1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

Double cab…….

I cant speak for 3 car seats, but the 4runner works good for mamma bear and our two beasts

 

1st gen double cab will be good to go? Wife says pretty much crew max is the only option.
She’s driving a sienna

 

I've never had a FB account so I can't view that post.

That said, if it's anywhere inside the I-285 circle ("the perimeter") I can usually get to it within 5-25 minutes.
If it's south toward Fayetteville, abcinv is who I'd ping.
If north toward Alpharetta, baraynavab is who I'd ping.
I don't know any members on the east side towards Lithonia, Stone Mountain, Athens.
Also don't know any members west towards Douglasville, but I've made a few trips out that way in a pinch.

I've seen quite a few tempting parts trucks on the local CL being posted from Lilburn lately. Someone salvaging out that way has some tasty looking pics, Noah reached out to me about them a week or so ago, but I'm completely swamped juggling the two kids alone until the wife gets back on 3/8. I need to get a full-size 5-spoke split spare from somewhere, and the Lilburn salvage person is showing several trucks with them.

 

It’s a dash trim in dark grey (charcoal) located in Buford.

 

That's 1hr+ trek for me each way depending on traffic. I live really close to the state capitol building in a house I bought 20yrs ago, I'm selling when it's worth $1M+ and probably gtfo (retire) to a place like Buford. Current commute and proximity to the airport is too perfect to move any time before retiring.

It'd probably be a 20-25min drive for forum forum member baraynavab, who I just picked up a free 1st gen skid plate from. Anyone NE of ATL in, like, Gainesville, Flowery Branch, Suwanee, Cumming, or Lawrenceville would be much closer.

 

Haven’t been on the forums for a bit (as if anyone missed me) because me and my wife had our first son on Sunday. Brixton Reese. Never knew anything could be this special. I’ll have a couple weeks off of work so I might be working on some projects if the weather holds up. Mainly @daveeasa ‘s wiring harnesses for my corner lights as well as headlights. We will see. Might just take it easy and hang out with the little guy.

 

Congrats dude!
Take it easy and be there for momma bear

 

Congrats! Put that monkey on the wrenches.

 

Got myself a bed for the 95 taco

 

I've got 4 kids and love the sequoia for road trips! The DC fits us all fine, but there's more room to spread out in the sequoia. There's a big jump in price between the 1st gen and 2nd gen sequoia. But if you've got the Sienna for road trips, the DC would work well.

 

What’s the tow rig here? The guy bringing it to you? Looks like your trailer but I don’t recognize the truck.

 

Uncles tundra. Mines too damn loud currently to make this trip

 

Uncles truck maybe?

 

I was worried I missed another truck purchase.

 

We are towing today as well. Maybe 20,000 pounds.

 

Too loud? Sorry, i dont make the rules, but i have complete confidence than you’ll recover swiftly from this baffling confusion. You can have your man card back when we see parts on trucks.

technically still waiting on header vids.

 

Unfortunately with the exhaust exiting under the driver and passenger seats leads to literal hearing loss

 

Whats a little tenitus bought with glory? Send it. No OD.

 

Congrats, it's all fun and games until they start talking back to you!!

Oh - and what was said earlier about taking care of momma - don't make her do all the feedings. She needs sleep too. You don't want a pissed off momma in your life. And keep eyes peeled for post-partum symptoms. It's real. Trust me.

 

Since we are on the subject of alignments, I've been fighting the handling on my Sequoia ever since I got it. I've replaced All UBJ, LBJ, UCA and LCA (ball joints are OEM, control arms are moog), front and rear shocks (eibach front on 2nd clip, Dobinson stock height shocks and coils), rear springs , drivers side inner and outer tie rod, passenger rear control arm and steering rack bushings.

I think my cross caster is a little too high and the toe in the rear is off (not adjustable, but maybe means I need to replace the other control arm).

The symptoms are it tends to wander a bit at freeway speed and has some bump steer. The big thing is on longer road trips it kicks down a gear it will pull to one side or the other.

Any ideas of what to check next?

 

thanks for the advice. Things have gone so well so far. Labor and delivery nurses have been incredible, So skilled.

 

The cross caster won’t help how it drives.

 

Thus. Exactly. Get with the program.

 

Thanks! Do you mean the cross caster makes it worse or even if I fix the cross caster I'll still have my issues?

 

A little late to be getting this for free in the mail but whatever….

 

Cross caster can cause all kinds of odd driving habbits


The rear toe is nothing to worry about. They’re never perfectly 0.

 

I’m much farther than that but I have a brother up there. Let me know how we can help. I’ll do what I can!

 

I also brought the 2021 Tacoma frame home from work

 

Well if i could fit 9000 Aero seats into a '67 Sonett, then I'm sure you can make those Avalon seats fit. might need a riser though?
