only problem I have is I have a wire harness that runs right across the the mounting surface that I don't think has enough play to move to the fender side. I think that is unique to the 2010-2013 4runners as I've seen people have that wire harness mounted on the fender side from factory. what did you use to paint the bracket?

Hey Humble Leader, For power I currently have a lead to the battery for connecting a trickle charger. I also have a set of tiny LED lights I wired up on a string and have tiny super magnets attached to. They function as under hood trouble lights and I can also attach via the magnets to provide light for camping or maintenance in the dark. They as well connect to the charger lead. What I like about the lights is they provide good illumination from multiple angles preventing shadows.
So I wired the same connection to the air compressor and thats how I make the power connection prior to operating the pump. See photo.
I used rust-oleum “hammered” paint, it provides good coverage and hides imperfections while providing an interesting appearance.
And FYI, I have no airlocker.
Thanks.
