    Depending what your plans are for the fuel filler neck you could put it somewhere in that area. Top of headache rack won't hurt if you are making it into a submarine lol. Carlos' method of running up front is more length of hose but it does give the option to run all breathers to the same spot. Just go somewhere higher than the level of water you plan to swim in.

    Had a '91 prelude. Honda made some all wheel steering models around that time.
    Anyone ever drive an all wheel steering in winter?
    I always thought that little 4 banger would've spent most of the winter on curbs and in ditches with aws.
    I can't remember the degree in which it turned. The rear didn't have full movement like the front.

    Is the flatbed going to sit just above the spare, then? Are you going to build in some storage for tools and recovery gear?

    Oh there will be some mods all right
    Iron Man 4x4 sent out an advertisement saying that their sliders were 500 bucks and I was in a real tight spot until I saw that the price only applied to double cab short bed and the long bed models were 750 which made it easier to say no (still a good price though)

    Yes. The deck will be above the spare, which will come out from the top now. Storage front and rear plus some side boxes behind the rear wheels.

    I looked at those in the past when they only sold the long boi version and they were deeply discounted. They're listed as "heavy duty side steps" so I'm not really sure they're meant to be true sliders. Seeing that they now offer the DCSB/ACLB size they may have changed the design, but they're still not calling them sliders.

    Oh yeah, they wouldn't be strong enough for most of you crazy fellas in here that ride rocks for fun but for me they'd be great. Frame mounted for some strength and better clearance than ones that mount to the body (like what I have on right now)

    It kinda does. It looks like it could be fun on trails with a few mods. Too bad they don’t sell those in the US.
    I’ve also seen a few Hilux, a couple that were outfitted nicely for our crowd. I wanted a picture, but driving in Taiwan is enough to keep the mind occupied as it is.
    Gotta keep out a keen eye for the ever present kamikaze moped!

    Ohhh! Which heater did you go with?

    Edit: Never mind. I should have looked at all my alerts before asking.
