1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

Yeah, I know for a fact mine is auto-down only on the driver's side. It would be cool if something will work for AC/ DC too.

I just think it's weird how @shifty` 's is.

 

You sure he's not doing a headstand while confirming that???

 

Either that, or his truck was wired at the end of someone's shift!

 

Looks like there's an IC involved for the auto down in my 02 AC Tundra. I'm sure the Sequoia has something similar but does auto up and auto down for both windows.

 

Same here, auto up and down for driver and passenger.

 

Even if it was a tundra with complete gray interior trim pieces?!?!?

 

Yea no. If the cab looked like that, I wouldn’t have useable part either

 

Only auto down on driver window.
I believe I asked EL a while ago if the switches or relays from a newer 4runner could be swapped over(all auto up/down from driver seat) but I think he said he hadn’t seen it done yet or that it was actually possible

 

it would be nice to have all 4 like that. Makes me wanna tear apart the master switch to see if you can just swap each individual switch out to an auto one...

 

The window motors to
Make it function properly don’t exist on our trucks. The 1st gen tacomas with a lot of wiring can have it work on the passenger side due to 4runners having a motor that works

 

I just assumed it was something mechanical in the switch, independent of the motors. That mechanical item in the switch is what gives the audible 'click' when the switch is full throw, and the resistance when the motor bottoms out trips the switch OFF.

But I'm probably grossly misjudging how it works.

 

If i need my window down, im completely capable of holding the buttons.

 

What's unique about the motors that allow it to work for auto down and up on both driver and passenger side? I thought it was all in the controls of it.

 

Probably the Hall effect to know when it’s all the way up or down.

 

but you can't drop all 4 (or two) windows with one touch and then gangster lean with one hand on the wheel and the other on the console all the while your windows are still going down.....it's truly unacceptable.

 

They have extra wires that control the anti pinch and all that

 

But I've got these tiny hands ...

Wtf

 

factory mufflers on alot of cars are setup like that internally to kill noise.. on that.. i have no clue wtf

 

If the internal pipe is perforated I can't imagine the exhaust doing the loop. Maybe it acts as a resonator?

 

Well, when you go shopping for exhaust at wallyworld……

 

The VFtuner coming for 05 up tundras has me digging in deeper. If our trucks can produce similar gains as the 5.7, a stock 4.7 with a tune cab eek out 20ish hp. Makes me wonder what they’ll make with a tune optimised for headers and all that hood stuff..

 

Very interesting watch here narrated, and hosted by none other than Clancy brown.

Clancy is known as the voice of Mr. Krabs, and many, many, many other roles.

 

That is truly ugly. But would THEORETICALLY provide double the muffling without two mufflers. Or if it's really sciency/lucky, it'll put the exhaust pulses on opposite nodes and cancel the noise that way.

Most likely it's just an ugly, heavy, largely useless 'muffler'. But you never really know.

 

Dropped the corolla off today with new regulator. Quoted $175 for labor, and the part. Haven't gotten a quote for just labor. Figuring $100-ish. Money well spent.


They also had this in line for repairs. A modded TF out Suzuki samurai. Trail warrior!




My favorite part? The washers on the shock bolt.

 

Single shear because no fear.
(the far bolt is already bent)

 

Received offer letter today..... need to be schlump

Looking good!

 

Congrats! Salary range looks good for you?

 

Non-exempt, eligible for overtime. $3 more an hour than I was expecting.

$5.57 raise.

 

That sounds like a win-win-win to me. Time to grow! Change is good, spread those wings brother.
