james750 Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I was looking at a ZJ the other day that had a dual diaphram booster and saw that they have a washer bottle that I think would fit nicely in the hood compartment of our MJs and still allow us to have a DD booster. Anyone tried this or even looked at trying it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted December 8, 2008 Author Share Posted December 8, 2008 The old washer bottle fits fine too if moved forward about an inch. But the whole purpose of using the new bottle inside the fender is to save space in the engine compartment. The ZJ bottle would still take up space IMHO. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

earl*t Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Don, I searched the archives for this DIY remembering you had posted it. Would you be kind enough to provide some assistance on the wiring. My electrical knowledge is less than weak. I pulled the reservoir from a donor today. After removing the wiring and fluid hoses from the loomed harness, I'm lost. I've not yet pulled the wiring and I'm not sure where it terminates. Please dumb it down for me if you will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted March 30, 2013 Author Share Posted March 30, 2013 I just extended the positive and negative leads from both washer pump motors from the fender well up into the engine compartment, then spliced one motor to the original washer pump motor leads, observing polarity of course. I used weatherpack connectors for the pump wires for easier swapping in case the pump in use goes belly-up. Similarly extend the low level indicator wiring if equipped, and the two fluid lines (cap one off). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earl*t Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Thanks Don. Excellent diagram with color coding, exactly what I needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knucklehead97 Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Did this a couple months ago when I was bored. One of the best and cheapest things I've done to the Jeep. After the bottle (found a 99 with almost brand new looking pumps) and a few feet of hose it cost me a total of 15$. I used a random 1 1/4" holesaw to make the filler neck hole, worked fine. Quick tip, if you use a holesaw then hold on to the drill GOOD. Once it catches good the drill will spin around and hit you... hard. Had a bruise on my jaw for a week. But it's amazing how much cleaner and open the engine compartment looks now. Also instead of weather pack connecters I found two of the same connectors at a junkyard and just spliced the connectors and used 2 females with 1 male so I could easily swap pumps if one burnt out :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87Chief Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Is there a way to get the pictures back or were they destroyed with the photobucket hackle.Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airborne Janitor Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Recently did this mod while I had the fenders off. Having all the space and a hole saw made it easy. I ended up spicing both pumps to come one when activated, and used a T-connector to splice the rubber hosing. Works great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kentsu66 Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 This mod is most excellent! Just finished doing it on my brother @jamespwsullivan's '87 Comanche. Some notes about the install are here: Also, I found that the first photo from @HOrnbrod's original post long ago was rotated, which confused me at first. Attached is the photo in the proper orientation--looking forward while on the garage floor from inside the driver's wheel well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
