    Fellow enthusiasts---

    Ordered 510 Billys and OME880 springs for my "new" 2003 3.4L Tacoma. If anybody in PDX wants to be involved with the install let me know. This could be somebody with even less experience than me watching me cut the rust-encrusted hardware off the rig, or an evangelical old hand Tacoma helper offering to help me through it. I basically own wrenches and a full lexicon of curse words......I'm ready.

    Old man I scored it from lived in Gig Harbor and there will be rust......message me if you have fun helping with this stuff.

    This site has been a godsend, saved me tons of heartache and money. Thanks all.

    I go to portland sometimes for work, but Iive down in roseburg, if you have rust I highly suggest putting some kind of rust penertrant on all the nuts and bolts a week before hand to make the install easier.

    Grew up in Port Orchard. Lived in gig harbor a couple years. Absolutely beautiful area of PNW. Man, hadn't thought about it in a while but I really miss that area.
