1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

from what I understand, it fixes everything

 

Stay away from that red car, that driver has a tendency to be erratic and loads of social media activities whilst driving.

 

Thanks for the tip. Pulled into a servo to go potty, and make that post. Another 1st gen at the pump, but too many people to take a decent pic

 

I wonder what its like to drive with a squat? Can’t be fun I assume.

 

I would never put any of those trashy ass stickers on my vehicle. I don't get people.

 

Oh wait a minute, you were social media-ing whilst driving

 

That's not nearly as bad as the red car..

We can still be friends.

 

Hopefully this helps you out. Looks like an 1/8" rod, with the same plastic bits as the tailgate/door locks. Overall length is about 10" with about 8.25" between the bends.

 

You should have seen the rear quarter glass on the red car...

 

FIFY.

 

Just how the page scrolled down, but I was seeing a nice red Trans Am. Anyone else see it? Then I scrolled down & it turned into a Mazda. Bah.

edit - '79 T/A

 

See, with my rear window decals there was a certain method to the madness...

If I could "Hide it" from my field of view behind the headrests it was fair game. Thats why there's nothing in the middle area or the center glass.

If it obstructs my view like the Mazda. Well... its not going there in the first place.

@NUDRAT I can 100% see that.

 

I’m guessing somebody prefers V8
Those little rotaries are fun but can be a bit of a pain

 

I take it you haven't moved to the Atlantic side of the state yet?

 

We have the closing scheduled for Monday on the rental house and we just finished up the hurricane windows & doors at our house so the realtor is getting the schedule straight. We had 1 deal fall through on house, haven’t shown it since. I’m hoping for the best but I am ok with the worst case scenario

 

@Tundra2
Did you finally finish working on your truck? You just about rebuilt the frame & body parts, nuts & bolts and whatever else you found along the way. Got plenty of service done on the mechanicals and I think last I saw you were 2 turkey shoot’ns and a street walker away from bliss.
Correct?

 

@Hooptytrix We might end up like the Cubaños and their 57 Chebys with our 1st Gens?

 

I've definitely considered diesel swapping my Tundra a time or three...

 

Hell She just turned 107k, at this rate I’ll die before she does. I am half Cuban so holding on for to long is in my DNA’s

 

My camera lens is shattered unfortunately.... I'm pointing to that little black hose that connects the black box and the diff . It was cracked at hanging off so I re applied it and zip ties it on. Is that diff fluid that waa leaking out ? I have no more fluid drips

 

​

I'm not done yet, but I did do quite a bit when you were here, and a little when you were gone. Here is a link for you to help catch up.

Sorry to hear this bud. When my last main camera was NG I developed a technique of using the "Selfie" camera to take pictures.

Tricky to hold the phone just so, but doable

 

Just got to work.

I listened to the radio most of the way to work, and noticed that there's LED interference on high beams with stock head unit. Low beams emit no interference.

I'll test this weekend whether it's Katanas or light bar.

 

this is actually pretty common with LED headlights. factory ones have noise filters

 

I knew it was common. Guess I never noticed before because I just throw my bluetooth speaker into the pass seat.

 

install a bluetooth capable radio, its sooo much nicer

 

This one cracks me up

 

Honestly, upgrading the head unit changed my life.

 

i love my modern toyota radio.. it just works. HD radio is wonderful, Bluetooth works, USB works... everything... just works
