1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

Unless using something like POR15 suggest removing before painting. If the wire wheel isn't working can try one of or abrasive discs or sandblasting. Either would likely take just a few minutes to clean that up.

 

What about adjusting the mounting brackets so you have 1/8-3/16" gap?

 

I would attack that more. Needs to look more like what the top side is like in your previous picture.

 

I don't see how they could be adjusted. It bolts directly to very specific points on the frame.

 

Yeah I was being lazy but you guys convinced me to stay at it. I may have to make another China Freight run. Made more progress though.

 

Make sure to use the POR-15 metal prep for adhesion on clean metal if using POR-15 otherwise it’ll start to flake off in a week.

 

Grind a slot in the bracket where the bolt goes through.

 

Using a wire wheel or cup on a drill might help too, you can run it both directions unlike the angle grinder, I’ve had good luck dislodging rust that way.

Met up with @The Black Mamba today. I legitimately think it’s the first time I’ve ever met a forum member in all the years online lol.

 

It’s always weird the first time

 

You’re weird. We’re cool

 

@Tantal is the one who lives in Bedford. I couldn't remember the name earlier.

 

Oh I’m weird AF, don’t mind me…..

 

Also spotted this guy in the wild. I dig it

 

Post it here too https://www.tundras.com/threads/tundra-spotted-thread.14695/

 

Believe that’s a taco

 

Tacos wishin they were tundras again

 

That one’s doing a really good impression

 

Fooled the snek

 

Can confirm....





I'm completely cool. Not weird.

 

Until you drive it and there’s no additional power beyond last years taco.

 

Damn. That looks way better than the renders on Toyota's site.

 

It just can’t be slower than last years taco.

 

The power will be the same, but where it comes in and the torque will be much better. Similar to how the new Tundra barely has more HP than the outgoing V8, but is loads faster because of where the power comes in and the 10 speed transmission.

 

Yes it is possible your wire wheel got tired and no longer has bite spinning in the same direction. Did you get the knarly twisted end one?

 

I really don’t like the harsh edgy body lines of the new Taco.

 

Saw this today. Thought of @bmf4069
