OK now that I have your attention, how does this sound; sitting in a comfortable chair telling someone else what to do, not getting dirty, drinking free beer?
I am wanting to do gears in my Toyota but I havent set a RnP in 20+ years and would like to have omeone knowledgeable telling/teaching me what to do. I want to do all the work so I can do repairs and maybe help others in the future. I have most everything I will need except for the bearing spreader/clamp.
Suggestions on gears - I'm thinking G2 or maybe Trail Gear gears and complete set up kit. If I am going over 10 miles away from the house the truck get trailered so if they are a little noisy thats not a big deal.

I have a 30x50 shop with an area dedicated to auto repair. After thinking about what I have tool wise I realized that I need to get another dial indicator and mag base, one of these days I am going to quit loaning tools out guess im heading to HF real soon.
Also have a fridge and microwave in the shop, ice cold beer and reheated pizza and burritos. Does it get any better

I know the Toyota drop out style is one of the easier ones to set up so if your 8.8 is good then the toy should be fine. The fartherest my truck goes at any speed is to the Kroger to get beer. I love the looks I get when I pul lin the parking lot with the doors off and the welded rear chirping around the tight turns
