1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

careful, i got kicked out of an applebees for asking a girl at the bar how she earned a black eye.

 

WTH?
I would have given them a really bad review.

 

But it was cheap margarita night.

 

Damn, I would have driven to Montana for that deal. The bumper alone is a sweet deal at that price, add in the winch and lights and definitely worth a road trip. My ARB is already mounted up, got it lined up with the rest of the body today, and fog light mounting parts for it are already on order, so I'm not buying a second one.

 

I'll get a better look at mine tomorrow and take some photos. I'd rather get it swapped in than spend a couple weeks sending dented radiators back and forth to Summit.

Dale's looking good!

 

buy it, and bring it to merus oct 17. I’ll buy yours & we’ll hot swap em. I didnt know that chrome ring came off.

 

The hoop on the front is optional to install and they pulled off the rubber covers. Looks like it still sticks out just as far as mine.

 

I'm clear across the country so I definitely can't but I'm sure someone here is within drivable distance . 500 is a pretty good deal

 

Come on guys, don't post this shit. 10000% a scam. Don't cause someone on here some trouble.

Profile with only one friend, every single photo on the profile was posted 18 hours ago. Nevada area code... when you look up the phone number carrier it is a VoIP, so that's a burner number.

Google the phone number and it links to other Facebook groups where they posted other too good to be true ads in California.

 

No problem. I guess I'll take the advice given on a few occasions and not post

 

But wouldnt it be fun to catch a scammer? Maybe hog tie em? Damn, the chrome hoop would come in handy for that…

 

Lord Humungous!

 

Stopped by the parts store and this 2JZ turbo Cressida pulled up next to me.

Is that mud or rust?
I still have barely any rust on mine…..

 

I think he’s referring to the freckles of rust on there.

 

Just pulled the trigger on a Lisle 1/2” impact driver with case & some extra JIS bits for $55 total on Amazon. Hopefully all goes well and I don’t get someone’s used return.

Don’t need it, just wanted it since they’re hard to come by with a case for a half decent price. I certainly could’ve used one to help tear down my used alternator for a rebuild.

I seem to be on a tool buying spree here lately. Damn you Donnie and your F’d up tariffs! Haha

 

FTFW! This needs to me made into a meme. I'm on it.

 

Gonna get him some boots for Merus?

 

Wife been after me to take her to races.
We here so she has to go with me to next 4x4 event that’s close enough to drive and watch.

Burned some meat today while watching the game. Made a make shift charcoal pit grill. Buddy brought over one of those tomahawk ribeyes. Turned out yum.

 

Looks awesome! The one I made this week was much like that, but the bone was cut even to the meat.
You gonna tease us or follow up with a sliced pic?

 

Kind of offended that you think we are dog shoes kind of people.

 

I didn't think you would, but I was concerned about his foot.

 

Feel like I actually cut my wrenching teeth a bit today. Valve cover gasket. Got to try out the new Wera Zyklops wobble extension. I had never used one before. I'll just say this....having the proper tool makes a HUGE difference....night and day. (I know...pretend it's a Tundra). Thanks for the tips, tricks, and encouragement! Rewarding myself with some Knipex long 45-degree needlenose.

 

Some of those cam lobes look rough

 

Spent an hour figuring out how to upload that Actron scanner O2 data along with fuel trims and everything else. Had to reinstall the app to get it to work.

Tomorrow when I get those O2 sensors installed, I’ll collect new data and do a graphical comparison of voltage and fuel trim numbers for those interested.

 

I thought exactly the same. Look pitted. It's on a 20 year old minivan (pretend Tundra) that is of unknown maintenance....probably not the best. Didn't have the time to mess with the cams, but I hear ya....

Also managed to get broken lug studs out using the bfunke method, as opposed to the des2mtn method. Tried the later....not enough room to fit the c-clamp! Dammit!
