    I thought about that. Toyotas don't exist in junkyards here though so my only hope would be Craigslist.

    Mounted the jerrycan last night and the plastic bin a couple of weeks ago. The bin sits perfectly below my light bar.

    Also changed the gasket between by 2nd cat and my catback exhaust. I had a nice exhaust leak and started getting a CEL code. Also added a voltmeter to my clock housing and mounted my switch I had in the clock location to the housing. I followed Southern01Taco's guide to do the voltmeter mod

    We use full face shields up here in the oil fields. Required for any grinding. They work well..basically a welding hemet but all see through. Plus safety glasses under it.

    Worth a shot.

    Yeah I thought about that too but I'm tight on money right now so I don't want to have to sit on them for a while.

    $200 for front 7.5 and rear 8
    $200 for rear 8.4
    $200x2 for install kits
    $500??? for labor
    -$150 for 8" 5.29's

    Total: $1150

    That number makes me want to stay with 33's for a while lol. But 35's with a bobbed bed... :drool::drool:

    YESSSSS!!! I have this exact problem right now, I just discovered the exhaust leak today and have been infuriated by the damn CEL for days now. I had a sneaking suspicion that this is what it was but wasn't sure. Thanks for unknowingly solving my problem!!!
