1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I'll gladly be that guy...

Ask yourself this... how much does this mean to you? Is the peace of mind worth $204 some odd dollars + a little for shipping?










If it is worth the piece of mind, then give McGeorge Toyota a call tomorrow morning and get them ordered. They'll confirm part#s for you.

Don't forget to order new bolts as well since they don't come with them. DO NOT reuse the originals.

If you want to roll the bones and leave it to chance... then go with the Autozone, O'Reily, Napa, Mom & Pop Auto Parts LBJs....

You asked for opinions, you don't want something like the above happening on the freeway at speed.

BTW, you said they are original (?) Why don't you call up your local service department and take it in there. I imagine they have to honor that recall still. Confirm with your VIN via:

Watching "The Grandmaster"

 

@Kwikvette when he 'overdrills'

 

Well. My tundra has a backup camera. Just waiting on the harness to hook up to the back of the radio

 

A quote from my favorite Craigslist ad of all time,
1999 Toyota Corolla - Fine AF

 

Sure you're not confusing that gif for the face I made when you PMd me

 

yes, but backup camera makes like easier hooking up to trailers.

 

i have like 6 auto dimming mirrors now too.. shitt

 

dude. you call this hoarding? wait till i have enough room to stock pile cars.

 

Sooo. My paint came in today too. Might actually have the tundra on all 4 wheels this weekend. Yay.

going to get the cap next Friday, might be buying the harness and the radio bezel because mines broke.

 

Thats cute. They gave the Ford Flex a lift kit from the factory.

 

DLing now

 

+1 -- I usually drive fast so quality suspension parts are essential.

Not sure if my order was just a fluke, but when I ordered the lower set form McGeorge, they came with new bolts already in the package. I thought that was a nice touch. I have some extra bolts now which is ok.

You can always email them to ask questions toyotaparts-mcgeorgetoyota@emails.revolutionparts.com

Here's the pricing below. The Nut and Washer plate were for the drive shaft - different project.

 

Or you could you know... check them somewhat regularly

Ball joints dont wake up one morning and decide to explode if you look they exhibit signs of wear before they fail

 

Reposted from Facebook. Its official. Tacomas now officially antique cars. I don't feel so old now. LOL

OMG - I have a sickness. I think it's called Toyotaidis. I need to have my head examined. There is a good chance I may score that LX470 tonight.

The thrill of getting packages delivered weekly or daily.

The excitement of open the shipping boxes and popping the bubble wrap.

The smell of brake parts cleaner.

The feel of new OEM parts.

Another car on jack stands for 6 months.

The joy of buying new tires.

Gallons of Berryman Chemtool parts cleaner.

The thrill of building my own "super axles".

Renting the Rug Doctor.

I need to expand my driveway or move out of the city.

I just can't resist late 90s Japanese cars.

 

Lol, I understand your excitement... I just wish I was close to there so I could EXPERIENCE the excitement as well

It's a lot of fun to play with and modify, and even just maintain, high quality stuff. Just the feel of using a quality tool over a junker throw away tool. Life is much more satisfying and gratifying when I'm working with good quality products, tools, and even PEOPLE is a good one as well. It's why I like this forum so much I think, there are a lot of high quality people, even right here in LT thread. It's what keeps me coming back for more

 

Tried a rug doctor on the 4R. Gave up. The head on the thing was too large and that's on the portable version. Couldn't do much without removing all the seats. If I'm gunna go to that trouble, then I'm just going to replace the carpet completely. Probably go black or a dark grey of some sort.
