The tether is a good idea!

Comes standard now, I can mail you one if you’d like.

Just got my order in! Hoping to get my v3 Dissent front bumper and Dissent skid plates on in the next month or so.

I appreciate the effort that goes into solving these problems, especially when the customer base is so specific and limited. Thanks for taking care of the Hundy crowd.

Order received, thank you so much! I think the 100 series is really coming into its prime as people keep pushing their builds into new areas. I think it really is the sweet spot in the Land Cruiser line up right now and I’m very excited to help serve the community.

Just ordered this. Was tired of seeing my stock reservoir hanging down with my Dissent bumper for the past 2 years. Just got 34's and the new rubbing made me search mud and found this thread.

Thanks for the order! Once you see the tank hanging there- you can’t unsee it. It’s amazing how clean the front end looks without it.

Just finished a 4-hour detail of the wheel wells...not sure why other than I like detailing and had nothing on the honey do list today. Super glad for the Pladwagon reservoir!

these are fantastic looking. where did you relocate the rad overflow bottle to in order to fit the new washer bottle?

No mods needed for the radiator overflow, new tanks drop into the opening in front of the air box.

Kyle was awesome in modifying my reservoir tank to fit my monster retrofits. Glad to have it back on the truck!

Gonna install mine soon, anyone need to buy a new gaskets between the motor/tank? Not sure if I should just replace them during the install.

No issues with mine, been running it for 6 months with zero leaks

There’s about 30 tanks out in the wild now and I haven’t heard anyone mentioning a leak or needing to get new gaskets. Not saying it can’t happen but I have a good feeling yours will be ok.

Thanks Art!

As we continue to add more aftermarket products under the hood we’re bound to run into fitment issues between them all. I’ve got one piece Depot headlights, which stick out way more than the OEM housings and bulbs. I’m glad we could make a quick solution for these and be ready for more guys running that set up.

@plaidwagon Do you have a different version for retrofitted headlights? I've got micro D2S with ballast hanging behind it.

@plaidwagon Do you have a different version for retrofitted headlights? I've got micro D2S with ballast hanging behind it.

For now I'm taking the tank that I offer and modifying it for clearance based on some dimensions needed to work around the headlight. The 98-02 tank and the 03-07 are different profiles but neither extend forward under the core support for a visual reference. I'm just doing a $50 ($100 if you already have a tank and I need to re-powdercoat and ship back after modding) mod fee on top of a new tank purchase to cut and weld a notch piece, so far its only been the one tank for the Lightwerks Land Cruiser housings. I'd love to have a solid grasp on the popular options that need more room, feel free to drop any pictures on here of your set up to see what is needed.

@splashflash already had a tank from me installed before the headlight upgrade, he put some masking tape on the tank to layout the area needing room and that worked out really well. I think that would be the most efficient way to do this from scratch if we determine some extra clearance is needed.

I would measure, my retros were almost 3 inches out, so if you're below 2.5" an unmodified tank will fit just fine for your set up!

Here’s a picture of my setup. What do you think?

No tank clearancing needed on mine. Its a Morimoto mini h1 setup but looks similar to yours. Might have to move the projector wiring and ballast around. Ballast is mounted in front of the radiator core support

Looks like an 03-07 tank for yours, that tank has a little more room on the front side versus the 98-02 tank that @Ma son has in his. The pumps will be under the relay on that corner of the airbox, they’re down low so you might not have to move that. Physically I think you’ll be ok but you might need to reposition some of the wiring on your lights.
