The Home Depot discount isn’t for every veteran. Home Depot Military Discount: We Cut Through the Crap to Help You Save I investigated the Home Depot military discount and what I discovered was really enlightening.
I did something that makes this process simple and clean. I purchase one of the Home Depot plastic buckets and a top. I used a measuring cup and poured in one quart of water, then marked the bucket with a sharpie and wrote 1 quart. Repeated this process 10 times. I use a couple of ramps when I work on the truck.
This lent me to believe a stuck thermostat was the source of my over heating problem. The thermostat is an easy and cheap first option anyway. A quick call to the local Toyota steelership and a 10% TLCA discount (always good to ask) and I was back in 15 minutes with $30 bucks in parts in hand.
Just go to Lowe's or Home Depot and look for marking on the bolt head with 8.8 stamped on them. That is the same marking that you will see on original bolts that secure the hitch receiver on the frame. Then there is 10.9 grade but I opted for the 8.8 since they are a little cheaper.
Basically two pins and some rubber bungees. Most people could gather this from their local lowes or Home Depot. I have my front swaybar disconnected and it really does drive differently. What I like: definite independent suspension action. I can hit a pothole on the passenger side of the truck and the drivers side doesn't join the fray like it ...

I would think it depends on how in depth you want to go. If you're doing a basic tuneup with all fluids, filters, belts, plugs, wires, and a distributor cap, it'd take day and you could just knock it out yourself and save the $1k in labor.
Now my justification for this note. My first FJ60 had this. I bought it from a nice guy out in Colorado who drove it from there to Eastern Canada and back. I bought it in CO and drove it home to Virginia. I then drove it all over the place.
I have a 1999 Series 100 with about 201k miles on her. She has been a great, great truck. My wife pulled into the driveway the other day and started losing coolant. A quick check revealed that a t-fitting on the heater hose junction had broken. The only source was the dealer, nobody carried...
It Sure Does Clean Up Nice Soon after receiving the truck, I took it to a coin operated wash place. It wasn't until now that I really gained an appreciation for the condition of the vehicle - the exterior only had a few minor scratches (mostly door dings) and the interior only had a few areas of discoloration on the (nearly white) headliner.
