1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

I can't say. The guys at work are turning heads a bit, but they can't even see the real improvements. It's no show stopper, it's a 2WD 2005 with nice mods and it's fairly clean. I'm pissed I don't have my sliders yet, but I'll have it ready to go run around regardless of those. It will never do anything technical, but it will do something.

 

I know better, but I'll probably have my towers reinforced in case I hit an old baseball on the ground.

 

Hahaha

 

I have no idea what that means. Maybe it means we are cool. But that would be silly because we have always been. Maybe it means something else. I'm usually good at this. Regardless, I love you man. And for anyone that hasn't noticed, I mix it up a lot, so.....nothing. Stoked to be here.

 

arthritis, worn out hips, blown out disk... The ground gets further away every year. Truck bed is much better height to get horizontal at. YMMV

 

David would not understand, he was one away from the US Olympic Gymnastic Team.

 

I need to build a mount; the thing I was working on while we were bantering is done. @FrenchToasty approves so far, but I'm reluctant to share it just yet. And, I may have the rest tomorrow to share as well. So, I think I'll have a drink and google stuff for now.

 

Those dogs can be so agile and flexible, I think he got robbed. Olympic politics suck.

 

Now that I looked that up, I'm dying / belly laughing!

 

Sliding doors would fix all the problems of the AC pickup.
(well except for the magic back window envy)
(oh & the low bedsides issue)

 

I'm in the 2016 camp. I think the long bed balances the long 'eyes'.
2015 is just too storm trooper for me

 

I'd like to try a Rivian R1T

 

I'm back from soul searching in off topic. The Rivian looks good, at least the one I saw on the road. Might be the greatest thing evolving. I'm sure we will all be wrenching some electrics eventually. Just not today.

 

rebuild it again




if it was stolen.. well this truck was stolen twice early in its life.. it'll find its way back to me.

If I went 70's-80's - Blazer/Jimmy
If I went 2000's - Tundra
If I went 2020 - Tundra or Bronco

 

after the issues with my buddies new bronco (that ford just bought back) i would never consider one.

 

I think so

 

Those things have been plagued so far. Was that a 21?

 

yes. one that sat waiting for a top. he got delivery only to have it leak the first storm, they held it at the dealer and by the time the new top came in half the interior was starting to mold because of said leak and it sitting outside. he was done with it. ford bought it back without too much fuss

he bought a TRD pro 4runner.

im addicted to getting this mr2 running for the sound. LOL

 

I wanted to get my wife an early Bronco down the road. What I want for her is 100-200K these days. Plus, It's a relative piece of shit by todays standards, except those front and rear axles and gears, leafs.
She likes the new Bronco, it's beautiful. And Fukd. In the end, her 4 wheel will likely be a 4R or Sequoia.
Mine will likely be a 2nd gen Tundra. LT

 

the locals i do know that have had them offroad are all concerned about the dinky tie rods. i have a feeling suspension wise those will be the big issue that need to be addressed. other than that suspension wise theyre solid.. i have zero faith their power trains will last though

 

NASCAR sound? WTH?

 

toyota sienna engines can sound amazing. a high revving smooth v6 baby. 300whp is easy with bolt ons and a tune in the mr2. mine should be around 330 with the higher compression pistons (or 310ish if i use the power sapping e153 with LSD)

 

Welp, that pretty crazy good.

 

I need my wife on the Toyota lot. Something to do.
