For those with ARBs, TJMs, etc.: do you have to (I know that you don't HAVE to...) relocate the washer bottle? Other than the method listed in the tech articles, is there any other methods to relocate? Anyone come up with a way to protect it and leave it where it is?

TIA,
Spencer

Spencer,

I don't know what year your disco is? I have the TJM on a 2002. The washer bottle did not have to be relocated.

I think that on previous models that was necessary along with relocating the steering damper. I did not have to do either of these.

Good Luck, Jamie

I am currently "bumperless", but I did relocate because it looks ridiculous hanging down so low, not to mention the exposure to damage.

I followed the tech article for the most part. However, instead of using the original container, I used an "iced tea" container from Wal-Mart $3.00. I drilled the holes for the motors and popped the rubber grommets in and everything is working. The downside is purely aesthetic, I had to use a strip of pre-drilled metal to secure it to the firewall (doesn't look too nice). I'm working on a more elegant bracket.

All is well so far.

P.S. I removed the headlight washers portion of the system.

Kenny
