1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

Weird gimmick if she's not related to him

 

We drove to Asheville and back today. My wife loves that damn outlet mall there. Today I learned they have a tool store there which was pretty sweet. It was mainly Ryobi and Rigid but they had some decent deals. This 4 tool kit was $208. Not bad for someone starting from scratch.



Ryobi with Honda engine pressure washer for $240. Looks like the same one at Home Depot is $400.

 

Happy Saturday, best gens!
Back to the grind. Sunday morning couldn't come soon enough...

 

@VR6T have you figured out the leaf spring clamp and bumpstop situation yet?

I highly recommend Wheeler's superbumps or sumo springs

 

"bunpstoooooo" has such a nice ring to it. Sounds almost like a pet name. For poop.

 

In a British accent

 

Bumps stops yes, shakes no. I think I'm just gonna grade 8 uclamp them

 

Ronald Finger has a YouTube Channel where he fixed a Fiero and a Motor sickle as well as a Datsun. He now working on a Tiburon. Check it out.

I always like that body style of the tiburon. I always felt they got shafted I really thought they should have been a rear wheel drive or an all-wheel drive 300 horsepower V6. They really would have rivaled the Nissan 350Zs. That in the automatic transmissions with the bump shifts in them really really sucked

 

Tiberon or Corolla GTS were always my starting cars in N4S Underground. Or was is Midnight Club Dub Edition? It's all a blur these days.

 

serving suggestions.

 

It's like the lottery, you add your money to support & elevate someone else's prize. Your only control is limiting how much you add to their pot.

 

Wife's going to make you get a job soon - so you have less time for shopping.

 

You haven't done the "Fog Light" Mod??

 

negative. I've read about it but I really didn't wanna dick around with it since the nilights came its own plug and play set up. So I just went with that

 

$100 for headers

 

That's @Nicklovin, he posted them for free in the SoCal Craigslist thread, so I'm hoping to get them. Especially since I haven't seen his truck yet.

 

glad to help out a local tundra buddy when I can

 

Word on the street is your coming to dude ranch @san G this year? I plan on making the haul again this year

 

That’s new to me but I’m interested, what’s dude ranch?

 

I assumed by this and your excitement for meat balls, you were coming

dude ranch is something that has happened the past two years because the fires and closures. A group of superminds, had a site B just in case for the past two years and it worked out great!!! It’s Holcomb valley ranch; we deemed it the dude ranch, lots of fun and great memories with the tundra crew

also since it’s private, we were allowed to have fires while everywhere else was on lockdown, @Cruzer enjoyed that part

 

How easy is a swap from AT to a MT?

 

2500+ fab work

 

Hahaha the meat balls

Definitely going to San G this year, well unless the new job prevents that, already got my site reserved too.
Ahhh Holcomb valley ranch, I heard a bunch of tundras were over there but I wasn’t cool enough last year for an invite


Are a bunch of y’all planning on camping there or just the plan b for the inevitable closures

 

We’re bringing dude ranch to San G this year!

 

What do the best gen bros think about 2nd gens? I've seen a few 08's for sale at a decent price and under 200k miles. With my daughter in the back now and my son sitting behind me, the access cab is not cutting it.

I'm definitely keeping my eyes open for an 05-06 double cab, but i think i could stomach an 07-09. Might even go the sequoia route to full soccer mom lol.

 

I think the only negative I've heard often is how much the 5.7 drinks gas. Even worse than our trucks I think. I'm sure you'd like it.

If I were a lot richer I'd buy a 3rd gen. There is a guy at the gym that has a white one on 37's and it looks amazing.


yeah I said it...

 

They’re good trucks, I have several friends with them. Just a lot bigger, and drinks a lot more gas

 

I like the early ones, when they were still kinda sleek. And i like that the AC's could be had with a long bed. But nah. Get a van.

I don’t even know you anymore!!!
