Btw, some tools that you'll need to get from autozone (rental - free I think) is the spring compressor.

Aside from that I think you'll just need a few hand tools and will be able to manage the install.

Setup a date and maybe people can chime in Good luck... If you do have it next weekend I'll make sure to drop by.
Yo, Good Times, got the spacers in along with my blocks. Are you still free next Saturday? Give me a holla if you are!

I'm pretty sure I have sat free to help ya out I know I can do the front spacer install as it's just replacing the top plate. I've never done the rear blocks as your rear is abit different from ours but I don't mind giving it a try. I know it can't be that difficult to do anyway. If others want to come by and help out that'd be great

I just say that cuz I know I'm no mechanical guru ... I'm just a noob myself

EDIT: I'll bring some tools that I have (hand tools at best) but I'll need the coil compressor from Autozone though. If you can rent that one locally that'd be great as it'll be easier to do the install . We'll have to play around for the rears but I can't suspect it'll be hard. I'll ask from tacoma friends to see how easy it is to install rear blocks. Btw, do you have ample space to do the install? I sure don't where I live...

Well... kind of, but not really. We'd have to do it in the driveway of my parent's place. It's a bit cramped, but it might work.

All you really need is a place to park a vehicle and work on it It looks like we'll have plenty of sun on saturday so we can manage to work outside.

Level ground conditions would be ideal though so none of that slanded driveways either (safety precaution).

If you have jackstands and hydraulic jacks that'd be a plus.

Anyone else wanna help this fella out? I'm pretty sure there are more members here in San Gabriel Valley area so chime in!

I wish I could help you guys out, Humanoid...spray the top and bottom mounts of the suspension assembly with WD-40 the night before to help out your guys in busting some of the larger nuts loose.

I work weekends and I don't get home until 5 or so and sunlight will be at a premium, but I think I can get some work lights and the like to spread some light on our work area. Oh yeah, I'm going to do the L.A. Bike Tour that goes on before the L.A. Marathon on Sunday morning at 6am . Come to think of it, might have to wait until the next Saturday if this turns out to take too long to do.
