Getting the Wheeling Fever

anybody know of a solution for relocating the windshield wash bottle on 97 T100s, its right in the wheel well area of the passenger side, its more than likely going to be in the way. ..and its ugly (sticks out below the bumper, bug/mud catcher) look over to your right. the best solution for it is to use a coolant bottle. its square...not oddly shaped like most washer bottle. it fits nicely behind the headlight and infront of the intake. same mounting setup as the coolant bottle. u can drill a hole on the bottom of the bottle and tap the squirt thingy or plumb it to the cap. ![[Linked Image]](http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d67/fishindsnow/wash2.jpg) looks cleaner...more clearance ![[Linked Image]](http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d67/fishindsnow/wash1.jpg)

what is the factory T100 skid plate made out of??? Plastic, definitely not good for skidding. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> I know there was some custom designs floating around hear on the board.

Jake, Check this link out for the skidplate I had made for the T100. Also, at the bottom of that page is a link to a JPEG image of the fab drawing... feel free to use it for your T100. I know that several other folks here have used the fab drawing successfully as have I. The skidplate works great!

On the old BigToyTrucks mailing list, the factory T100 skid plate was officially known as a "bunny deflector." <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/evil.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

In that case I'd be running some tubes from the front frame crossmember down to the IFS crossmember and then putting a skid over that...
That's got the potential to take some REALLY hard hits. Ones that could take out that IFS crossmember pretty easily if its not braced/protected well.
