1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

What do you guys recommend for cleaning off thick dirt and grease? Brake cleaner and pressure washer?

 

I've also bought a number of Windows keys from Kinguin. They've always worked, but most the time I have to call to get them activated.

 

Depends on what it is, exactly. If there's no way I'm going to contaminate something with water, I'll use a pressure washer. Else I'm using a plastic putty knife to get the brunt of it off and a stiff nylon-bristle brush.

 

yea, degreaser & a brush. Careful around seals and connectors with pressure.

 

It's a lot of stuff. Skids, UCAs, LCAs, etc... all the remaining front end parts after spindle removals. I figure I need to protect the speed sensor somehow.

 

Speed sensor in a ziploc bag, seal it with duct tape.

 

Thank you!

Just placed a decent sized order, cheaper than Ourisman.

 

Just in time for me to have forgotten what it was i needed to order.

 

I keep a text note on my phone and computer to track part numbers, some wheel and tire info, and links to a few upgrades I've been wanting to do. What you just described happens to me all the time, so I've started to jot things down in each place so I can always spend money.

 

Is there really any carnival/bar style food better than fried jalapeno poppers?
I think not.

 

Piggily wiggly chili cheese fries

 

Guess it depends if you're driving or not, because the ladies that show up with a cooler full of hot tamales at 2am bring the goodness.

Smokin' deal (I think) on a rust-free southern DC V8/4WD... https://hickory.craigslist.org/cto/d/wilkesboro-2005-toyota-tundra-4x4-sr5/7737616794.html

Shoulda left the crack in cali.

 

It’s a dealer pretending to be a private seller.

Nobody describes a truck as “Value + Performance + Quality + Comfort + Reliability + Style” unless they’re in the game.

 

I got the same suspicion, but then I saw it posted in the middle of a n'hood and it made me second guess, so I didn't reply saying that.

 

There are plenty of those shady parking lot dealers around. You know the ones dealing out of a trailer with 20 vehicles crammed into 10 spots on a 2000 sq ft lot. They typically have a chain linked fence topped with barbed wire all around.

This is probably one of my favorite products right now. You can dilute it, but I usually full send when its undercarriage stuff, grease, grime, post offroading. Spray on and pressure wash off.

 

Oooof. There’s my truck with the vvti. I knew it would show up eventually. My patience just wasn’t Jedi level enough.

If that truck is as advertised, that’s a good deal in my book.

 

I'm pretty lucky that there's a couple small farm stores near me that buy bulk spices and repackage. I bought some smoked paprika the other day and it was $1.25.

Also have plenty of farms so it's pretty easy to pick up beef/pork/chicken if you're willing to pay the up front cost. Beef/pork usually ends up about $5/lb after processing, chicken a dollar or two less depending on the farm.

Looks like a nice kit!

 

Member @baraynavab makes some good looking kits too. Not sure how his pricing stacks up, but he posted pics on here and definitely looked as high of quality if not higher than what I see at that link.

 

Man, my in-laws are visiting family close to there right now. My F-I-L has been looking for a truck like mine, I am going to tell him to get his butt over there and look at it. It's even camper-shell ready!

 

It was up for 2 days when I posted that. I'm shocked it hasn't sold. Or maybe it has and they've taken it down.

Oof. Found another hole of good dirt in the yard. Sorry shoulders. Gonna bring my griddle & see how many breakfasts a full 15lb tank makes.

 

I've always loved this color. And this is a flare-less one. The added pinstriping and stuff I think actually works. Good price, and v8/4WD. Seems like a good deal, looks pretty clearly rust-free too. https://asheville.craigslist.org/ctd/d/franklin-2004-toyota-tundra-doublecab/7738492132.html
