Fernando's 2004 DC! "THE TANK" Got Juanton Soup!

Did you relocate your windshield washer bottle when you got your bumper?

I installed a dual battery system with two optimas in the stock battery location over the weekend. To make room I relocated my radiator overflow reservoir to the other side where the windshield washer bottle is. The windwasher bottle was all cracked and needs to get moved when I get a front bumper anyway. I'm thinking of getting a smaller bottle and putting it behind the air box and in front of the ABS control...right on top of where the igniter thing is. I might move the igniter if I need to.

 

Yes sir. I ised a small bottle i found laying around. Fits right in front of my airbox. I know someone used a bottle from an 88 toyota pickup iirc. Ill try to dig up the thread

 

There are a bunch of threads on this, and one in particular I can find at the moment. Options range from repurposing Nalgene bottles to using a long tube of PVC pipe horizontally, to scabbing in used reservoirs from other vehicles.

If you use the TW Seach Google function (at the bottom of the search window), you'll get a lot. Use this phrase (for example): windshield washer reservoir relocate

 

Yeah, I did all that. There's a whole bunch of results. I just wanted to see what someone I know has done. I spent a few hours searching around last night. I wasn't expecting to relocate the windshield washer bottle this week when I did the dual battery set up. I'm driving to Ensenada on Friday to see the end of the Baja 1000 on Saturday so I figured I would save some time and ask being that I don't have a whole lot of time.

There's some good write ups on TTORRA and Expedition portal as well.

I haven't seen the nalgene bottle idea yet though. That's a good one. I think I'll go with that one especially since I have a nalgene bottle.

Thanks for the idea Scocar and the search use function lesson. I know it bugs me when people ask a question they can search for but I did spend a considerable amount of time searching. I also know Ferny probably did something cool to mod the bottle.

 

Yeah, I not trying to be a dick or anything, but it is really easy to overlook that google option, which provides such better results than the basic TW search. I can picture the thread I was thinking about, but I can't find it because I don' have any time! I remember some of the posts in that referring to TTORA, too.

 

Na...scotts just a dick

 

It's cool.
Sorry for hijacking your build for a couple posts!
You guys gave me a good idea!

 

Ha!!! Perfect!!

 

how was fitting the 12.50s? ALot of trimming involved? What'd you have to trim or cut off should say?

 

How much bs'ing you got?

 

Its been fun. I finally have it to where it does not rub the pinch weld. I beat the shit out of it every time I rotate my tires. lol. my kick panels inside look a little funky

 

Hmmm...I've got 4.5 with 1"spacers. Hopefully that 1/4" won't mess to much up.

 

Im no pro at that backspacing crap. Take a bfh and a grinder to the truck, make it fit...lol

 

I'm not much about that bfh life. But that means my offset makes my wheel stick out 1/4" more. I'm on 17x9s and I see your on 15x10s....

 

Hmmm. I like that meaty tire

 

Maybe the 1/4 inch is negligible with an inch less of wheel

 

Better get used to the BFH life if you want 12.5's. 3.5" BS puts you further away from the frame but you'll be into the firewall more.

 

Saw a 1st gen DC on 35s yesterday. It was on a DB lift but still. Sexy af!! I need dirty fives for now. I have steel for the tub. Just need to get down and dirty

 

I'd run your current MTRs into the ground. Tub for the 35s and run the 33s, don't trim the fender though.

 

No trimming?? I was gonna do about 1/2 to 1 inch all around
