¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I might have already installed my suspension. It started with a wild hair Saturday before last. I watched a couple of videos and thought “huh. I could do that in a couple of afternoons”.
Ended up having tons of fun using ratchet straps as spring compressors, spring compressors as spring compressors, taking a grinder to the 4runner for the first time, ruining a front tie rod end, stripping a lower shock bolt, cutting tie rod end and shock bolt off, and using a grade 8 bolt from Lowe’s as a substitute. It’s still on there too.
Then had shop find a ruined inner tie rod end and bad wheel bearing while doing the alignment. Had them fix that. This entire process took me from that Saturday afternoon to Thursday afternoon. Working all evening every day after work.
Needless to say it’s all done now. And I’m probably taking a break from working on my car. BUT I’m still happy to meet up with y’all if we get an install day together and it works for my schedule. I’m happy to stand around, lend a hand, and offer snarky “helpful” comments [emoji23]. I can bring tools too if we set something up.
