    One of my buddies has a 2000 3rd gen 4 runner and he's going to give me the cbi ditch light brackets before he sells it. Does anyone know if they will fit my Tacoma?

    Hmm I dunno why I was so sure about it earlier.. Just checked their website and they look identical, might want to give CBI a call too make 100% sure.. Worst case you could probably get them to fit w/ slight grinding.

    The "fill" plug is clearly not on the opposite side.. however the housing is definitely larger.

    The cover isn't hitting the plug it's hitting the part of the housing that sticks out the most
    It's not hitting the brake line it won't go past the housing where it sticks out in the middle.

    You could do the tripod leg thing like I did and do it off the back so it shines down on the tail gate area.

    Ooooo or you could run it to the bumper!

    Yea to keep it a reverse light. Hell, cut a hole and sit it back some of you want. But be easy to just mount it on that flat part.

    OEM unless you have an actual competent person installing the poly. They reuse all the metal parts from the oem bushings. Ask me why i know....

    That's true for Energy Suspension, but I just installed some Whiteline's and you didn't have reuse those rusty sleeves. I wouldn't bother with the Energy Suspension ones.

    I just realized while installing my projectors that the engine air intake extends well up into the passenger fender. Also it looks like mud and dust from the wheel well is getting thrown up into this space since my wheel well liners are beat up.

    Has anyone tried to connect the intake to some type of vent or grill in the fender? I think that could look pretty cool and reduce the debris as well. Also it would be pretty easy to add a prefilter under the vent. I've seen some cool shark gill vents that might work. Anyway it would be a less extreme step than a snorkel or hood scoop or something.

    I've done a mod or two
    Went for a little shakedown to check suspension after a winter of doing pretty much nothing. All is well, probably need to get to putting on extended bump stops on the rear sooner or later.
