Bracket mounts the reservoir — reservoir is sold separately unless ordering as part of Trail-Gear's complete pump/reservoir kit. Compatible with both stock body and lifted applications.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does this bracket come with the reservoir, or is it the bracket only?
A: This listing is for the mounting bracket and hardware only — the reservoir is sold separately. Trail-Gear offers the reservoir as a standalone component or as part of their complete pump/reservoir kit. If you already have a Trail-Gear reservoir or are purchasing the reservoir separately, this bracket provides the correct bolt-on mounting hardware for 1979–1995 Toyota 4x4 applications.
Q: Will this bracket work with the Trail-Gear PowerFlow high-pressure pump system?
A: Yes. This bracket is designed to work within the Trail-Gear steering ecosystem, including their PowerFlow pump systems and Rock Assault hydraulic setups. The bracket positions the reservoir to align with the #6 JIC return line (side input) and #10 JIC pump outlet (bottom) for proper hydraulic flow routing without adapters.
Q: Does this bracket fit both 22R and 3VZ-E engine bays?
A: Trail-Gear states this bracket fits most 4-cylinder 4x4 Toyota applications from 1979–1995. Both 22RE-equipped and 3VZ-E-equipped trucks and 4Runners are covered. Because engine bay layouts can vary, verify clearance in your specific build — particularly if you've done other engine bay modifications or are running a non-stock configuration.
Q: What size bolts are included in the hardware kit?
A: Specific bolt sizes are not published by Trail-Gear, but the hardware kit includes all fasteners needed for bracket installation. Contact us if you need to confirm hardware specs before ordering.
Common Symptoms That Indicate You Need a Reservoir Upgrade
- Power steering fluid overheating or discoloring after extended trail use with repeated lock-to-lock inputs
- Whining or cavitation noise from the steering pump under full-lock steering load — often caused by fluid starvation from an undersized stock reservoir
- No clean factory mounting location for an aftermarket reservoir after engine swap or engine bay modifications
- Reservoir bracket cracked, broken, or missing after a previous repair or junkyard engine acquisition
- Installing a Trail-Gear PowerFlow pump or Rock Assault hydro assist kit that requires a compatible high-flow reservoir and mounting solution

Installation & Maintenance
Installation & Maintenance
Installation Difficulty: Beginner/Intermediate
Tools Required: Basic hand tools, socket set, wrenches, thread-locking compound recommended
Professional Installation: Not required for the bracket itself; however, the full power steering system upgrade it supports may benefit from professional assistance for hydraulic line routing and bleeding
Maintenance Tips:
- Inspect bracket mounting bolts for tightness during routine maintenance intervals — off-road vibration can loosen fasteners over time
- If leaving raw steel finish, apply a light coat of rust-inhibiting paint or wax to prevent surface corrosion in wet environments
- Check reservoir mounting position periodically after trail use to confirm bracket has not shifted or cracked under load
- When servicing the steering system, use this opportunity to inspect hydraulic lines for chafing where they pass near the bracket
