    Help! - Labor Rate for R&R Front Struts! and Rear 2"AAL?

    "06" Tacoma TRD Off Road.
    I ordered a lift kit with complete assembled front struts. and 2"AAL. I am unable to do the labor myself at this time! So I was wondering if anybody could help me with a fair labor cost? Ty

    (I have the stk TRD billes & 2 leaf pack w/load spring - now.)

    Traded the 2015 TRD Pro 6spd Supercharged on a PowerWagon and could not be happier. My 2011 Tacoma with the TX Baja package (Added by me) is still treating me great. My 1985 Toyota never skips a beat.
    I would do it for $50 bucks and some beer :)

    maybe.. even just beer if you go wheeling with me after :)

    how much is gas to kansas? 16hr drive?
