    Well guys, as soon as summer starts on Thursday and I'm done with school for the year I'll have my new parts on the way up here, and will be searching for some TW pals to help me install them! I may be 17 but that doesn't mean I can't have a buddy of mine who is actually of age bring beer for you guys as payment! And I can do mula too! I kinda want to start planning on a date to get this installed because I have work and other stuff and I know you guys are probably a lot more busy than I am! Any help would be greatly appreciated! I'll be installing:

    Timbren Rear bumps and u bolt flip up kit
    Dakar Rear Leaf packs
    Icon Uniball UCAs
    OME 887 coils

    Awesome! You guys all rock! I'll let you know when they come in!

    Thanks! And I'm ordering everything except for my UCAs from Green Tree Fabrication because they can get the rest from ToyTec for a pretty good shipping price. I'm ordering the Icon Uniball UCAs on my own because they're free shipping to AK which is awesome!

    I'll let you all know about when I'll plan on doing it soon! Thanks! Talk about a life saver and money saver lol

    In other news I forgot to mention that I was at Toyota a few weeks ago getting my 6 month/5000 mile Toyota Care done and they had a taco with a spacer lift, bull bar, and rigid E2 20 inch Combo for sale, but on the value listed for the 20 Inch E2 Series combo bar it said $1600...... and that's an $849 light bar MSRP and you can even get it for $680 on Amazon. Talk about a rip off. It also had cooper st Maxx tires (which is one thing they did right) and some fuel wheels, they were asking $41,000. I should've taken a picture.

    The dealers are always ridiculous like that.

    They've also asked me if I was coming in to trade my truck in both times I've had to go by there :laugh: I had like 3 or 4 salesmen awkwardly hovering around my truck while I was looking up a part number before I walked in.

    Hahaha the good ole stealership! I think it's so funny but sad how they rip people off and charge $1200 for a spacer lift, that includes the install and labor but man oh man is that a rip off and you're paying for crap! They tried to tell me that I'd void my whole warranty by putting aftermarket shocks on my truck and not having them install them....

    And what are you guys' thoughts on ordering my OME leaf packs through Amazon? It says $206.26 because it's for one individual leaf pack, i'd buy two of course. I was just considering it because it says free shipping.... I'll still consult green tree and see how much they'll want for the shipping but I might consider amazon too

    Its the same spring, so if you have prime and can get free shipping I'd go for it.

    Buying local is great and all, but its hard to argue when you save $100 on shipping and then probably more on the cost of the springs too.

    Yeah I have prime but it still says it's free and even though prime is unavailable with these, I just don't want to order them and find out that they're gonna ship up on a barge and that I won't get them until the end of summer lol

    Edit: I read a bit more on the sellers page and turns out they don't ship to AK -_-, but I did find my Icon UCAs for $70 less than toytec with free prime to AK!
