Haha no!!! I got an early paycheck and gonna use that. We should have a mod day and drill the holes!!! I only have one drill and it sucks ass lol. Battery on it sucks.

 

Ya we talked about it once the weather gets better I have 3/8" and 1/2" drill motors that are corded (110v) as well as others. I will take my time to prep and paint first.

 

Yeah that would be nice. And yeah ok gonna prep them good too. Gonna sand them, use self eching primer and use dupicolor truck bed spray. Will be good. Put about 4 to 5 cans of that and I should be ok.

 

Thanks, i might go there tomorrow after work. The prices on some of their floor jacks are just as good as harbor freight.

 

I have this one and love it.

I want. It would be nice to get an aluminum jack but i need to try to keep the cost down so i can afford tires after the lift is on.

 

i need to get a new jack as well. My one ton worked great when I had an Accord, but doesnt extend enough for the Tacoma

 

This looks like one of the better deals i can find right now. http://www.sears.com/craftsman-3-to...p-00950188000P?prdNo=3&blockNo=3&blockType=G3 its craftsman so it has a good waranty

 

Hey guys, advance auto parts has 25 percent off today and tmw plus a 50 bucks coupon for next order. I'm buying a 30,000 tow strap and a receiver with a huge d ring. Saving a ton of money. You guys should do it.

 

^nice! Thanks for letting us know. God dammit you guys make me spend to much money lol.

 

Your welcome dude. Such a good discount. If you wanted a tool box too, you could save like 80 on it and free shipping. Gonna buy some stuff even though I don't have the money haha. Can't pass up a good deal. That and sliders, I'm happy.

 

My fiance's family goes to the same place every year. It's in CT and I guess it's a huge tree farm. I'll see if I can get the name if you're interested. It's a cut your own tree kind of place. Kendra won't let me bring the chain saw

 

I have that exact setup. The jack is pretty good. The jack stands are short, they won't hold the truck up by the frame unless you put blocks under them (I took 2 sections of 2x12 screwed together for an extra 3" and it works). The creeper is kind of cheap. Mine completely broke on me.

 

Im glad you told me because i think i an going to try to pick something up tomorrow. Should i be looking to buy 4 jack stands to install my leaf springs? Two or them set low to support the axle and two for the frame?

 

I use two stands on frame and the jack on the rear diff. Then you can raise and lower if need be .

 

I forgot, did you get new leafs or just an AAL? For just an AAL, 2 stands and a jack is fine. To swap the leaf springs, 2 jack stands and 2 jacks can be helpful but you can use the stock jack as a helper if need be.

 

You might want a taller jack stand
Sears
The stand features a welded steel construction for stability and a supporting range from 11.25 inches to 16.75 inches.

Hf

Capacity: 12,000 lbs.
Height range: 15-1/8" to 24"

I have the hf stands there plenty tall for anything you need to do.

 

Nice thanks guys. Im going to be installing dakars.

 

I believe you said you have a Dakar pack going in.?
Your going to need the height. You have to droop the axle pretty far to get the packs on . And remember to undo the brake lines from the axle . 2 bolts 10mm I think .

 

Nice! Did you get longer brake lines also?
