    I recently purchased a '17 DCSB TRD Sport. This is my first Tacoma. I was doing to Google and happened to run into Tacoma World. I had to join. I've read so much great shit here. Some of you guys are ridiculous with your knowledge and being adept at modifying your trucks.

    So after trading in my Tundra on the Tacoma, obviously, I felt like I didn't spend enough money. So, like any self indulgent asshole, I broke out the credit card and spent way too much money on some new suspension and wheels/tires. I've got a set of Icon coil overs and struts with a set of Camburg UCAs and a ECGS dif bushing on the way. I've never installed suspension before, but after reading various threads, listening to Eye of the Tiger, and watching YouTube vids until my eyes started to bleed, I feel that I'm ready.

    Can I trouble you salty types for some tips on what might make my day of suspension bolting and dif bush swapping a successful one? I've got an electric impact, wrenches, screw drivers, a few different hammers of varying size/weight, beer, ECGS bushing tools, access to YouTube, beer...am I missing anything? Any pitfalls to which I should be mindful?


    Thanks everyone

    What a new member without a billion questions about a spacer lift? Already read and bought the ECGS bushing??

    You know when TW is going downhill when new members actually read and use the search function. haha



    Don't rush, can take a whole weekend.
