Washer bottle relocation

I bought the AFE air intake from DA__Cherokee and installed it. However I had to remove my washer fluid bottle to get it to fit. It fits fine over the brake booster. I disconnected the washer bottle and removed it. Any ideas on what I can do here? maybe get a different bottle or attach it somewhere else?
Thanks
 
The location of the washer bottles changed over the years of the XJ. If your current location isn't working with the AFE, then take a stroll to a salvage yard and start looking under the XJ hoods to see if other washer bottles and their locations would work.

If you have room behind the fender and haven't trimmed up too far, you can make a '97+ washer bottle work. It requires relocating the wiring, fluid hoses and opening a 2" hole in the inner fender well for the filler spout.

Most just get the washer bottle from earlier XJ's........ depends on what side of the engine compartment you need to move it to. I can't recall what side your '93's is on.

Here's a good write up with lots of pics of a ZJ washer bottle being installed on the driver's side of the engine compartment:

that sucks, thats the last thing you want to do to your jeep...it will ruin the resale value. Just sell me the intake then you dont have to move anything :D
 
I've had several friends in multiple vehicles have similar problems -- generally VatoZone will have a bottle that will fit somewhere under your hood for a few bucks. Browse a bit, find one that fits, pick up some extra hoses and fittings and you should be able to squeeze it in somewhere... I'm planning on doing the WJ's here shortly, as my tires are eating the stupid behind-the-front-bumper location that's stock...
