Moving/replacing windshield washer bottle?

Has anyone attempted to move/replace their windshield washer bottle? Since installing my Shrockworks bumper and adding Icon remote reservoirs in the front, I'm convinced that my washer bottle is 1) way too exposed and 2) way too close to the now exposed front wheel area.

I found this from Expedition One which is for FJ cruisers which might not fit the 4Runner AND makes you give up the perfect spot for an extra battery: FJ Cruiser 2010+ Windshield Washer Fluid Reservoir Kit

Has anyone found a better solution or tried this one and care to comment?

Did you not put the washer bottle skid on? I must say with how I trimmed the liner and the skid on there I am not worried at all about it.

I do have the armor on the front, however I have removed the front section of the wheel well liner and, for the moment, because of the extremely tight fit of the Icon reservoir bracket, I have removed the black plastic rear shield on the washer fluid bottle. The Icon reservoir grinds up against the washer bottle and the bottle is totally exposed from the wheel well side.
