Need Help with suspension Swap, near/in San Jose

hey boys and girls.

I've been around for awhile but now I'm selling my taco. i hate to bring it back to stock but its better off stock.

If you happen to be free or want to have fun wrenching, I could use some hands to help. Specifically, I have:
OME springs/shocks
top out spacer
Light Racing UCAs
Diff drop
Deaver AAL
OME rear shocks

Swapping back to factory TRD suspension and stock rear springs.
I'll gather all my old factory parts.

I'm pretty open the week of Nov. 23rd. or even Thanksgiving weekend. I know most of you will be celebrating with family, so I'm flexible on dates/times. We can use my place or if you have a garage that's great too. Ive got a small compressor, impact tools, wrenches, floor jack and stands. We can use the floor jack to compress/uncompress the strut springs (it's a pretty cool method that eliminates the need for a compressor or taking to a shop).

Of course, I'll be compensating youse. Food, beers, laughs, or ?

thanks a bunch fellas.

Holytaco

 

I should be able to help out thanksgiving weekend on Sat. Unless you find someone to help you out sooner than that.

 

Hi Cal

That's great. I can't thank you enough. If more can join, great. If not we'll try to knock it out quickly.

Let's PM each other for details

Ah Bummah. I can't make it. Thanks for letting me know about it though. At least I've one person to help. Maybe more will john later.

 

I'm in and I think @EDDO is as well. I can make the first half of Saturday post turkey day...

 

Out of town for Thanksgiving. What about this Saturday (11/21)? Next availability will be after the Christmas tree run weekend.

 

Sorry. Just saw that 11/21 doesn't work for OP.

 

Budman, thanks to you sir for offering to help.

EDDO, thanks for making yourself available. Yes, I wish I could do this weekend. It sounds like it could work for many others as well.

Budman, are you still able to help? I was thinking of starting around 9am. You can come when you're available.

I originally lifted the truck with help of other NorCal buds but it's been awhile and I may have forgotten some of the steps/challenges. I'll look up some DIY's but if you or anyone else has tips to share, I'm open.

 

I may be able to make it as well. I'll know better next week

 

Yo, MJ.

Big mahalos for your help. It'll be great to hang with you again. I'm going to start about 9am. Anytime you can come just let me know.
Anyone know a good source for getting a new top hat and bushing? I'm sure the dealer would want 2 limbs.

 

Try Rock Auto.

 

I went to the local Napa Auto shop and got KYB top hats and isolaters for $40something both sides...

 

Hello, fellas. Calling card to confirm help for this Saturday. I'm thinking of starting about 10am, if you're free and want to wrench, please PM me. Cal is confirmed to help.

 

I should be able to make it til about noon...

 

Sweet. Thanks Bud

 

I'm having trouble finding some of my stock hardware. I need U bolts. OReillys maybe? Toyota wants $35/each. Yikes

 

I have my stockers. I think I have all the hardware but I won't be home til fri to check. Free

There is a trucking center near me that'll bend u bolts for you on the spot...

 

I have stock U bolts if you want them. Have to be today...I fly out at dawn tomorrow.
