    I am curious if any of you are running the Magnuson supercharger on your 5th Gen 4Runner and also have a winch installed. Especially if you're using a slimline bumper like the one from SSO or C4 Fab.

    It looks to me like the winch would sit awfully close to or right where the supercharger's intercooler hangs. Maybe I'm wrong?

    Also, after reading the Magnuson installation guide, it looks like anyone running a PowerTray or other accessory in the empty spot behind the driver's fender fuse box under the hood would have to relocate their accessory to some other spot. The Magnuson's coolant reservoir mounts right in that location. Bummer for me as I run the Switch Pros on a PowerTray there.

    You can see the reservoir in Steps #225 and #226 of the installation guide.

    Did youend up getting a bumper/winch and a supercharger? I was wondering what you ended up doing with your intercooler pump if you did

    It has to be relocated a bit more to the driver side as it would hit with the winch. I'll try to take a picture tomorrow and post it.

    And the hose routes this way. Be OCD about this location. Check it several times and fab a bracket or so to make sure it is secured.

    It's doable, i did it over the winter. C4 lopro with winch. The intercooler is fine, the winch wires are tight but clear. I mounted the Intercooler pump to the driver side of the bumper. I was also able to use the supplied brackets to mount the reservoir with power tray. Let me know what pics you need and i will get them up in a day or two. All i needed was some more coolant hose, mostly because i added the winch and bumper later. It's tight with the C4 and the cheaper which they offer but has been done.

    Thanks to the both of you guys for the pictures! I wouldn't be getting my winch/bumper for a few months so I'll have to refer back to this post and might have more questions for you at that time. @Charlievee did you just get your extra hose at a store like Autozone? I already have my Magnuson too, so I'm sure I'll need extra hose when I start rerouting stuff.
