1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

You haven't talked about your next mod; what's due?

 

Glad you noticed the redline bit. It's those little touches.

 

I believe you dude, promise, on the not a mark up thing. You're right, I'm truly shocked. Beyond shocked... I guess I had NO idea honestly since I haven't even noticed any prices of new cars for years.
What the hell does a brand new fully spec'ed Tacoma cost? Or Tundra?

 

Never rebuilt a set of axles

Saw someone post a thread and used redline so I figured that'd work well?

 

I have an eye for talent

 

I'm thinking of getting the dolly your using, the car weighs about 2800 pounds, idk how much weight it lost from rust

 

Cap made it home with just 2 clamps it’s in pretty good shape. Front sliding window, side sliding windows with screens, the keys are missing. Oh well. And the dome light is broke.


A steal for $220. My body guy will paint it for $250

 

Next 'mod' @BartMaster1234 is going to install. lol

 

Weak.

But you have to remember, some people just want to "pay" for it and say "they can"...

In the 7 years I've been here, the only person that bought a Rubicon from us, and would actually qualify to say they need a Rubicon for what it offers, is my buddy who's a retired sheriff, and off-road enthusiast. He was on the cover of 4 wheel magazine years back and has a ton of wheeling stories and pictures.

Every other person that buys a Rubicon (or wants one at least), is every female between 15 to 25 and they all want a white one with black wheels and black hard top.

 

What's he doin for ya?

 

Well, I want to just drop the truck off with all the components for the conversion. lol. Its ok if it takes a month or more

 

I wonder if the clunking is the damn SPC UCAs? @eon_blue you run into that before?

 

Thought it was the back?

 

I already brought that up to him and he didn't respond, I axed him if he could figure out financing from scratch with a brand new lot.... I got crickets was all. I knew where I was on the totem pole after that

 

And my dentist brother even would back..... Damn. I'll find someone

 

Hold up you got an SC400? did we hear about that?

 

it is, it absolutely sounds like it is. I can feel it up front though - not so much in the steering wheel but my feet can feel it. Its hard to really localize and explain. Its one of those "might be coming from front but sounds like back" clunks. Easy answer is to get a go-pro under there and see what I can see. Only problem is, no go-pro. Wonder if I could zip tie an old Galaxy S9+... lol

 

You can be the mechanic and he can be the finance guy


I guess that leaves sales to me???






We're fuxked

 

Yeah only if you looked at my build thread like a year ago. It has 134k mi and runs great but has the factory air ride suspension and it is blown out. Body is trash too.

Was my 1UZ donor that I'm gonna let go for lack of a plan for it

 

What struts do you have up front?
