    Here are a couple more views of the bracket. Much of it is hard to see because it is under the compressor.

    The bracket kit replaces the the factory bracket that holds the power steering reservoir.

    The Slee bracket has a slot to re-mount the reservoir.

    I have not even started on the wiring. I need to figure out how to connect it to a Bussman relay/fuse panel that I bought pre-made from a fellow TW'er.

    Edit: The wiring is not as intimidating as I thought. However, connecting through the Bussman box looks like a no-go. Power to the compressor is two separate 12VDC wires each with a 40A fuse; the relays in the Bussman are only good for 30 Amps. I want to have a separate switch to be able to turn the compressor on and off if need be so I'll be setting it up with its own dedicated 40A relay. Parts have been ordered.

    I really think the Slee bracket is the way to go. It's pricey but worth it.

    Thanks man! When I bought them I was wondering if they would look corny, but I think it turned out pretty good. The matte black color is nice and subtle.

    I like to call them ghost decals, and I love em. I had a few matte black ones on my MGM and it was real subtle.

    Nice, but why not just use a D ring on the hitch? I am new to trucks and off roading, so just asking. Not judging.

    Flushed my coolant today. Found all three drain cocks. Driverside one was hardest to find. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Valvoline-Asian-Vehicle-Antifreeze-with-Zerex-Pre-Mix-1-gal/49660461
    Good cheap mod days, installed an oil catch can and diff breather extension.
    http://www.ebay.com/itm/201828324248?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
    http://www.lowrangeoffroad.com/toyota-axle-housing-breather-kit-5-ft-hose-1-cap-1-barb-2-clamps.html

    Here is how I mounted the oil catch can. Went to lowes and got some self tapping screws. Also went to autozone and got 8' of fuel hose. Used around 6'. Also put an O-ring on dipstick. Got some heavy duty thread tape and thread sealant just in case it threw codes for a leak. Didn't use it, haven't gotten any yet.
