    Tried search function but no cigar.

    Anyone know the intended purpose of the three studs?

    TIA

    You have an Off-Road, so the ABS / brake master cylinder (all in one unit) is located on the driver side. Those bolts are for the Sport /SR5 / Limited models, which have the regular ABS module mounted there.

    The Off-Road and the Pro models have a power assisted ABS module to enable the crawl control. :thumbsup: I personally have a MORE off road bracket with an air compressor ARB and tank mounted there:D

    This and that
    I’ve got a second battery there. Which makes it really fun to undo the clip for the air filter.

    Thanks for sharing. Excellent set up. You mentioned “MORE” bracket, would you share a link to a source? Also, did engine compartment heat degrade the Velcro adhesive used to secure Pelican case?
