Introducing the 4th Gen 4Runner washer fluid relocation reservoir. This replaces the factory washer fluid reservoir with a custom made aluminum reservoir. The reservoir sits behind the passenger side headlight and in front of the air box. Welded together from 5052 aluminum with a custom vented billet aluminum cap made from 6061 aluminum.
The reservoir mounts to the factory power steering bracket at the bottom and also includes two nutserts and bolts to mount to the body at the top.
Why do I need to relocate my reservoir?
There are a variety of reasons, but here are some of the most common.
1. High clearance bumpers are designed to maximize approach angle. This means that the factory reservoir, pumps and hoses are left completely exposed to damage from rocks and branches, defeating the purpose of having a high clearance bumper in the first place.
2. Large tires will cause the tires to hit the factory reservoir when the suspension is fully compressed and can cause damage to your washer fluid reservoir.
3. Wheels with a lot of offset or wheel spacers will increase the scrub radius and therefore cause the tire to swing out and into the factory reservoir resulting in damage.
4. Having the pumps and hoses exposed is an eyesore!

How much more difficult would this have been to do if you still had the stock front bumper? I might would do this ahead of getting a high clearance bumper. Also, how does the volume compare to the stock reservoir?
It should still be very doable. It holds about 3L whereas stock is 5L
Does it fit into a 2015 FJ Cruiser?
Will I be able to fit it with an aftermarket air box?
Looks like you have RRW wheels....what size offset is that??
They are Falcon Offroad Wheels T7’s in a 17x9 -12mm if you’re referring to the 3rd Gen 4Runner!
