    Hello. Technical under the hood question: What are these bolt holes for under my hood? Are they for some upgrade I didn't get at the dealer. I have a 2012 SR5 4x4 Tacoma.

    I've owned my '12 Taco for a few years now and am trying to explore some places to mount a future electrical fuse distribution block under my hood for some upgrades (i.e. Amp, inverter, etc.). I saw these bolt holes and was wondering what they're suppose to be for.

    Shit bolted onto other shit, and junk.
    Nothing factory. It is a very common place for distribution blocks, fuse blocks, breakers, oil catch cans....

    EDIT: ^^what he said, I am auto, sorry.

    I have a manual and Turdlyfe is 100% correct, in case you need a second opinion.

    Thank you all for the quick responses. So obviously, I don't have a manual which makes this the perfected spot for a fuse distribution block.

    That spot is also used for mounting the supercharger coolant reservoir.

    Huh. Wonder why some manual tacos dont have a separate reservoir. My dads 2008 6 speed V6 has none. I was told it uses the brake fluid reservoir.

    Only the v6 used the separate reservoir for the clutch. The 4-cyl pulls fluid for the clutch from the brake master reservoir.

    There's 2 different brake master cylinders for the v6. The clutch reservoir is integrated on one and seperate on the other.
