Has anyone drained their windshield reservoir on their lc100? Need to replace it with something that does not freeze.
Cut it! Then epoxy, glass it, etc. then spray paint it/bed line it. If you’ve already modded your truck quite a bit who cares.
Lame.
Idk man, pretty sure his truck is almost stock.
I forgot to post this after I "modified" my tank to clear tires. I don't think it practical to do this with a tire bigger than a 285/75/18 but I had good luck and have clearance in all situations without a ton of lift.
Tools used was a heat gun, rag and spray bottle with water. I think with a little patience and removing the tank one could yield much better results.

Are you running sans fender liner or was that just for purposes of the photo?
Fender liner doesn't come down that far. I did have to remove the little cover that fits over the resi if that's what you're referring to?
@CorporalClegg gets extra points for posting the pic with the tire size displayed... you know, for science.
I picked up a dissent front to replace a front ARB sahara and the visible reservoir bothered me. I didn't feel like taking off the plastic would be "better", so reshaped it to fit the reservoir better. This was probably less work than pulling reservoir off and painting it. Probably 1 hour including the beer that I had to pat myself on the back.
I removed the black surround, drew a few chalk lines on how i'd fold it, made a few cuts with some large garden shears, then heat gun to bend the "tabs" together. I glued the tabs, but then drilled a small hole to ziptie them together. Reassembled. You can hardly see it now.
All in all, the front/rear dissent bumpers do a great job with SF street parkers who can't park. I've already had a few people comment that "it hurts more" when they bump into my car when parking.

Do you remember what size kydex sheet you used? I want to go this route rather than trying to mess with reshaping or replacing the reservoir with something else.
That looks pretty good! I just ended up cutting away a lot of that protective sheet. I will probably add kydex to it in the future to protect the resevoir.
