    Hello All, Thanks for all the info I've gotten from TW, I just picked up a 2015 taco ac and found all but 1 answer to my questions.

    What is the bracket in the inner left front fender well? It's to the left of the strut at the top. I've searched and googled so many times with no answer. Here's a pic of what I'm talking about. Really not important but its just kinda bugs me I don't know what its used for. Thanks for any answers.

    Maybe something from the inside. There is nothing else that mounts on the tire side of the fender.

    Or is there an aftermarket item that could eventually go there? Toyota makes these trucks to receive a lot of after market items.

    Seeing that angle reminds me. I use it to rest the 8mm wrench for the shock shaft on while I use the other wrench to turn the shock nut.

    good guess it could be a duel mount shock reservoir for the right and left, seeing the right side doesn't have one.

    Beer opener? well Toyota can take this beer opener back and give me a lighted 4wd switch lol I'll buy beer with twist off caps.

    Must be the part that goes into the robot jig before it gets welded to the inner fender. Still doesn't make much sense but hey what do I know.
