    You are welcome to my heated and A/C workshop in Spencer if you get real desperate. It would be a HELL of a drive but if you talked Ryan into coming down too we could get a lot done. I will have air soon but unfortunately I don't have welding capabilities, only 115V in my shop.

    We could arrange delivery! The compressor and welding table are going to be a bear to move.

    What about...

    Lug nuts?

    New CV shafts or at least a reboot kit? (your old boots are sure to rip, if you go with the re-boot kit you will still need new hose clamps for the slide mod)

    Newer style rack guide components?

    BPV relocation bracket?

    Lower ball joints? (smart to at least have on hand during install if yours have any amount of play in them)

    Brake fluid? (might as well flush all your lines)

    An e-locker axle? (labor wise you will be halfway there if you are installing an extended length brake line and new leaf packs and shocks) :D

    Re-gear? (Might as well re-gear too while the axle is out and you are messing with CV shafts.) :D:D

    New seals for said e-locker axle?

    The list goes on...

    But would I get OE CV's or do I need some special ones ? I wouldn't see why I would though . Also kurt was telling me about a steering rack bushing by energy suspension I think ? something like that ?

    Many claim the OEM CV shafts are stronger and I would bet money they are. The downfall is the price and lack of lifetime warranty like auto part chain stores offer. The easy route is to replace yours with new ones from a chain store. If you prefer to keep your OEM ones and you are feeling ambitious Toyota sells a reboot kit that includes grease, clamps and four boots.

    Kurt is right, get a bushing kit.
