    Thanks everyone! I ended up buying a floor jack and some additional tools, but still figure I saved at least a few hundred dollars. I also greased the "propeller shaft." It was full day, but totally enjoyable. Beautiful 55 degrees in Central Oregon, put on some nice music and good drink, took my time, worked through the "WTFs" and "how do I do that?," and it all got done. I think the most difficult was the headlights because those darn rubber boots just didn't want to come off, and when they did, the metal lever bracket came out with them. That took a few minutes to figure out, but in they went and what a huge difference they make. I was actually sad when the day was over. I can definitely feel the difference from the SumoSprings and SuperBumps, and I swear she runs quieter and smoother with all that synthetic oil in her engine, differentials, and transfer case. o_O:amen:

    I don't drive off road much, so don't really have a need for different shocks or a lift, and my tires should last until next summer. What should I do next?

    A BIG THANK YOU to all those whose posts I read, reread, and read again to learn how to do this!

    Aries Brush Bumper, ACI Lights, AOB switches, Back Up Camera and Beepers. Black front emblem and rear Tacoma Black. Other badges removed. Leer cap. Dobinsons snorkel.
    " . . . . . last until next summer. What should I do next?"

    Next . . . . Fog lights, remove all the badges and paint the front emblem black.
    Replace back up lights with LEDs. Learn about plastidip. Or however it's spelled . . . . take pictures. Start a build thread. When you drive to a scenic place, take pix and post in thread "Let's See Your Taco in Scenic Places." When the disease sets in real bad, you will start parking next to other Tacos. You're terminal when you take pictures of Tacos parked together and post them to "I think it Cool When Tacoma's Parke Near Each Other."
    I tried a recovery program, but it didn't take . . . .
