1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

She's coming for you, with her zoomies

 

Anyone know the 'weight rating' of AC tailgate cables? Just curious, i know i've loaded the atv with the tailgate on, so at least 300 lbs. just curious if there a number recommended as a max.

 

So you are mounting a stripper pole?!

 

Yea, just wondering if its midgets only.

 

It’s even cooler for whoever is following you if you ever make it out to hit trails with us

 

Friendly reminder that it’s 7/11 today. Take the kiddos to 7-eleven for free slurpee day. Or for yourselves.

 

About nine fiddy on a good day.

 

2018! LOL, that's like Barney went to the pet store to get BAM-BAM a saber-tooth tiger cub out of date automotive pricing.
but you got yours, so you're all good.

My next 1GT may end up being a 1GSequoia - still way cheaper & so much easier to get Paw Paw's cap color matched.

 

Just waiting for the next trail run

That poor tail gate

 

Can't help but ask myself, wtf has happened when this guy was the biggest alive BITD... ?

We stopped working the fields and started sitting behind desks all day.

 

Im sitting at a table next to two of these guys rn at Lupe tortilla

 

Any detail compound recommendations for my white tundra? I think it's a single stage white right?

Thinking of buffing the whole truck out as a birthday gift to myself and would love to make her shine.

 

Damn I have a couple coworkers that are that big....
I feel we have a lot of the fast food to blame. Plus so many more office jobs and people have different lazier life styles now... me included

 

You're gonna wanna ask @shifty` about that. He resurrected his white paint.

 

Ohhhhhh buddyyyyyyyyyyyyy @shifty` I seek your guru detailing advice

 

@FirstGenVol

 

I seem to remember stalking.... errr drooling errr reading through someone's build thread with a white 1gt who buffed it info perfection

 

I bought an 03 two years ago for $2800

I adore the 5vz but buying a Tundra with a 5vz is just stupid IMHO, especially for nearly $10k. At least get the the 4.0 V6 from the 05-06 with the 6 speed. No timing belt either, it's got a chain and only about 10 less HP than an non-vvti 4.7

The 5vz is only 190hp and 220tq. Perfect for a compact truck. Not so much a fullsize.
1GR is 236hp 266tq
Non-vvti 2uz is 245hp 315tq

 

Fair point. So we don’t really give any F’s for MT FGT unless ‘05-‘06?

 

Then again I have no vvti and my 2nd gen Tacoma has no balls, nor does my 3rd gen at low rpm so maybe I’m the kind of idiot who wouldn’t know big balls if they were slapped across my face?

 

Or supercharged V6 manual 2000-2006, or the unavailable V8 manual combo

 

I sorta feel like SC is dumb, take a reliable engine and make it suspect, why? Better off with a transplant I’d think. Or EV conversion. Which is my real plan for the ‘05. Then vrrrrooooom (without the audio of course).

 

On the flipside the 5vz is bullet proof. More so than the 2uz. There's a guy with a supercharged single cab 5vz manual '97 Taco with over 500k miles on the clock. It's been supercharged since it first rolled off the lot. That's the year the SC came out and the last year you could buy a V6 single cab Tacoma

 

You’re taking about this one?

3400 lbs (my ‘05 RC) is one thing (I could see going with the 4.0 there if I don’t EV) but for FGT I say F T S and go EV all day. My fat pig is 5500 lbs so no way that SC is gonna make it a TRX.

then again maybe just buy the TRX in the first place yeah?

 

That's the one! I miss being on TW. Their 1GTaco crowd is super tight knit like our 1GTundra crowd. TW is how I met the vast majority of my wheeling buddies

on the TRX... I'd say either buy the TRX or lower your expectations haha

Or buy a first gen 6.2 raptor, upgrade the suspension and supercharge it

 

Well shit, new coil didnt fix the xr. I was hoping to stay out of the wiring. Someone has done this bike dirty in the last 30 years. Some of the grounds are zip-tied to the chassis.

 

It is single stage which means you can bring the shine back.

Shifty has some good tips too. There is more than one way to go about it. Even 4 years after fixing mine the paint still looks good. I wax it once or twice a year with different products.
