For those of you who don’t have the tools or time for this DIY, I will be selling made to order kits with a pre-drilled bottle and bracket ready for install. If you are interested, pop me a message over Instagram @looseaxles or email Looseaxles@gmail.com and well try to make it happen!
Thanks for doing a video on this! I got all of the parts, ready to follow the instructions, and your video helps with the visual of the job!
No kidding! It’s a fairly easy job - looking forward to seeing the outcome! Best of luck!!
This was a super fun project! I appreciated your idea to weld the 90* piece instead of bending it because I don't have a break either
Awesome! So glad you enjoyed it - they are pretty fun to make and make a massive difference!
There is a few companies that make some super nice Aluminum Washer tanks that also come with a relocation kit
Totally, but they are upwards of $300 which is crazy!
1/4 is by 20 is very close to same size M8 by 1.25 if you wanted to use metric to keep the Hardware to Toyota Factory type
The shop I was at was out of the bolt size I needed in the 1/4 20 - I usually have a ton on hand but had to settle!
Came out very nice bro I might have to do this to mine
Well worth it! I have a few made up on the side as well.
@@looseaxles getting ahead of the curve huh Making some up on the side ready to go
Nice clean welds bro
Thanks man. Slowly learning my welder!
@@looseaxles yvw bro
Gonna be super helpful for the relocation on my GX! Also in Calgary, if you ever wanna wheel hit me up!
Hell yeah man! Let me know if you need a hand :)
What is that 3/16 plate steel holy crap well the bottles will brake before the bar 😂😂😂
Hahaha we make do!
Hey brother, I live in Calgary AB as well. Is it possible to meet up and pick up this kit from you?
That would be awesome but I sadly don’t have anymore in stock! They are very easy to make however. I actually run mine without the bracket now without issue.
Solid video
Thanks bro!
No low fluid sensor hole?
I thought about it for a bit but didn’t bother as it’s another hole to leak from and with the uniform tank it wouldn’t indicate too much that you wouldn’t know already by a visual check. If it was a tapered design like the OEM for sure.
