    Just finished mine again.
    Out with the steel in with the PVC sch. 40
    I used 2 1/2" and one of the sensors out the side instead of the end.
    My truck is back in ballance with the federally mandated universe again.

    Mount location is next, since I used Unistrut to replace my Tacoma rails I will use a set of Unistrut clips to hold it nice and tight.
    Pics later.

    I'd probably just put it in your cargo area. Mine has held for several months but at some point I assume it could start leaking. At least make it easily removable.

    That is SO much more work than disabling it the normal way haha.

    All you have to do is pull the plug behind the environment gauges and ground one wire. I think it took me like 1 min tops.

    There is a dark blue wire. That is from a 2006 so can't remember if the later years are the same color.

    Basically unplug the white plug from the TPMS computer it shows, then I just cut that wire, used a vinyl butt crimp to put an extension on that wire, and just put a self tapping screw into some metal part. Done. It really is very quick.

    Sorry, the guide I linked shows a wire. You cut and ground it, that's all. You could scotch lock and ground it if you didn't want to cut it. I don't like those particularly but if you are too worried about cutting a wire then could go that way.
