1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

Found this beauty today

 

Lots of carbon cack build up in those intakes chambers.

 

You talked me out of it.

 

Looks like a nice neighborhood.

 

If that was 4wd I'd buy the whole thing. V8 swap time!

 

I'm trying to find all the bolts that hold the front bumper. Anyone want to help me out?

Things support brackets have to come off I assume?

 

Man I appreciate it, but I've never had much luck reading those.


edit-luck, not look!

 

Well. Thats a deep subject.

 

o2 Sensors (with copper anti sieze!) and stuff came in today.

The MAF Sensor is a Toyota Hitachi, but they had to scratch off the Toyota and put a Hitachi part # Sticker over it.

Made in USA!

 

Nice!
What is the lil nipple! PN 12230

 

Never used one before, but its an o2 Sensor Threader. The Denso Reviewers highly recco’d getting one. This Lisle one is Made in USA! Suppose to be nicely made. Saves the new o2 threads from getting jacked. Directions say use anti-seize and then thread it in. Captures the crunchies in the goo and paves the way for success!

 

Oh cool! Hopefully the bombardment of penetrant spray should make things easy.

 

Ye. We’ll see tomorrow if it has helped any. Hope so.

 

While replacing the seal today I was looking at the upstream O2 sensor. I don't envy you. This is going to test even your high level hand model skills. You may have to do the rarely used no look reverse grip palm thrust.

But seriously, it's tough to reach.

 

I have a secret weapon up my sleeve. Its a Gorilla Length Right Arm. I will use my shorter Tattoo Length Arm to post up in Side Plank Rising Sun Technique. Namasté!

 

Didnt want to make a thread.

Considering getting bilstein 5100s soon. If I want a leveled look with stock spirings what rung perch would I need to go on I believe it's the 3rd ? Also would getting OME 884 or 885 springs and set to the lowest perch be a better ride quality then the above ?

 

A v8 1st gen tacoma? Jesus christ thats a dream come true

 

This is a 3.4l. No v8. Depending on if I can get out to get this 96 taco frame and cab, I may try swapping one in.


Or a Toyota v12

 

Ohh okay. Still cool though

 

OME 885s on the lowest perch will supposedly offer a better ride than the stock springs. that's what @empty_lord did and he said it rode great. I'm running Eibach Pro-truck shocks with 2885s which are pretty close to 5100s on the second from the bottom, and it gets me a small amount of rake with 2" rear blocks.

 

If I get this, and put new stock rear leafs, will it give me the Carolina squat? Or do I need to do this:



I'm getting new leafs out back anyways. But I'm also staying stock on my tires. 31s I believe.

 

come on man. 33's!!!

 

That's another $1000 bucks! I still need new leafs, a rack, tie rods, lcas, cv axles, and some other crap. Tires will come later though. 255/85/16s.

 

Yeah, fair point. Might as well knock out that other stuff first.

T

 

Today is first time I get to mechanically work on the truck in months after coming out of my underground bunker. Gonna have to make provisions for allowing Tundra some space in the bunker before ‘round two’ of Corona hits.

 

What amount of lift are you hoping for? Also what tires did your truck come with originally?

My truck came stock with the 245/60/16 tires and when I installed those OME shocks, I got 3.5 inches of lift. Hub to fender was 24. After adding the 3 leaf add a leaf I was still lower in the back (23.5). I'd recommend installing the front shocks and UCA's and then deciding on what amount of lift you need in the back to level it.

What new leafs are you looking at? I installed the HD leafs and am sitting at 23 hub to fender in the back. (got different shocks so the front is also 23)

 

I just wanna level it. I have the 265/75/16s on it. About 31s. I'm gonna get the stock General Springs.

Main reason for all this is just to replace shitty monroes and old springs. I'm not trying to stuff 35s, off road, mall crawl, or anything else. Just level with stock 31s. And pizza cutter 33s later.

 

I had those monroe's on mine and they are indeed terrible! You'll definitely want some type of lift in the back with the OME set up.

 

My 2 cents, if you're going with new coils there's not a need for the 5100s. I'm also a little jaded since mine only have about 20k on them and one is leaking.
