    I bought this bad boy with the k&n air intake upgrade. What is the circled thing behind it. I thought this was typically an empty spot under the hood.

    Thanks @NAAC3TACO. Would that be a default location or did it get moved? I noticed that some people put batteries or compressors there. I'd like to take that space if possible.

    That's where it's located on my 2014 SR5. I may be wrong, but on TRD Off Road models it may be in a different location. Maybe someone will chime in and confirm or deny that.

    Yeah go ahead and move it to put a compressor there. Do a build thread while you are at it cause it's going to be interesting as hell. Lol welcome to TW

    TRDOR will have it integrated into the power brake booster / master cylinder assembly on the driver's side.
