    It's pretty easy once you seen it done. Jack stands, jack, and some basic hand tools, breaker bar, hammer or BJ puller.

    Most pain I see is pulling that UCA bolt out and in. Just in a awkward area.

    @jasonb I’ve got all the tools needed and would be happy to help, no cost (maybe a cold brewski). Post up when you know a date that works for you

    She ain't stock anymore.
    I'm not super mechanically inclined but I'd be more than willing to lend a hand if needed. @CalTacoma09 and @Uphillshunter helped me with my lift a month or so ago.

    Absolutely! That whole group is thumbs up! I showed up 2 mod days back just to greet/meet. Always cool to drool over other tacomas. Again, really cool bunch of peeps - can't stress that enough. If you haven't already, check in with @MJonaGS32 since it looks like they have a pretty busy day planned. At the very least, you should drive down to meet everyone.

    Okay thanks, for all the people who said they could help I think I may be able to sometime this weekend but not 100% sure so once I know I'll confirm and see if anyone can help still

    Ya, not far at all. As of now I'm just waiting to pickup the SR8's I ordered so I can get my dynapros mounted and avoid running around on 245/75-16's with a 3" lift. Hoping I'll be able to pick them up soon though.

    I should've planned the timing of this thread better too though and taken in all factors like tires, my bumper, etc but eh I still got a ton of potential helpers and advice so it's all good anyways.

    Just watched a couple videos and I definitely would want some "seasoned" tacoma owners to assist lol...I'm relatively mechanically inclined but there are certain things that I would wanna tackle with help.

    Ya me too, I'm thinking I could fly by with my knowledge and get the rear components done and maybe even front shocks but an experienced owner would definetly help.

    First time installs always are scary but I completely agree that it should be standard to know your car inside and out just in case something goes wrong on a trail and you need to fix something
