I have been searching the web and cannot find a good write up or any recommendations regarding relocating the windshield wiper fluid reservoir from under the fender to under the hood on a late model XJ.
I need to move the reservoir to be able to trim my fenders a little bit higher. I already looked into using an early model XJ reservoir and it appears that the brake cylinder is larger on mine hence why Jeep relocated the reservoir where it is now. I was hoping someone has had experience in this and could recommend a reservoir to use and how/where to locate it under the hood. Or maybe someone could post a link to a good write up on the net showing this done.
Thanks for your help!

Hey Jimmy, hit Seth up, he did it to his rig...
JKwhat did was take out my airbox and used a cone filter set up, took out the reservoir tank and put it where the airbox was. i didnt strap it down or tie it down, and it stays there just fine.

Can you post a few pics up of this. I was also thinking the same with a cone filter to create more room.
