    few guys have had to relocate the fuse box. It’s a bit of a pain but I have change the main battery/alternator wire that routes to the fuse box. May give you some more room.

    thank you.
    oddly enough while all this and more is going on the looming fact of me not having a front driveshaft is begining to sink in. the angle is too steep for a normal driveshaft to fit. regular or double cardan. now my new "leave to the end" is the front driveshaft.
    it can be fixed with a cut and turn of the c's but that is more than what i want to get into.

    if anyone knows the stock location of where the booster get's its vacuum from please let me know. thanks

    See picture of vacuum hose on TRD Sport, courtesy of Chris4x4. On yours, the port on the intake manifold has a rubber cap.

    I might as well start putting my paperwork here. I know it won't get lost.
