Washer Bottle Relocate

[Hiluxforever]

So while ive been searching around a bit more to see if anybody has actually documented getting the Snowbound one to work on 10-13, I just came across a washer fluid bottle relocation/replacement kit from Slee.

(Looks like @Mlachica did mention the Slee one in this thread. Guess I missed that. )

They've got a 2010-2014 one and a 2015+ one. This looks way more simple to install and from their pics, you can at least clearly see exactly how it's installed and where it's bolted up.

Anybody using this one from Slee?

This is what I will probably go with. I even spaced my hilux grille to leave room for it.

Found this Scarab one for a 5th Gen 4Runner that kinda looks like it could possibly work for a GX460. -- but they don't list it as fitting the GX460. Good bit lower price than others being discussed here. Might be worth contacting them.

5G4R Washer Reservoir Relocation Kit (10-24 4Runner)

Description One of the first problems that Toyota owners run into when increasing tire size is the lack of clearance under our wheel wells. On many models, the factory washer reservoir is low hanging fruit, and it doesn't take long for it to get damaged (or ripped out entirely) on the trail. The...

So for my 2013 GX460, I ended up purchasing the one from Slee made by @plaidwagon . It seems like a nicely made unit.

Its all a bit tight getting it in there and trying to route all the wiring and hoses so they're not pinched or all piled up blocking access to the rear of the RH headlight. I had the luxury of doing this all while I have the front bumper completely off so things were very easy to re-route, comparatively speaking.

The top cover for the secondary air pump ended up touching into one the airbox clamps, so I've decided to just run without that cover. I already had the filter mod done, so prob no big deal to run without the cover (and seems most folks chuck that cover after the filter mod anyway, so...)

I'm satisfied with the overall install. Here's to hoping it lasts a good long while!
