I could fit it under, but the reservoir would be lower then pump.

Only the fluid level needs to be above, not the whole thing.

After speaking with PSC. I decided for the time being. I will keep my reservoir where its at...   it works great, with no problems. He explained to be that the pump is great at moving fluid, but if its constantly has to pull the fluid. It will shorten the life of pump..after staring at it for awhile, I think that the chilkat PS pump bracket can be improved on.

My front driveshaft was hitting my exhaust. So I made another exhaust pipe.

Finally got around to installing new clutch hydraulic system. New master, and slave. Painted with brake caliper paint. Made a -3 AN stainless steel line for it.

What is going on here??? 
3-4" is not going to have any significant impact on the life of your pump... But totally destroys the clean look you had going

Sorry to be negative. I really appreciate clean rigs

I'm making a new PS bracket. New one should allow pump to be mounted lower. So I can lower reservoir. Those pics are of my first attemp..right now reservoir is barely poking out.. :thumbs:

How/why did you decide to move it?  Did you dyno the truck to get the HP number?

When I built exhaust, I wasn't thinking to much about location..afterwards..I felt that my 4runner was running rich..I thought what the heck. I'm going to move it as close to exhaust manifold. As far as knowing HOW I know mileage has improved..is i have scan gauge permanently mounted where altimeter used to be.. I dont drive on hwy much..but I went from 13 mph avg to 16.8...

Best I can get on my swap is 14mpg...  Miles divided by gallons, not scan gauge.  I thought it would be a little better, not that it really matters. It'll go across the Rubicon twice in a tank or gas That's good enough
