Think about how hot shocks get. The flowing air around your motor is definitely cooler than the internal temperature of the shocks. If they were touching the motor, it may be a different story.
Also, the reservoirs have nothing to due with travel numbers. You could take 2 identical shocks, one with a reservoir and one without, and they will achieve the same travel numbers. The reservoir acts only as additional oil capacity, reservoir shocks stay cooler longer.

The FJ is insane by the way
