1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

The only thing I know to specifically look for is the cam tower leak. This post has pics of it. https://www.tundras.com/threads/8-1...ership-have-cam-tower-leak.36324/#post-917632
That and the passenger seat has some staining that makes me wonder if it could have been flooded? IDK how you would look for that.

Beyond those I am more thinking of the general condition and whether or not there have been any mods.. Stuff like uneven body gaps that might indicate hidden damage, if the 4x4 functions, frame condition (rust and damage/straight or if it's been drilled for sliders in the past), bed liner adhesion, and general paint/body condition.

If he's as mechanical as the rest of you in here he'd know better what to look for than I would. There are no pics of the engine bay so I don't know what to ask about on that. Fluids up to snuff and correct color, I guess?

 

Too bad the 2.5 guys aren't cool enough to have a thread...
So ... you wanna buy / just bought a Turd Gen Tundra, eh?

 

Because the answer is always yes, obviously.

 

You want a thicc taco or a truck fat enough to be embarrassing at buffets?

compensating for the dork bike?

j/k i get it, but those parts are gonna be just as cancelled as 4.7 parts now that toyota knows they can sell 90's plymouth quality.


Send me a link to the ad, so i can tell him.

 

I got a big boy bike now.


Yeah, it's going the same way, but it'll take longer to need the upkeep. With luck, I'll be dead before that is an issue.

Wholly shit, that could fund a helluva long travel supercharged ls swapped solid axle overlanded 1st gen.

i'm only $2k in & have a rig i can take anywhere but over ledges. And another $2k would get me the skids, sliders, and leafs i'd need to get me everywhere else.

 

I don't have the money. I have the trade.

 

Nonsense, sell that bright orange booger in cali or austin for more than trade in & build a '96-'04 4runner. Show pics to prove you need a truck for truck things.

 

Dude, if my Taco didn't struggle with my bike on my utility trailer because of a headwind I wouldn't even be shopping...

 

What kinda bike you got now?


my buell would fit now that i broke the windshield off. Hit a patch of gravel while watching a neighbor dog race me across his yard & wrecked it.


I dont think i ever confessed on the public forum. Fucked up my pride, shoulder, & ego, but confidence stayed strong. Still ride the minibike cranked to 11.

 

I have a 2019 Super Tenere.

 

Ouch! That's a bummer that you took a spill. You fixing the bike up, or is it toast?

 

that aint no dork bike. Woot! Congrats!

 

the frame is cheap, the magnesium cowl support isnt & i cant weld it. Kinda thinking about putting this rowdy 984cc sportster engine into a sxs or dunebuggy. Maybe a banderlero or dwarfcar. Just keeping it in the garage to remind me of my dumbassery right now.

 

Thanks. I dig it. Wouldn't have minded a bit lighter bike, but you can't find them in shaft drive unless you want to go Italian. I'm not a good enough mechanic to have an Italian bike.

 

What's the price on the cowl support?

 

$400 for the frame, $400 for the cowl support, $1k for the bodywork... and i have a 1200 ulysses. Should probably throw the rowdy engine at a 4 wheeled toy, since i know it already brings the noise & i'd spend 3-4x that on another 100hp/5 spd anything.

 

So ridable for $800? That's not terrible.

 

nyet. Ridable for $2k, i'm also due for fork seals, brakes, and a rear tire. I'm so lucky it happened in my neighborhood, anywhere else, i'd have died. I needed 4 stitches at 30ish mph.


we live on rocks; and rocks dont move. Maybe $3k because i effed up an '02 only raw uncoated rear wheel.

 

I like the color.

 

I still want an MT-10 in those colors. Or an MT-09 SP.

 

the beige of a shit when you drink too much milk?

 

It looked pretty blue to me.

 

Sorry, outdoors. Phone aint as bright as it used to be.

 

I dunno, in my feed you're the guy on top, which makes @GODZILLA a bottom.

 

It took time for it to grow on me. When I first saw the grey tank on the black I thought it was out of place. Months later when I was shopping I saw it again and fell in love. IDK. I might be getting dumber in my old age.

 

You wont be easy to find in an emergency. Get a day-glo jacket or helmet.

black & white didnt help me, i got passed by 3 cars before a milf up the street recognized some trauma. Took me home, but wouldnt leave before i agreed to go to a hospital. Only took me $12 to get home after wound cleansing and stitches. They even bought the uber.
