Default 97+ washer fluid bottle re loacation

Hey guys,

So I need to trim my fenders more I was wondering if any of you have re located it for this purpose and where you mounted it or if you used a different bottle from some other vehicle. I'm sure I could figure somethig out if I looked at it long enough but I'd rather just see what all of you have to say!

Thanks,

Chick

I used a washer bottle from a 94 xj. mounted it right in front of the brake booster after taking out the stock one. If you have abs you'll have to find a different one.

Trust me, its gona hit the inner fender before it hits the bottle. I have 15x8 wheels w/ 4" backspacing, 33x12.50 tires and axle is pushed foreward 1.5". Im bumpstopped correctly, but if i weren't bumpstopped, the tire would grab the inner fender first.

In front of the booster may be an issue for
Me because I have a cone style filter there and my air box is gone... In it's place will be a battery and a snorkel.. I'll have to think about it some more! can you tell me approximately what the dimensions of the bottle is? I may just end up grabbing random bottle and finding a place for it.. Are or have any of you ran something similar? You know the bottle may be good to prop up the air filter lol !!!!

I can understand you not liking the looks of it. Me, i dont care so much. My rig is made to function well, not look good. Haha

But what crease are you talking about? Do you mean the pinch seam at the back of the wheel well?
