    Who has one and do you have pics of how its relocated?

    Looking to either add a fuse panel bracket or an ARB air compressor in the area and trying to figure out how it will all come together.

    This is the bracket I found: https://www.powertrays.com/collecti.../products/clutch-fluid-res-relocation-bracket

    and either going to add the bracket like this: https://www.powertrays.com/collecti...ducts/1-blank-powertray?variant=4330817749015

    Or compressor like this: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...-build-bs-thread.427983/page-10#post-13119885

    Thanks.

    There is a few options. Pelfreybilt has one that has a hole cut out that doesn't require you to move the clutch reservoir. Powertrays makes a nice bracket but it's expensive as all get out (this is the tray I have on my truck). SDHQ makes a very low-pro mount for the Switch Pros unit if that's what you are doing.

    Many companies make mounts for the OR trucks to mount an ARB compressor on the passenger side rear of the engine compartment. However, one of the slickest ARB mounts I have seen comes from Expedition Essentials. They manage to stuff it (or the Viair alternative) into one of the rear bed cubbies. That way, you don't have to open your hood and look broken down :rofl:

    Anyone have any other bolt in options for relocating clutch fluid reservoir?

    Also, looks like I’m about to drop $$$ on an arb twin in the rear cubby from ExE thanks to finding this :). Looks really nice though!

    Oh, and thanks for the reference on Pelfreybilt too! I ordered both of the MT trays while I can. Going to order up the SDHQ brakcet as well and figure it out a best of breed from among those options and my incoming powertrays for switchpros mounting. Thinking maybe I can drill the SDHQ to relocate the reservoir using factory mounting bracket but pushed closer to firewall and use the powertrays for AT like everyone else. But not sure the SDHQ is sturdy enough for that?
