    So I had to trim my reservoir bracket in order for my reinforcment bracket for my bumper to fit. How unstable does it look? I only did this to one side so far but I don't know how else to make the bracket fit alongside my reservoir bracket. Any ideas? The metal is pretty thick so that one piece is holding it on there fine but it does wiggle a bit. The red circles are pieces that I cut out. The only thing I could think of to make this stronger would be to use some of the metal I cut off and tack weld it to the top of the reinforcemnt bracket.

    This is what happens when my dad leaves me unsupervised and says "this is how I learned, don't call me unless the truck falls on you or you really fuck something up". Well dad, I'm learning tons and the truck would have fallen on me after it slipped off the jack while I was checking a measurement but I put a jackstand under the rear axle just in case. I'll pick up two sets of those then. Thanks, Jason. How am I going to make the drive to your place with my res's hanging lol.

    Edit: Where would you weld those to? There doesn't look to be a spot they could go that the reservoir would be able to sit comfortably.

    Well the problem is that it can't really sit anywhere on the frame it looks like. That damn reinforcement bracket blocks where it could have sat.

    Weld one resi tab to the frame, and one tab to the reinforcement bracket.

    Took off the res bracket and played around with the reinforcement bracket and res positioning. I may have to just ghetto fab up the original res bracket but I'm ordering those two tabs just in case.

    Hello everyone! I am new to Tacomaworld!

    I found out about this site through a member with a Tacomworld.com sticker on his front windshield.

    What is up y'all?
