    I have some of those little basturds too.
    I invented some new cuss words that day.
    Wife told me not to talk like that.
    I told her to shut up and get the hell out of my shop.

    About how long did it take for you to grind/drill those rivets out?
    Contemplating whether I should just take it to the shop when I get mines in lol.

    They all came out with the drill, used a few stepping up, with the largest bit it grabbed and they wisted out.

    They take about 1/2 hour each, using small bits at first, larger ones with variable speed drill so you dont break your wrist.

    1/2 hr for one rivet??? Dam. Sounds like a pain in the behind.

    Yeah, you have to cut off the head flush then drill it out. A shop will charge you $500 at least for labor. It's not that hard, just physical work.

    Yup!

    1/2 hour each sounds like you're doing it the hard way. No plasma cutter needed

    Actually the off-road shop I normally take my truck in if I need something fab quoted me $100 to replace my leaf pack (I have the parts) and do the hangers.
    They normally work on jeeps and they only have one rivet each. if I let them do the hangers on mine, it’ll be first Tacoma that they replaced hangers... I told them it’s four rivet each, but they said it won’t take that long, lol.
    Maybe they have some secret machine that pulls it out

    Sweet, get it in writing and have them do it. I'm sure they don't know the amount of labor involved.

    Shit bolted onto other shit, and junk.
    the only secret here is the final invoice reflecting $400 for labor...

    $77 D29XL Leaf Spring
    D29XL.
