    Couple months ago I installed a pair of CVJ shafts. The driver side popped out in less than 5 mins, the passenger side took almost an hour. Just gotta find that sweet spot.

    The filter itself? I purchased a new assembly from Toyota, you can't just replace the piece that contains the filter as it is sold with the complete assembled unit.

    I mean, did you take the bed off of the truck, or drop the tank from underneath?

    Installed my Auxbeam to replace my two old switches for my leds fore and aft.

    Mounted the box on top of the engine fuse box with double sided Velcro until I can figure out a better location.

    the Blue sea aux fuse block means I need to do some Tetris.

    Stereo runs my Subwoofer Amp.

    Believe it or not, neither. I went through the top. I’ve got a bad back, so I didn’t want to deal with dropping the tank or lifting the bed and working in a cramped space. Instead, I cut a small section of the fiberglass bed out and used that cut piece to make a mold. I'm currently using it to build a fiberglass patch panel that’s on the workbench now. Once it’s done, I’ll paint it with bed liner and install it using rivnuts to create a makeshift fuel pump access cover.

    I never carry anything in the bed, and I don’t plan on ever selling the truck, so for my situation, this was a no-brainer.
