    Take it over to Green Tree? :D Things are going pretty well man, not much activity since we're waiting on our equipment to get signed over to us. This unit we're under is a little unorganized so it's taking awhile.

    Thanks!

    And I just found out that I'm working all day saturday so I guess I can't do it then. I'm free this friday for sure, should just be an all day thing right?

    If nothing breaks on you then it shouldn't even be all day. It took me and one other about 8 or 9 hours, and that included breaking down and rebuilding my coils overs and running into several setbacks

    Sweet, I'll probably take my coils over to GTF once I get the current shocks off the truck, they said a half hour of labor to assemble them to the shock so about $45. I want to do it myself (with help) for learning and money reasons so hopefully I can find the time to do it with you guys. If not I'll probably just have GTF do it. I'm not in a huge hurry to have it installed I just hate seeing everything in my garage and imagining it on my taco lol. I don't really have the tools at all, I've got buddy who lives nearby who used to have a 14' spruce mica tacoma but he sold it for a new silverado (bad mistake), he used to have OME on it and installed it himself so maybe he can help out too.

    Always plan for setbacks. Best to start early just in case.

    I thought mine would be a one day thing but ended up taking two. Just be prepared for that and have a ride ready for work on Saturday just in case.

    I'll definitely have to take that into consideration! Hopefully I won't have too many!

    And hey Ben today you quoted me about 1k for the labor but I just wanted to make sure that's pretty accurate estimate? Last time I had you guys install my OME it only cost me $480 in labor. So I was just wondering if it would be more because this time it's not shocks. Thanks!
