    Hello, I am trying to install a c4 bumper on my Tacoma and the person I purchased it from didn’t give me the power steering coolant relocation brackets seen in this photo. I know a lot of after market bumpers come with them so trying to see if anyone might have some laying around by any chance that can measure them for me and give me dimensions of holes etc so I can have someone just make me a pair?

    thanks.

    I made a set of brackets out of a strip of 3/4"×1/8" steel i had laying around. Iirc I had about 1-3/4" between the fins of the power steering cooler and the ac condenser on the oem crossmember mounting points, and moved the cooler back 1-1/4" or 1-1/2" so there was clearance between my bumper and the ac condenser. I'll go measure and confirm. Give me 20.

    Edit- also had to remove the hardline mounting bracket bolt on the passenger aide frame rail. If you look down at the top of the framerail by the washer flyid reservoir you'll see the bolt and bracket. There is enough slack in the rubber lines to push it straight back along the framerail and drill a new hole for the bracket.

    So, much longer than 20...

    Double check using your own crossmember to core support spacing in case there's any variation, but mine, the holes were 1-1/4" on center with a hair under 1/2" between the fins of the ps cooler and the ac condenser.
