    My truck is beat up enough I am not overly worried about it, but I'll never ignore good advice.

    I ran 7 different suspension setups on my first Tacoma... installed all of them myself. There is a reason I went to adjustable coilovers on this truck.

    I cant take all the credit for the work on my truck. I did do a lot solo, struggled though my fist lift myself solo, but had much help along the way. But always knuckle deep involved at all times. I would like to thank the following awesome people...,

    @ahspurlock for mutliple assistances, rear leaf pack and rear extended brake lines, extended studs on the front shocks, phone a friend assistance during diff kerplodey #1 at choccolocco, and phone a friend assistance during diff kerplodey #2 at AOP.

    @SOS CONCEPTS for putting up with me when I ordered my sliders way back in the day, eddy said I may have been to worst pesterer he has ever seen :rofl: great wheeling trips and awesome armor for OLAF

    @Sandman614 for wiring assistance along the way. everything worked too :D

    The whole crew above plus @HrBrad8 @PvilleJohn @Scenekyd @Acerwin @SGTCap for great memories, great times, breaking shit, and getting her home ! probably forgetting some others, my apologies in advance

    @ECGS for awesome service and getting it done when called upon !!

    I've done the stuff I know I can do and still feel confident about putting the kids in the truck afterwards, but I know I don't have the skill level to do the suspension work and stuff like that.

    I can do most of the wrenching on my truck and my project Miata I bought 4 years ago. Did so much work to that little go cart. It does help that I work at a car dealership and can bring my vehicle in on a Saturday and use the lift. And also get help from actual mechanics when I need it. The Miata I mostly work on at home, just put it on jack stands and change out the suspension. I did just recently pay a specialized Miata shop to replace the clutch. Because screw that. It would have been a giant PITA. The truck's suspension I did at work. I'm good friends with the shop foreman so if I need an oil change on the truck while I'm already at work, then I get him to do it for me. Just much easier that way.
