we had at a junkyard.. was well holy shit.. nothing was useable.

 

give me the ammunition and i'll keep alot of them rolling. i just need a supply of frames and trucks that need em. if i have 2 racks and get frames with brake lines and lower control arms the swap would be 2-3 day procedure 1 day if i just went ham for 12-14 hrs.

 

The pics they put up made the console's look useable. And if the drivers seat trim was there Id take it. But those trucks were probably stripped in a few hours being that they were put out in the middle of the new years sale LKQ was doing.

The Raleigh and Charlotte yards get all the cool stuff. My LKQ is horrible about getting imports in. If you want PT looser parts, its the place to go.

 

I think I'm going to make a trailer frame for this bed this summer.

 

id love to have a matching trailer bed for my tacoma.

 

the ones that end up in the yards are usually fucked. they keep most of them because the parts are still desirable enough to be worth them dismantling

 

you can save the current one if you treat it right. my fathers 02 has a good frame still. its original

 

I kinda wanted to buy that truck and throw a motor and trans back in lol

 

"i have to get rid of these projects"



and then this..

 

Yeah I wish I could find a cheep second Gen bed since I tow with my 2014 more. But the 1st Gen bed is going to look good.

 

Showed up to this extended family dinner with no warning that we were exchanging gifts.... So I didn't bring anything

 

theres somthing neat about seeing a truck towing a bed that matches it. lol even better with matched wheels

 

Same brotha. Love it better than them ol 3rd gens although I love them all and pre-tacos

 

I have no way of moving it so I would of never got it. Thats why i want a Ram so i can tow stuff

 

If you want Taco parts around here, auto salvage is really the only way. But the prices are insane. My dad needs a new tailgate, as his has a small rust spot on the inside starting to show through the paint. $500 from our local salvage yard.

 

Tundra gang.

@Tour991 get like 4 frames and i'll bring pallets to tow them home. lol

 

Use that as a joke and slip a 20 or 50 or something into a piece of paper folded up and try to get them to laugh at it with some self deprecation

 

at that price you may as well buy a new OEM and have it painted for 150 bucks.

 

you still get the advantage of not having the freezeing temps. that doesnt help with the constant thawing and freezing. my tundra was on the coast most of its life. theres mild surface rust on the welds. and thats it. nothing some paint cant fit
