1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

They hit something real hard with that plow to bend the cutting edge back like that.

 

I dunno I see a dash trim kit that would fetch $150+, heated seats another $600+ or just $100 for all the harnesses/buttons/switches, center console is another $200-250 complete, steering wheel with airbag/radio controls/clockspring is another $200, and that's just scratching the surface, not even getting into window glass, other electronics, mirrors, bits on the dash, alarm, upgraded JBL sound system, door internals and motors, etc.

Just taking the bits I mention out, and not touching the engine, the parts are worth way more than the whole, I think.

 

Hmmm….my older brother, if only it wasn’t NH, the frame and I was 10 yrs younger, I’d offer him $3.

 

@shifty` or @BubbaW
This would be the correct PN for a tailgate latch right? And I don’t need to buy a lock if mine works fine, just swap it over?

I didn't use that one but yeah the lock will swap no problem.

 

One from the rain forest?
At the beginning of the trip, I noticed it was flexing in the bottom right corner, so I was trying to be gentle, and this morning first thing trying to pack, it came out into my hand hahah that was fun.

 

@FrenchToasty that is the correct part # for your SR5 and as @Festerw mentioned, lock should be no problem. I always put my VIN # with my order if buying from a Toyota online place like McGeorge. They’ll email me if I screwed up

 

Thanks, I’ll check with them too for a price difference, it’s nice getting it local though

 

That or Rock Auto I think. Been a few years but I think I went with the Dorman one. Felt pretty close to the one I removed but I can't guarantee it was the original either.

 

I’ve got a laundry list after this trip……
Pretty sure rear wheel bearing on the passenger side is more toasted than me!
I’ll see if I can limp it along for a while longer(drove 200+miles home with the most horrendous noise and vibration) and do gears and a locker at the same time while it’s all out.

 

I pulled numbers for a paint-matched one from Toyota. But I can't seem to find the post. If it's interesting, and you don't just want plain black plastic.

 

SR5 life!!!! I assume the plain black ones open faster
@Darkness we will never forget

I been considering this combo since I heard about them both around the same time a year or so ago.

Ac & dc leafs (with add-a-leaf) seem close enough.

@FrenchToasty one of tour leafs is at least an inch longer than the other (Right). Center pins are lined up.


they're all different heights. If your truck has a lean, maybe swap springs?

 

Maybe stand them up side by side, that’s weird if one is longer than the other

 

Ok, wasnt an inch, but they'd all be the same length if they were compressed the same height.


AC has slightly longer 2nd & 3rd leafs, and yalls addaleafs are almost identical.

 

Just tossing this out there, since I haven't had to deal with Raceline yet. Some positive feedback.

The new wheels I ordered, they had a sticker in each box. Packing was great on the wheels and caps, it would take a nuclear detonation to screw a wheel up. But 3 of the 4 stickers dropped into the boxes had an issue where the decal was curling up at every edges, allowing it to grab the thin plastic bag it was in. This pretty much rendered the decal worthless because it was damn near impossible to peel the baggie material off the adhesive backing of the sticker.

I reached out to them this AM to point it out via chat on their website - they're on it. Got back to me in no time flat and are sending over a goodie bag. I dropped them a pic of the problem so they're aware of it. Never seen anything like this before... But needless to say, they're super pleasant to deal with and A+ customer support. I'm sure it's a problem with whoever they used to make the stickers, I don't expect a wheel manufacturer to make their own decals.

​

 

Boxes probably got hot. ?Or damp?

 

I had the same issue when I ordered wheels from them a couple years ago. They aren't the best quality stickers, but I love the wheels.

 

I have yet to find anyone bitching about the quality of the wheels, or hearing issues of cracks or folding on their wheels. Having them in-hand, they feel pretty stout but surprisingly light, overall. I'm stoked.

I think a few others around here may have them also, @ColoradoTJ also maybe? I like what I got. Beats the hell out of spending the $400/wheel Method wanted, too. Cheapest price I could find on anything they made was $340/ea, and SCS was closer to $400/ea too.

 

I picked another wheel for a matching spare around Black Friday last year - was still a bit more than I paid per wheel for the rest of the set, but not too bad at all


Of course, it's only got 5 holes in it, so maybe that's why it's cheaper...

 

I definitely got out the door a bit cheaper than you, and I think I'm going to use the 10% coupon the vendor supplied to get a spare, proactively...

​

 

Dammit, price went up on the wheel.

When I purchased, they were about $50 cheaper than buying direct from Raceline. Today, they're $30 more than buying direct from Raceline. Trying to get them to price match, I guess we'll see how it goes. Lesson learned kids ... always buy a 5th wheel

EDIT: BB Wheels is friggin' awesome. They offered to pricematch with Raceline. So far, I cannot complain whatsoever about these guys. One of the better shopping experiences I've had from an aftermarket parts vendor in a long ass time.

 

They showed $219 in Google shopping, but for my model (946G-79060-12), they're asking $296.

After seeing that, and BB Wheels offered to pricematch Raceline's discount price at $251.60, I went ahead and dropped in an order. Picked up some nuts while I was at it. Another $330 down the hole after tax. Would've preferred that to be more like $280 out the door, but beggars can't be choosers I guess...

 

I needed a Y Strap for my spare. Then a second for a second spare. @Sunnier turned me on to Mac’s Tie Downs. I will never buy straps from any other company. They are that good and their customer service is amazing. I have 5 Y straps now, don’t ask me why or how, long story.

 

Those look nice. I wish I had the space for them. Right now I have cheap no-name tie downs and my air compressor taking up all the space of my cubby hole under the rear seat.

 

Did they say, 'keep 'em'? I love that company: 'Back in the Day' customer service!

Naw, these'd be for if you keep a spare (or multiples) stored in the truck bed. Either lying flat, or vertically, like race trucks do.
