    I think it’s built into the pump, which is in the tank. Don’t quote me on that though.

    My problem is the pan sometimes won't keep up with the drain speed. This could alleviate that, too.

    Drill a couple of holes in the top lip so more air can escape as the oil pours in.

    That was my next thought, too. Didn't want to punch a bunch of holes in the drain pan because I wanted to transport used oil to recycle, but this last time I did the diffs and engine oil, bought a 5 gallon bucket for that purpose.

    Drill all the things!!!!!

    Could probably squeeze one of these shaped cans behind the passenger seat.

    Use a fine tooth jig saw blade and take your sweet time. Have the blade move slow so you don't melt the plastic. When done, hit the edges with a 100 grit sanding sponge thing. Boom.

    Leveling kit, tires, paint, lighting, etc..
    I just got a 3-2 inch leveling kit (I don’t know how high you want your taco) and it looks great. Now I’ve also put some bigger tires one it and spacers. I’d say that if you just want a better stance with a little bit of hight go with the leveling kit and spacers. I have 1.5 inch spacers on mine right now and I wish the tired would pop out just a tad bit more so if your into that I’d go 2 inch. But a 3-2 leveling kit is all you need for people to take an extra few seconds to get in. You can find the leveling kit and spacers on Amazon. I paid no more than 200 for them and also had some left over to get a nicer bull bar on the front. But anyways I think it’s a great start.
