    If the two connectors is your issue, one of them goes to a low fluid light, you don't really need it.

    Yep. Just cut the low fluid sensor off. I never once had it come on anyways. Also, I ended up taking a sawsall to my PVC POS after it got in the way one too many times. Now have a 1/2 gallon bottle in front of the airbox. Has been working well.

    I hope you were using the winch to move the logs and not reverse.

    Used the winch. I've seen the front diff grenade in two different jeeps pulling in reverse. Don't plan on making that mistake ( Though I'm sure I'll find other equally expensive mistakes to make)

    Drove a couple hours straight today and haven't put a picture up on here yet. Coming up on 90k and considering taking it to toyota for all the scheduled maintenance. Want the frame inspected and what not before I put some money into the suspension and new tires.

    Nebrasker - get the frame inspected and then fall down the rabbit hole of modifications!
    Have your Visa, tools and friends ready for installs!

    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    I feel sorta bad, my truck was so dang caked with mud the car wash guy checked in on me and wanted to help.

    Some places had mud around 4 in thick caked on, I got it mostly clean but it isn't spring yet so it doesn't get its yearly wash yet.

    A few.
    It may be a bit late for a reply, but I used a 2" sanitary tee for my 90*. I put an end cap in the bottom of the sanitary tee for the low fluid sensor, and used a 1-3/8" hole saw to drill for the fitting/seal. Off the curved 90* of the sanitary tee I used a 2" tee with a 1/2" female opening trimmed short for the pump fitting/seal. Then added the rest of the 2" pvc beyond that for the rest of the reservoir. Above the sanitary tee I added two 45* elbows to move the vertical tube over the frame and away from the fan shroud.

    Fluid level sensor:
