1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

Interesting. "The front suspension on the RAV4 uses a MacPherson strut design. Caster is not adjustable. Camber can be adjusted using additional parts. Toyota uses coded bolts with dots on the heads that indicate a fixed range of camber"

If I'm understanding that correctly, camber is only adjusted if I had "additional parts". I did not notice any dots on the heads of the bolts. It appears I have a set bolt.

 

@FirstGenVol I believe there’s also not a set hole for the bolt in the arm, just an elongated hole to allow for 3 degrees of adjustment. There’s a video or two out there that show the install and alignment for the rear camber upgrade.

 

Guess who didnt give up beer for new years.


mom & dad being cool. & totally chiefin’

 

Whipping up the traditional New Year's money meal.

Collards, black eyed peas, candied tomato sauce on the stove. A ham in the oven with my Granny's glaze. Brown sugar, ketchup and mustard.

 

young corny boy. Can give boops

 

shiizzzzz I need a backup truck......there's actually a fuck load of first gens in Houston I wanna go look at in the near future

 

Snake identification is hard. Lol
I just treat em all as dangerous and keep my distance.

 

I always assumed you adjust toe with the tie rods. But admittedly I don't know shit.

 

That sounds goooooood.
I've never had candied tomato sauce.

 

Holler at me when you do. Or if you see one near me, I'll try to check it out before you drive all the way here.
You're not allowed two 2wd tundras though. Must have one of each or two 4wd to be admitted into the johnny 2 trucks club.

 

That's correct.

 

My new monitor may be a little excessive Still need to move the receptacle and do a ton of cable management. And peel off the protective screen cover

 

nahhhh one of the easiest things to look for is venomous snakes have cat eyes and a triangular head (the venom sacks make their head that shape) While the MAJORITY of non-Venomous have round pupils I wanna say there's a few round pupils that are danger noodles. (Lol just googled it, king cobra but that's an obvious DUH stay the fuck away from it )

but here in Texas we have 4 that you 100% should know what they look like. Rattlers, moccasins, copper heads, and corals. The rest of snakes are pretty cool; those 4 are assholes.

 

well I'm just trying to buy a 2WD beater work truck lol so a tundra would be the tits.

and my current truck could be the daily/fun truck

 

snakes are friends, maybe food. No step on snek.

 

You know the rules.
Guess we'll also be doing your 4wd swap when we do @The Black Mamba's

 

You ain't gonna sell the titan or the ranger...

 

Easy peasy.

Boil and reduce some diced tomatoes. Mash while cooking into more of a paste then add about 3 tablespoons of sugar (to taste).

It's great on top of black eye peas and collards.

 

I’ll sell you the 4Runner, besides this stupid emission code it’s been gone right through.

 

Always nice to see people fabricating their own bumpers


Also quick question about replacing front wheel bearings, what hubs did you guys go with or did you just reuse the original ones?

 

Oem, maybe Dana

 

I bought mine here. Great guy and straight-shooter.

It’s like a 4th grader wrote all their descriptions

 

Yes, but he's totally legit and delivers the goods

 

I'm a little behind, but mine in my Lexus probably look very similar at 186k but it drives well and I don't seem to have any issues or clunks or anything. What issues were you having before, I don't remember all the details?

That should have a lifetime warranty if you can find a close enough match at Lowes.

 

No issues honestly. Just preventative maintenance. I will say that when they were under tension, the cracks in the bushings were worse.



I realized last night that I have control arms in the rear too. I'll be ordering those next. They will be substantially easier to install.
