I'm gonna have to look into that. All the 2nd gen runners ive seen with rear tire holders have always been custom. Who knows maybe I'm wrong but if that is possible I'm definitely down to hit up a junk yard to find me one.

Yeah, but stock mounting is 'bolted right into the corner/rear through the body', and I THINK under the bed. Someone I know with a 2nd gen(assyrianrocker) said "I don't see any mounting tabs"... so it was 'CUSTOM', but from TOYOTA, as an 'add on' from the factory, from what I know. They have insert nuts, welded inside and the thing is SOLID FIXED, I couldn't shear one jumping up and down on it..... (it was wrecked in the rear, NO WAY would I do that to ANYTHING in pick-your-part, LOL... THAT'S ONE OF MY PEEVES!!!!! These guys who FLOOD those places DESTROY every toyota to get to stuff, ripping out the dash to get a sensor, etc.! GRRRRRRRR! hahaha).

Oh yea I know exactly what you mean. I've found so many parts I needed for my truck just broken or destroyed to the point they aren't useable just because people tore it apart and didn't take into consideration for other people who need the parts they break.

so I've been degreasing and rinsing trying to find the exact source of these leaks... and unfortunately.. all i can see after 2 days of driving is drips on the flat spot of the transmission/bell housing. I've been looking for any reason to prove its not the Rear Main Seal.. but I'm pretty sure it is. dang.
