    Yeah if tweezers will disassemble a fuse box and unbolt the fuse that would be great! The fuse is bolted in on both sides and I don't know how to access the bolt but I can see them! Reminds me of working on F-16's you can see what you need to do but can't get I there to do it!

    Ok, so...I've been holding out long enough and I would rather use the money saved for tires. I want to install my lift sometime soon, billy 51's, eibachs and 2" AAL. I don't have much experience nor the tools but eager to learn. I am mechanically inclined (F-16 mechanic) however, not much experience with trucks other than a leveling kit I put on my last truck. Thanks to the Tacoma though I've been learning how to do a few things myself. Any help would be appreciated, just let me know what kinda beer to bring! As far as my schedule goes, I work Mon-Thurs usually but have Reserve weekends once a month (this coming up weekend Fri and Sat). Other than that I'm usually always free on Sunday's. So after this upcoming weekend I'm free on Fri, Sat, and Sun's. Thanks!

    No, its not assembled, and I was thinking about renting a spring compressor. A guy I work with has a spring compressor and tools but has never worked on tacoma's before so I thought I'd ask on here first

    as soon as you get the front assembled its easy, installing the aal would probable take longer

    Im always down to help someone install a lift. Ive got some experience:cool: and all the tools. As for spring compressor, I just take the strut assembly to Nellis AFB auto hobby shop and use their wall mounted one. Doesnt scratch up the coils like the cheap autozone rentals. I live in Aliante. Just PM me and we can work something out.

    Right on, thanks. As far as the hobby shop, it shut down a few months back. Don't know why though.

    I was told the air force closed them all down because they were not making any money. I have a spring compressor if you need it.
