talk to Seth(twistedminis) he's done several different sets of drop motor mounts. i know he does em for old yotas and mazdas. i dont think he's done a taco as he does drop motor mounts whenever he gets a particular truck in the shop i believe, and i dont recall a taco as of yet. yet being the key word.

I've got friends with Tacomas, none bodied. SO I haven't had a chance to make any. If anyone nearby has a Tacoma though I would be willing to build some.

Yea mine is body dropped... so im tryin to find clearance for the power sterring pump cap..just a 1/2inch or so will do...

I've seen people section the power steering reservoirs.

Personally I would probably get a universal one (short and fat) and mount it a little lower.

Yea, I thought about that too.. ima check for other pumps off other toys, or just modify the mount to be a tad bit lower. The belt is adjustable so maybe thats the easiest way. Thx for the input dood.

cant realy lower the motor on a tacoma much and keep the stock pan. My oilpan is less the a 1/2" from the ground
