I'm in need of a custom sump as my front sump is in the way of my crossover steering. Has anyone else had this problem and can you reccomend anyone for custom made sumps? Cheers.

I got one for the v6 in my hilux from
http://www.asroilpans.com/ in aussie when I did my high steer. They're use to doing oil pans and pickups for hiluxes so would be very surprised if it's not a common one for them.

Jono from JRC does custom 1uz sumps, and he also modifies standard ones.
That shinny bit in the middle is a stainless sump he made for his 1uz race truck
And this is the lx470 sump he modded for my 1uz
failing that I have a modified mid sump here that may clear your steering.

The only problem is Jono is too good! He always has too much work on when I call him.

Yeah, but he sometimes gets brakes in the big jobs while he's waiting for parts to come in and he can fill those gaps with small jobs.

I managed to find a company in south africa of all places and they do a really nice rear sump
http://www.lexusv8conversions.co.za/p/505601/lexus-v8-rear-engine-sumpAm waiting to hear back from them as to wether they can send it over to me as our exchange rate with south africa is pretty good at the moment.
