1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

Yes, but that song was Sour Grapes, off Liveage. And that was the actual reference. For some reason I linked Coolidge. I'm glad you got it though.

 

@shifty` I was thinking of the intro to sour grapes. so I guess i did miss the reference

 

HAHA. It was also on my favorite album - Somery

 

I think it was on Enjoy! also.

All three were awesome. But Liveage had wicked energy to it.

 

Well of course. It was 'live'. They have always ripped live. It's a minority of bands that sound as good or better live than on studio recordings. I'd say they're definitely one of them. 35 years later still playin shows too

 

Yes, but if you plan on any serious wear, make sure you go with a stouter steel block, not alloy. Alloy has been known to crack in half, whether lifting or lowering, and WHACK! when it comes free.

I've seen them live a few times. Never been disappointed. I think Two Things At Once is my all-time fave, good compilation. I'm kinda sad the "incel" crowd has picked them up as anthem music. But that'll never stop me from listening to them. Lots of memories tied to my brother in their music.

I heard a really good mid-pandemic podcast on Spotify w/Milo, not long after he got laid off from his sciencey job. Lots of crazy stuff about Bill and his relationship with his dad in there. If I find it, I'll link it up and tag you. Spotify doesn't keep good tabs on what you listen to.

 

Nice!

 

Got a big chunk of my dual battery kit done this afternoon. Fell off the wagon on a tiedown. The OGE bracket raises the stock battery enough that the stock tiedown doesn’t work. And a lead acid battery is not going to work well with the OGE tiedown. So now I have to source myself a tiedown.

and I lost a nut from one of the mrbf fuse holders but that’s less of a big deal. Gotta order a double anyway.

 

@shifty` - we have some people do this ridonkulous stuff to their trucks

 

We have a serious rear body clearance issue. On top of all of the other issues.

EDIT: thank goodness it’s 4WD

 

If you can stand the humidity, the Mississippi Gulf Coast is delightful. Love Bay St Louis and Pass Christian area.

Ugh. This asshole's company just tore down a hugely pivotal, historical studio in Atlanta to build a timeshare. And they knew damn well what they were doing too.

 

Spiker makes the hood struts for 1GTacoma, replaces that annoying hood stick. Other stuff too I suppose.

 

FIFY

the more you know, the laster you are to get canned. You got 2 years, be the easy answer. They got swamp coolers down there & @Tundra2 will bring you beer.

 

Yes but does it mean I need to eat catfish once a week?

Isn’t a Laster a boot shaper?

 

MOOR. it's a synonym for Tundra. Toyota trucks get T names, but since the new 1st gen is about less I think Toyota Moor is a good name choice.


saw this while browsing synonyms. Seems to fit a lot of FGT drivers.

Hell, that's what I do, It was my job, It's a way of life!
All that's missing is my pic!

 

This thread went over a million views in the last day or so. Not bad, or is it, lol?

 

IZ ver. of Somewhere/Rainbow was our wedding isle song. Love it.

Here is the boy's return to the water. Not bad after 14 weeks out. It's a phone video of stills, so...

I’m thinking 4.30 gears for me

 

lift blocks need ladder bars.

Anyone know if the 3rd gen is using the same diffs as the turd gens?

1gt: 7.5" front/8" rear
2gt: ?8" front?/10.5" rear
3gt: ???/???

 

I saw yesterday that the rear diff is bigger on the 3gt. But scanned not read. Godzilla was in there, probably paid more attention and can report next time he crashes this 1gt thread.

 

It's time for another coolant flush on the RAV4 and apparently Advance Auto has stopped carrying the Zerex Asian blend coolant. I don't really want to buy the expensive Toyota coolant.

Anyone have suggestions on where to buy? Different brand maybe?

 

Our little town Walmart carries Zerex Asian blend

 

Napa has it as well

 

My walmart & napa never had it, but azone did.

Would fancy coolant like redline or engine ice work?

 

Now that I'm looking, it seems like I can buy Toyota coolant for the same price as Zerex. In the past I would buy from Advance and they always had 15-20% discount codes I could use so the savings were noticeable. And they would always send me $5 off coupons. I'm not really seeing any savings for Zerex now. Bummer.
