    Anyone know of a member or a shop that could help out with the ECGS bushing replacement in Southeast MA/RI? dealer wont do it due to non-toyta part. I've reached out to a few shops locally with no luck. Any info would be helpful. thanks

    edit: I'm in Falmouth MA.

    Hopefully someone in your area has the tool, it's not a difficult job.

    DCSB 12 slightly lifted Tacoma
    Ripped off all four mudflaps. Scratches all down both sides 6112’s up front on 3rd notch 5100’s in back with Toytech 1” block Skids & sliders from SOS Concepts I got rid of the 1” block and put on Wheelers 1 1/2” progressive AAL. SPC UCA. Be sure your standing on the drivers side when reading the instructions! I swapped sides so many times that I can swap UCA’s in 15 minutes. I put in the 3/4” spacer to eliminate the Taco Lean, and just got my 4th alignment. Traded the OEM rims for 17” Sport rims and a bora bora 1” spacer. I got my Firestone 285/70/17 MT2’s. Pelfreybilt gas tank skid and hi-lift jack should be here Friday. Looking at bumpers, but I think they will wait for next year. So far I’m happy with my build. I’ve done it all myself, leading to a lot of cussing and frustration, but it’s all mine.
    The dealer here would, but was gonna cost somewhere around $250.00.

    not too far. I'll keep you in mind if I cant find a shop to do it. I"m afraid of breaking something doing it myself, but would have more peace of mind with an accomplice.

    I think it's the dealers choice to honor it or not.

    I had the TSB done, and that went bad too. But Boch Toyota south had no issue doing my ECGS bushing install but they won't warranty it of course. They are under new ownership since then though.

    Not sure when I'll be able to get around to it, but let's keep it on the burner. 3 heads and 6 hands have to be better than 1 and 2.

    The hardest part about this job may be removing the axle nut.
