Bump for fall, looking into this for my truck, lots of good info in here!
more details please on how the bracket is made and attached to the fender. what did you guys do to mount it?
You are going to have to drill some holes in the fender to mount it. There's really no way around it.
I used two stainless bolts/nuts on the lower plate and the arm on the back extends to an existing threaded hole on the fender.
I just wanted to share $799 sounds like a good deal

Has anyone compared the Thermo Top C with the Thermo Top EVO 5 or 5+?

Here's the product data sheets for comparison purposes.
Thermo Top C (TSL-17): http://www.webasto.com/fileadmin/we...eet/usa-heavy-duty-datasheet-thermo-top-c.pdf
Thermo Top Evo: http://www.webasto.com/fileadmin/we...ystems/light-duty-thermo-top-evo-2012-eng.pdf
They look to put out about the same heat, and use the same amount of fuel, but the EVO line is physically smaller which is always nice. They seem to be priced similarly.

Yeah I see all of that. Is it just smaller and lighter, or has anyone installed the EVO line and noticed a difference? (I'm guessing not, since they aren't all that common in cruisers really, and there's probably not many who have purchased both.)
The dealers near me haven't had any I could put my hands on to look at, which is what I really need to do.

Just be careful of your jdm washer fluid tank. I actually punctured mine drilling holes. But thanks to the whole head light washer kit I got from @IanB I had an extra one
The only hole I had to drill was for the exhaust and the bracket is rock solid. But, 3/4" x 1/8" flatplate, vice, hammer, welder, saw and a tape measure is all you need. The trick for the exhaust is to use a hole saw 1/8" larger in diameter and then fill the gap with FIPG after it has been bolted down. Stops water from getting in and vibration/rattling. The Toyota FIPG has held up for 4 years so far. I'll try to post some pics tomorrow.
I didn't need a hole for my exhaust, I ran it down the fender covered in header wrap.
I did drill two holes to mount the bottom of the bracket to the fender, and then used an existing threaded hole on the side of the fender for an extra support.
I think I posted mine in this thread earlier. It's been working well for a couple years now.

Would you be able to post some shots detailing the bracket and where you ran your exhaust? How did you secure the exhaust routing?
Didn't take a lot of pics. These are the few that I have.
I mounted the fuse holder to the arm of the bracket. I have since replaced a section of the tube after the pump with clear hard fuel line.
Ijust found a brand new webasto TSL17 for 500$ Planing to use it for winter starting and hot shower/water in the summer.
Should I go for it? Is this a good model to use in a hdj81?

Care to share your source? If you don't buy it, I will
Make sure it has a harness and add in the cost of either a timer or system to start the heater remotely.
