1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

They are $320 a piece brand new from Toyota and appear to still be available. Those are my faves. They are $2200 a set on fleabay

 

Yes, I did see they are still available. Perfect.

 

You don't have the secondary trans cooler in front of your condenser?

 

Yes, but I'm going to by-pass the radiator entirely.

 

FN WHEELS makes them in 17". Black, grey and bronze.

 

It would be kinda cool to get a storage tank with a circ pump and have hot water for showers using that internal loop on the rad

 

If you replace your radiator you really shouldn't have to worry about the cooler failing.

I'd also see if you really need to get a bigger cooler before you go out and buy one. I wonder if you'd be able to just use the stock external cooler. I've found that my transmission stays pretty cool and I'd be worried about "over-cooling" it and never reaching operating temp.

 

Right because the in radiator unit is more of a fluid warmer for cold temps.

 

Exactly. Same thing with the oil "cooler"

 

Only you can prevent forest fires. Err... Prevent cold showers.

 

Our trucks have an oil cooler?

 

It's what the oil filter screws onto. It's got two small coolant lines that come from above. Maybe it's only on TRD or tow package trucks?

 

The radiator was replaced with an OEM one <3 yrs ago. The entire cooling system has been redone with OEM parts, actually, and not many miles logged since. Cooling system is in A1 condition. And, here in Satan's anus, we don't have getting-up-to-temp concerns. My goal is two-fold: no pink milkshake issues to be concerned about and consistently acceptable trans temp. It can be done.

 

Ah. Didn't think about the possibility of not having warmup time.

 

No worries, you were on the correct path with your thinking and I appreciate your input.

 

This thing. I traced one of the coolant lines that goes to the throttle body I think. Up there somewhere.

 

Been a little since I've been on and man y'all were active. 16 pages I missed haha.

anyways @shifty`

 

Our trucks have oil?

 

Sooooo, Toyota Jesus has a legal team? Impressive.

 

Welcome back to the shit show DK!

My sentiments exactly.

 

I thought it was summer in milbourne.

 

Holy shiza. My TC uniball LBJs just showed up. I just ordered em Tuesday.
Just waiting on the Solo LCAs to show up next Tuesday. I actually ordered those last Friday. Weird.
The parts pipe got drastically widdled down over the last few months, then grew again this week haha

 

I have been running exclusively on the AUX cooler in front of the rad since the day I bought this truck 3 yrs ago and have not had any issues.
I'm not doing any towing, hill climbing, or mountains.... strictly street queening it.

 

"Legal team", I think he just forgot the quotes there, because he's full of shit.

How do I know he's full of shit?

Anyone who mentions publicly, "I have a legal team on it" CLEARLY doesn't have a legal team on it. The first thing a lawyer tells you is to (1) shut your fucking mouth, and (2) never signal you're getting lawyers involved, lest evidence gets destroyed, people have time to string together stories and people to corroborate, you basically tank your case before it happens.

That guy is a fucking idiot, or if he actually has a lawyer, their lawyer either doesn't have control of their client, or the lawyer is a fucking idiot (also?).

You never tell people you're lawyering up. They get to find out when they're served their Cease & Desist letter. And if they don't cease and desist, they get sued. But again, I don't care how many scores he's had buying abandoned storage units, that dude DOES NOT make enough money to afford the kinda lawyer who would fight a case over social media drama. Shit would be SLOPPY and EXPENSIVE. You're better served just letting it go and taking your con-tastic shit elsewhere.

 

For those of you who are wanting to have this read aloud to you:

 

Yeah, well I’m an engineer though.

 

Now that's funny
