Would you happen to know where Wayne lives? Thanks!

I've talked with Wayne and he'll be installing my
EBH this week.
Thanks Willie!

Wayne installed my EBH yesterday AM. He was
here for about half an hour total. He said his record
EBH installation time was a mere 7 minutes!
Thanks again for the reference Willie!
And special kudos and thanks to Wayne. He
made a 2.5 hour drive from Chicago to N central
IN just to install my EBH!
Wayne said mine was his 98th EBH installation!

It's a Toyota OEM product. I installed my own. They come standard on CAN
models I hear, so there should be no risk.

The above quote was in response to someone who asked if they could use a
tank-type heater from JC Whitney, and not the Toyota OEM heater. In the
same post I stated that the OEM heater was very easy to install.
