I recently purchased a 97 (love it). Since I am fortunate enough to work off road 5 days a week the first thing I needed to do was to get the spare out of the bottom. I am now tired of it taking up space in the rig. I noticed an internal mount on a previous post but I think I would rather have it on the bumper. Slee's looks to be the best but cost the most. I'm leaning toward Kaymar. Is self install any problem? I talked to TLC who said they wire the lights into the harness, what about using the stock connector for a tow hitch (seems easier).
On another note... what is up with Toyota putting the catylitic convert. there with a under frame pipe ??? I remember my FJ40's cat was under the drivers floorboard (hot feet in the desert) it would heat and pressurize my fuel tank putting fumes into the cab. Does Slee's slider bracket offer any protection to the cat ?
I thinks that's enough for a first post. Great site, I recognize some names from the Acme Outfitters old board.
Thanks, HD
