I think my endlinks are in good shape... I mean they're a little rusty, but the car does have 121 k on it. Do the bolts have any torque specs I need to worry about? Or can I just tighten it really hard by hand?

You really just need 1 roll of teflon tape. lol.
There is no way you can ruin the swaybar unless you really wreck you car in a weird way.
Endlinks - you don't have to touch them at all to re-lube the bushin's.

I took Dawgz advice and went with Teflon Paste.
Its been installed well over a year and not even a mouse squeak from the TRD RSB.

damn, The beginning of this thread is just whiney. Half of the fun of being a car enthusiast is building the car. Do you even enjoy working on cars or just looking at them. Get your hands dirty man! The whole thing will be much more rewarding! BTW, you don't own a JACK?!?!?!?

BTW if you experience any trouble with rusty bolts...spray with WD40 and wait for 5 minutes. Works better than PB Blaster IMHO.
