No thank you.
I have done some stereo install that were a beast to accomplish.
Never had to pull a dash apart and do not want to, it looks like a mess.
Pretty sure I would end up with a dozen or 2 screws leftover after reistalling it.
I don't mind doing that just selective about who I do it for . I already did that to my Nissan
Knew a guy that worked a small engine/lawnmower shop with a couple other guys . He would have a motor tore down and one of the comedians
would throw a couple of extra parts into his pile of parts . So he gets his motor back together and has leftover parts 
, so funny 
but not really , LOL .That is what is key , you have already done it once this one should be easy peasy . If things go according to plan but sometimes things go awry
.
The other truck is a Tacoma and a totally different set up .smart engineers ,these so smart they rather then use simple compression fittings they did this idiotic design .That is what is key , you have already done it once this one should be easy peasy .

I dont know if I should laugh or be mad.Knew a guy that worked a small engine/lawnmower shop with a couple other guys . He would have a motor tore down and one of the comedians
Ha.
Don't want to ruin your thread, but I'm curious. Does anyone else watch Scotty Kilmer on you tube?
I never had anyone to show me much about cars. I like to learn though. Scotty's very informative. Especially if you're looking for a car now.

He is a bit off .
The best one is the two alternators.
Uhm no diesel trucks have done that for decades and I know a crash truck that has a 24 volt set up that uses two of them .
I follow a couple legit techs who call him out .
That was one ,another was the break fluid as I know flushing it does add life .
I got 280k miles out of my calipers from doing that . They simply started leaking because of the age of the seal . That's twenty years on them .wheel cylinders I got about half because I changed them when I do rear brakes .
I had a 1967 Ford F100 with a 240 straight 6. At about 86,000 miles it became necessary to rebuild the engine and I decided to do it myself. One morning, my wife and I had just poured ourselves a cup of coffee when I said that I would need her help with pulling the engine out of the truck. We went out, removed the hood, I asked her to start draining the coolant and removing the radiator and hoses, and I crawled underneath to disconnect the drive shaft, transmission cross member, motor mounts, and linkage for throttle and choke. Once that was all complete, we hooked up a come-along and lifted the motor and transmission out and set it on the floor. We walked back into the house and our coffee was still warm. It took us less than 1/2 hour to do that.
Second car was a 78 Volare Wagon, 3 on the tree.
I self taught my self how to replace the clutch plate, that did not fair well.
I was so proud I did it my self.
Took it for a spin an made it about 100 yards and had it towed to the local gas station where they told me I put the clutch plate in backwards.
I believe it was the clutch plate, the one where they supplied the plastic piece to align it on the fly wheel or something like that.
Think I was 19 at the time.
Never was a good grease monkey.

None of my friends were there or I would have never heard the end of it.
Pressure plate is clutch plate?
If I recall the plastic pioece is to aligh the throwout bearing?
Is that correct?
Maybe the fly wheel?
Really do not remember.

It was the pressure plate.
Same thing as a clutch plate??

The plastic piece is align the friction plate so that the input shaft can be inserted from the tranny .
The pressure plate is bolted to the flywheel and also spins with it .
If In doubt I use all data .
Parts diagrams and in my case with that I used it to see what to be greased .
