Are you able to just press out the inner sleeve first. Then use the sawzall to cut through the rubber and outer sleave? Been able to to that with other Toyota control arm bushings.

Yes, of course, you can press them out. They are in there reeeeeaaaally good, though. It'll give a 20 ton press a run for it's money!
But this weekend has three days
.Where is the third cruiser?

It takes a 20 ton and it's scary as hell. I would rather use a sawzall next time.

the rear control arms with a 20 ton were scary an loud as hell. Hate to think what those big bushings behave like.
X2 on this.

Also stopped in to see this rig (minty!) and meet owner as we a were in the area.
It's Turkey Day! Washed the rig and drove out to Thanksgiving dinner. So nice to have carpet on the cargo drawers, even if its just sitting loose. After 7 hrs in the loaded cruiser this weekend I have a longer to do and wish list.

Here's some weird questions:
Why do y'all celebrate Thanksgiving in October?
Do y'all celebrate it the same as we do in USA?
ETA: found my answers!
Today is the Canadian Thanksgiving holiday, which is sort of like American Thanksgiving but not nearly as big a deal, and with none of that New England Plymouth pilgrim backstory. It’s barely celebrated in Eastern Canada and in Quebec it's just a day off; most Canadians have their big family get-togethers at Christmas, which is a two-day holiday here with Boxing Day tacked on. For Thanksgiving, there are no Black Friday sales (although the stores really try) and for most people, it's pretty low-key.
This has a lot to do with the holiday's history, which is muddy; some say the holiday dates back to Martin Frobisher giving thanks for surviving a tough voyage to the Arctic in 1578. Others ascribe it to Samuel de Champlain and his Order of Good Cheer in 1604, a clever idea that kept the gang happy through the very long winters. The reality (and the reason it is such a big deal in Ontario) is probably more prosaic; thousands of Americans who supported the Crown in the American Revolution moved north and brought their traditions with them, including turkey and pumpkin on Thanksgiving.
Nobody quite knew when to celebrate it, either. It bounced around late October and early November until 1921, when it was decided to celebrate it with Armistice Day, the solemn holiday honoring the dead of the Great War. This was not a good idea because Canada, which fought for four years, lost a disproportionately large number of soldiers in the trenches, so Nov. 11 is a somber remembrance while Thanksgiving is a happy holiday. In 1931, the two were separated. It took until 1957 for Parliament to fix Thanksgiving as the second Monday in October. All the farmers still bringing in the crops thought it ridiculously early to be having a harvest holiday, as they were still working, but Canada was already predominantly urban, and the government didn’t want to have yet another day off work too close to Nov. 11 and Christmas. One politician noted that “the farmers’ own holiday has been stolen by the towns” to give them a long weekend when the weather was better.”
