1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

That looked like a fun drive Erik

 

Yeah that fender is waffled and got bondoed.

 

Drill holes from a slide hammer to straighten the panel out, and that’s Bondo seeping out

 

So after doing some cross referencing, reading, head scratching, butt snorkeling, skimming, and FSM perusing.

Here is what I've come up with from the FSM.


Based on cross referencing from DJs numbers. The yellow is factory specs?

I have no clue what the red code is.

I assume the VCKL30L/UCK30L is a body code or something?

Not sure what the Pink is unless that's the "new" spec with those tire sizes?

Maybe someone here can confirm.

Again with the guru tag.

Off topic chatter? Who would do such a thing, f@#*! People.




Great football games yesterday, playoffs are going to be interesting.

 

the key is, 0 camber, 0 toe. around 3 degrees of castor. thats typically what rides best in these trucks and 1st gen tacos

 

`You mean 'here you are trying to avoid an unknown mudhole like a guy who drove out.

 

Sitting around and watching Football? Thats still a thing?

I got a chuckle over the Holidays at families homes and the games were on.

The ‘Fake Applause and Cheers’!

 

Hmmm. I think I have found out why Hand Models don't want to be stranded and should drive Toyotas... @Professional Hand Model

I spent about 4 hours driving on Sunday, youtube TV app on my phone with redzone going the whole time. The fake cheers and applause is the same track they play during broadcast tv comedy series, that can be very annoying. I don't need them to tell me what is funny and when I should laugh

 

The tent of pain claims a new victim...

 

Did he recommend a specific company for headers? I'm assuming he still likes JBA?

Also, just as an FYI, we determined you can do long tubes for a lot less than $3K but it's still a ton of work and a lot more $ than shorties. I don't blame you for not wanting to mess with it.

 

Pretty soon you'll be able to open your own side business. Tent.of.Pain or T.O.P Mechanic Services. Still needs a glory hole though.

 

Oooh

There is a 10×17 glory flap at the bottom of the tent where the wind whips in underneath the sidewalls along the entire perimeter.

Does this count?

 

“Cars and trucks aren’t all we service!”

 

I wasn't born with this cow tongue for nothin!

That fellas thread above reminded me.
Checked on coo' sprangs site for frame numbers again.

Looks like all FGT AC, and RC frames are now discontinued.



They do still have links for a 2006 DC frame. Both 2wd, and 4wd.





All I have to say to the DC people is if you're looking for a frame... nows the time to buy. I waited too long on mine, and now its gone. (New, anyways.)

 

It's possible you need a different part number. That's the same part number that shows up for my 04 DC but this is the frame that is listed on the invoice from the replacement. However the number they used doesn't show up in the parts lists.

Need a T.O.P. Mechanic though to do the frame swap!

 

missed by one mile.

 

Well there goes your resale value.

 

There goes your timing belt, and pump.

 

At what point do you stop telling people how many months old your children are? I just heard my coworker say 25 months old.

I'm gonna throw it out there, I'm 464 months old.

 

Personally, I say you use months until you hit the next bench mark of years. Same way when you are talking distance or height. You don't say how many inches tall you are, you say X feet and Y inches.

 

Guys do we have a recommended fluid/grease list around here? I would prefer to be able to order online. There is nothing in the info dump thread.

 

My timing belt was done right before I bought it at 78k

 

I've never seen a fluid list but we've had plenty of people ask for advice. What fluids are you looking for? Your transmission will require different fluid than mine.
