1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

I lost the paper where i wrote down which lbj's i need. Yall remember the website?

if i have the 'protector' thing now, will the replacement come with another? And am i gonna need the 4runner 'black' bolts mentioned in the spiker bolt test thread?

i know...

just dont wanna order the wrong ones & i still dont understand why there are so many options.

 

Definitely. Or, at least, the social event involving Toyota trucks formerly known as San G.

The roadway is closed between San G campground and Big Bear so-- added to the historical run of campground closures and event cancellations-- several of us are exploring alternatives to camp. If Oscar moves us to Holcomb Valley Ranch, the entire event could go on. Otherwise, if San G campground closes, it'll probably be as last year, smaller groups camping and running trails together. Last year we were divided between HVR, Heartbar, and the free camp near Holcomb Valley, which is first-come-first-to-claim.

Despite several of the 1st gens committed to arriving Thursday, instead of grabbing that free camp, we're still looking at the ranch. It's beautiful, quiet except for our own activities... and we keep hoping it'll be a new "home" for the event, if San G cannot host us.

 

How many sets of snowflakes does one guy need? Asking for a friend.

 

Everyone needs a full size spare. Or two. Or four, if they're $25/ea!

 

I really wish Oscar would change the date to something earlier in the year when the odds of closure aren’t always so high. Wish I knew what is holding him back from changing it. I get it’s not “official” this year, but it could so easily be changed to a different date or moved like you said to Holcomb valley ranch. I saw the pictures from last year, looks like a pretty spot.
Although fingers crossed San G doesn’t close down, I really love the social aspect of seeing so many people I like and others I haven’t met yet all at once. Plus the big party Saturday night . This year is going to be interesting for me. My cousin is getting married the Friday this all starts in San Clemente so I’ll be partying all night, then waking up early Saturday to run up and meet up with you guys to join in on some trail fun

There’s never enough
Start making furniture out of them, maybe stack 2, put on a glass top, wham coffee table!

 

if my trailer was 6 lug i'd be hunting another set of the starfish wheels.

From the bolt test thread.

Post showing my part number from my order for my 01 which should be same as your 02 but not certain. You would just need the joints not the bolts.

 

When i looked it up the last time someone posted the link i think it said i needed the same ones @Sunnier got.

 

I try to be knowledgeable in the ball joint category but I haven't been able to buy and install ball joints in every year first gen to ever be sure what everyone needs. Wish there was a good way to know for certain what changed in which years to know for certain.

 

https://www.tundras.com/threads/1st-gen-lunch-table-general-discussion.60450/page-1653 Post 49583. Sorry, Buddy, somehow I missed your question. Good job, New Nick, for answering up, so I saw it again.

As your truck and mine are littermates, even down to TRD alleles, the part numbers should be the same.

 

Just got to this alert. Yep. Should be samesies.

 

Verified, same as @NickB_01TRD.

did they come with new protector boots?
& the 9011910933 comes up as the 'green' bolt on toyota parts deal.

the 9008010066 that you ordered show the flanged head, but just says new.

9010510505 comes up as gold.

they going for the bait & switch?

 

FWIW, there was a study back in 2019 that was pointing to beer having even better probiotic function than yogurts like Activia, etc.

And it saw a recent boost from (another?) study concluding the same recently

Gist being:

​

 

Only specific types of beer mentioned in that first article and only one per day. Alcohol can also cause leaky gut syndrome which is anything but good for your gut health.

Give this a listen if you get time.

 

Sounds super sexy though eh.

I'm not even drinking one a day these days, beer-wise, and no booze. Even if you average out what I drink on days where I may have more than one, it still doesn't come out to more than 2-3/week.

 

Like most Americans, I appreciate science that supports my existing beliefs.

 

But you forgot the quotations on "science", so I LMFTFY

 

That's where I differ from so many of my peers. I know science as the language of actual physical reality.

 

Yes, I too find it strange how some folks these days tend to treat the "pseudo" preceding their "science" like a silent syllable.

 

Science isn't truth. It's our limited understanding of our observations. Often times it is a direct reflection of reality, but sometimes not. The idea that we understand everything we observe has been disproven over and over again. Wait 10 minutes and like the weather, our understanding will change and the "truth" will change with it. We (human kind) has been here like 12 minutes, what do we know?

Toyota releasing a small pickup? But, naturally, not expected to make it here, Asia only... WOMP WOMP. Apparently they want another Ford lawsuit (Rangga / Ranger)

Wiper blades, OEM part numbers, where to buy, come up a zillion times I think? I will go measure mine, I think I have fancier housings which should fit oem blades, like the premium OEM style option that I swapped to when I got the truck back so might be a longer insert than the stock setup? My pal put some tricos or other crap on at some point or maybe I did, so I wanted back to OEM.

I found the inserts for both tacomas easily, just need the tundra.

 

No one commenting this morning has mentioned "truth" or "observation". I mentioned the language used to express currently known facts. I concede that, sometimes what we know changes when new facts are discovered.

I think it's super bizarre how many people ignore long-established facts because they want to dismiss all "science".
Quotes added for individuals in that group, self-sorted.

 

I skip OEM personally. Trico is typically the best bang vs. buck, but after using my Bosch Icons, it's all I use on any of our cars and our immediate family's cars, since I typically do all the small work for them.

Lookup tool is there. I know they're spendy. I think others here use them, @FirstGenVol comes to mind.

 

Was hoping for a cool 70s week but only 90s for the remainder of the week while I’m out.

I’m thankful it hasn't really gotten over 95F this year.

 

I guess I wasn't aware someone could actually die from a spicy chip challenge…

https://www.wcvb.com/amp/article/massachusetts-teen-dies-after-one-chip-challenge/44993464

 

Bosch blades are awesome. The last set came on my truck when I bought it in January of 2016 and lasted until January of 2022. We've received 50-60" of rain the last several years.

 

Literally the opening line: "While officials say it's too early to know if the extremely spicy chip contributed to the 14-year-old's death, doctors say ingesting its ingredients can cause dangerous side effects."

That's called hype and speculation, not news. I hate garbage like that gets passed off as legitimate "news" these days.

 

Has it ever happened before?
