    I've always greased things until I saw new grease come out...

    And the 5.9 got new wheels

    Wheels and tires are in Dallas 1 hour away from me and I called to see if I could come pick them up and they are used for the 4th. Dang. I guess I'll be waiting till Tuesday. What MPG loss am I looking at? I'm getting 17 now.

    I reckon that ain't too terrible. I know it will look 100x better and will do better off-road. Good trade off. Now I just have to play the waiting game for 3 more days.

    Anybody in the north Austin area willing to help a guy out with a toytec ULK kit install on a '15 DCSB!? I've been looking into these self serve garages in the Austin area and they seem like a good deal. I'd just need some extra hands and some Tacoma experience. This is my first coil over truck. New UCAs, front (preassembled) coilovers, rear progressive AAL and shocks. I don't have any good wrenching friends around here!

    Sweet. Well my UCAs don't come in until next week. I'm out of town the last two weekends of July. So I'm shooting for the first weekend of August or sometime shortly after that.

    How long did it take you to do the whole thing? I'm hoping it can be done start to finish in one full day with room for hiccups.
