Maybe add a pry bar . . . and don't forget duct tape too.

i forgot a very important one, a PLASTIC HAMMER! great for putting the screws to some of the more sensitive parts.

Hey! I've just got a 89 (I think that's what it was) piece set of craftsman tools. I also have a torque wrench, a 4 pack of extensions, a universal joint, an adapter, a ten piece screwdriver set, a 4 pack of pliars, a hammer, a floor jack and a bunch of other little stuff. I've done timing belts and knock sensors with these tools, so you should be good to go for a while with some of these. Most of what I have I got by waiting for sales at Sears.

If you plan on doing a timing belt, you will also need a 19mm socket for the crank bolt.

Most of the other stuff is 10mm, 12mm, and some 14mm. The camshaft bolts are 17mm, but I've never messed with that. I'd like to find one of those spring scales like 86longbed has.

PB Blaster works great too!

Eventually, I would like to get some air tools.

Well, that's it! Have fun all.

Daniel

Ball Joint Press (MUST HAVE FOR UCA INSTALL!) you could rig something to work, though, but it probably won't be safe.

A good sized/strong C-Clamp for bushing installs.

line wrenches for brakes and tranny line removal/installs

Once you lift it, a bigger jack and jackstands! Replace that factory jack or you'll find yourself with a flat and no jack to lift the damned thing! Read: Hi-lift.

For some reason I've found many of the nuts on bolts that are way long, so you'll need deepwells in a lot of areas.

northeast toyotas loooove PB blaster

claudebadly · 10-03-2008, 09:21 PM

if you are doing suspension work. get a BFH a lot of pb blaster. goooood 19 mm 1/2 drive socket with a nice 25 inch breaker bar. BFH. pry bar. a floor jack to hold the axel. dont forget the high rise lifts for the body. did i mention pb blaster and a BFH? lol
for the shocks you will need a 17 mm
the rear diffs are 24mm head or if you had a fill plug like mine. a nice set of chisels, dead blow hammer, good sized vise grips, and a good amount of time.
T-case fill plug and drain plugs are also a 24 mm head.
if you have manual locking hubs for a 3rd gen taco dont forget the ball ping hammer to get the cones out of the wheel studs. and dont have a dumbass tightening the nuts onto the wheel studs or you get to have another fun half hour + taking the studs out to put new ones in cuz the nut threads were no longer there.
for timing belts 10 + 12 mm sockets and wrenchs, if i remember right you will also need a 19 for the crank to make sure your belt isnt a tooth off.
and the other asortment of BFH's, hammers, metric sockets and wrenchs, pb blaster, occasional SAWZALL, torque wrenchs come in handy as long as they are calibrated corectly.. and so on..
