1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

Got a link? I must be using a cheap magnetic one someone gave me. No silicon inside.

 

Duralast Autozoned about $15 a few years ago.

Even has hatching grip on the shaft for Hand Threading.

 

i ended up at autozone and got this one, except mine is rubber / silicone free.
Ran out of time to attempt to use it, will go for it tomorrow.
Picked up 4qts valvoline 80w-90 gear oil, plan on doing that as well

 

MAY finally have a lead on a 2020 86 radio. If soC CARPLAY, HERE I COME!

Nice message about the Bosnian Ape Society at the end there.

 

This gives me ideas for a new clearcoat...



The LIDAR solution would have to be some sort of LED bar in the front.

 

What color Loctite do you guys keep around for suspension work? LBJ bolts for example.

 

I go blue

 

Make this a 2nd vote for blue. I keep both the liquid and the stick around. I don't like using more aggressive stuff like red on anything. Blue is similar to painting things shut and actually helps prevent bolt freezing due to corrosion bonding.

Blue x3, red only if you want to torch things.

 

It is impossible for me to listen to that man's voice for more than a few minutes. I feel for the owner of that truck but it's clear he didn't check the frame when he bought it and he didn't do anything to protect it further. He's SOL.

 

That guys voice is big cringe. If he wants to be such a smart aleck to go bashing Toyota for salty roads maybe you should have looked at the frame before you bought it.

 

By the way I am looking at getting the ICON progressive add a leaf. Anyone have trouble with these or do you like them? @empty_lord

 

I'm not bothered by Scotty's voice, and his content is typically spot-on correct.

As for the Tundra in question, it sounds like a dealer told the owner the frame had been coated and there was nothing to worry about. Maybe the dealer coated over rust, thus making it worse.

 

@FirstGenVol

 

You mean I'm not the only one who can't stand Scotty videos? I don't care how good (or bad) the info is, if it's presentation is insufferable I'm out. I automatically close and thumbs down robo-reader videos too. Maybe I'm just a jerk.

 

I wouldn't recommend these. If you are hell-bent on going the AAL route, go with Wheelers. They seem to have better reviews. I followed ICON's instructions, removed the overload spring, and got ZERO lift. It did help it ride slightly better though. If I had known this, I would have just spent more to replace my leaf packs.

 

I had to laugh when I watched his dielectric grease video, adding half a tube inside of a connection and telling people it helps conduct electricity.......

 

Damnit that’s so easy to do and so obvious now that I see it. Kudos sir.

 

Check out orange instead.

I used red on mine, but orange is different than blue or red (I know, duh). It maintains it's hold as the bolt loosens, whereas blue/red only prevent break-free. It also does not require heat to remove, like blue.

 

Someone just linked this in another thread. I may have finally found a way to mount a RTT on my shell. It's not cheap though.

PHM Hand Threading?!?!? Does your agent know you’re being frivolous with your money makers?

 

Gloves are always in the contract.

 

A friendly reminder that this stuff is a life saver. I even used it on my fat bike when I reinstalled the rotor. Not backing off on my watch!

@shifty` since we were talking about little euro cars, check out this little thing. @chrisb you might like it too. These run the VW/Audi 1.8T motor but it's the size and weight of a Polo.

 

Not necessarily. The way that tundra is rusting at the bottom of the frame rail is similar to mine where it’s most likely rusting from the inside out.

They spray a wax like coating inside but all it seems to do is trap moisture and accelerate the process.

 

I usually use a bright green paint marker. I have used a black one but doesn't work as well. That does look nice, I might have to grab a couple.
