1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

Hell yeah! Mine too!

The car has been an absolute trooper. It's been on basically non-stop since 9pm central time yesterday when I got done changing the oil. Now here it is, 1,436 miles later, 25 hours later with maybe 30 minutes of actually being off.

Just checked into the hotel here in Buffalo, WY. Gonna be changing oil and transmission fluid when I get home...

 

The virus that never sleeps

 

No idea about the 02, I found the sway bar to be a touch more work than I expected, but no big deal. I'm still weighing the pros and cons of pulling that on a DD, but I haven't put it back yet.

 

My skid rows are like new, no contact with the bar, but I disconnected it for a noise check, then just pulled it. It was easier because I had the trans skid already off for the crossmember swap. We might both be selling our links, I can't give them up yet, but, I don't find myself putting them back on either. I'll just keep driving and decide eventually. I'm guessing you push your truck a bit to bash your skids that much.

 

Probably not exactly what you had in mind, but I did some whacky chop action on my old F150 that seemed like a great idea at the time. I fabbed a rack/cradle below for it to sit in, and welded it to the cross member.

For my next trick, I built a custom tailgate that had a big hole in it allowing the wheel to poke out the rear. 35” tires. I did it all out of 1.25” 16g steel square tubing. Decided it was in my way more often than not, lifting a 5 gal compressor over it to load was stupid. Then fabbed a mount bolted to passenger bedside holding it vertical, and since I had saved the piece that I had cut out of the bed, I welded some hinges on it and had a little secret storage compartment under there.

Thanx bud. My balls are rust free tho. It’s deez…

drive around for a month or more, then for shits and giggles, put your sway back on, go for a rip-around, then report back. In my experience, I got used to how it handled without and didn’t realize how much of a difference it actually made until I reinstalled. Just sayin…… keep in mind, when you hit the dirt, you can pop off both links in under a minute with an impact or cordless socket wrench. Loosey goosey bro!

 

Happy belated bday

Looks like a pillars, driver kick panel, steering column and AC door sills to me. Fairly priced. But for moon mist not the dark stuff Dan wants.

 

Thanks, but there wasn't any surprise other than zero notice my bill was going to collections after being late for nearly 2 months.

 

I think this is how to resolve it:

I love this. That you did it; your evaluation of it; and that you shared it here, so others can assess without/before replicating. Thank you.

Edit: I’m not sure wut I did with ^ this post, or how to fix it. Inadvertently tactical.

 

Right color. But access cabs are different. Toyota made life hard for reg cab owners

 

Yup. I was going to get out and finally run the wiring for my amp this weekend. Stepped outside the garage, 82% humidity, about-faced, closed garage door and swapped out my splash aprons instead. "Feels like" temps were 101 for my area thanks to the humidity. I can't get motivated in that kinda garbage. I miss summers prior, where we were lucky to hit the 90s. The only thing biting was the mosquitos, not the heat.

 

The ad literally says ‘dark grey’

edit: oh YOU need moon mist. Gotcha. That’s why I tagged/quoted Dan.
I’ll keep an eye out for moon mist as well. What trim pieces are you after?

 

I tried. I’ll keep an eye out. Im always scanning thru fb market and offer up for whatever.

 

This part is super nutty confusing buuut, I will attempt to explain and surely I f it up / add to the confusion. Dan could word it better I'm sure.

Moon Mist / Grey is one color choice, Tan is another, Dark Charcoal is super rare (T3 edition and maybe some other trim levels / Sequoia but not super sure).
The Tan interior may have more than one tone, I don't know, never really looked it over well.
But, I know my truck well and there are two shades of grey for the stock interior. One is a light grey / blue and that's really what I think the "moon mist" color is named for/after? Then there are some darker grey pieces which I'd legitimately call dark grey but they match the light grey/moon mist for those specific panels.

The dark charcoal I believe Dan is going after is much darker, more of a black really, one guy here has it, I forget who, the lucky f'er with the T3 edition, @805Tundra maybe?

Anyway, yeah, the parts I'm looking for are specifically the pieces which are light, however the ones listed in this facebook listing are a match to my parts for the pieces which are shared between RC and AC. It's a strange interior with the two tone, I would definitely dig an all black setup and if I ever came across a smashed up T3 I would gladly pay for the trim parts. But the rear B pillars and rear window trim in the RC is maybe the tricky ones b/c it's only RC and RC was predominantly Tan interior from what Dan has posted?

 

Dan actually said that parts in the ad were the color that he was looking for just not the right parts so……
You need dark gray(grey?) Got it.

 

Ah, yes he did and looking closer, that kick panel is defs dark charcoal. The door sills look like a match to mine, maybe there is only one color on them for medium dark grey? F me man, colors

I could see nabbing the a pillars and kick but that wouldn't get me too far down the road so it'd be storing the easy trim pieces hoping to collect the full set. Like McD's monopoly. Still for that price a tiny bit tempting, just don't need the AC. Probably I'll just hold off and hope I come across some moon mist dash down the road and spend the effort on rehab of the rear piece which is fine just has some glue on it.

 

Step side access cabs had the dark grey too. Some sr5 03-04 reg tundras had the color too

 

So not quite as dire as hunting for T3 parts then? But still probably sub 10k total pool for those B pillars and rear window?

If you were me would you pick up that kick panel while it's available or wait? I'm not really committed to the full dark charcoal but maybe if I did segments it wouldn't look bad with light grey if done in matching pairs?

Are the door sills the same or different color?

 

Buy it.

 

Someone have their pieces computer modeled or scanned so the 3d printer folks can make em in any color.

I want mine made of the fluorescent red
weedeater string. Maybe some fibers of glass for reinforcement.

"Surprise!"

 

Does anyone remember the discussion about skinny tires a few months back? There was a link to some military looking tires / vendor.

If not, did you reply on it? Remember any "key" words that were shared that are fairly unique for our conversation around here?

 

You can get Kenda Klever's in 33x9.50R15 or 33x10.50R17. I had some Swamper TSL/SX2's in 35x10.50R17 back in the day. Here's my super secret stash of cheap off-road tires: https://www.intercotire.com/blem_list_0
