Windshield washer bottle goes there unfortunately. Have it out for now because the pump was dead.

Should have known considering I have the same engine bay. How about here then?

Definitely an option! I'm thinking I may install a switch pro on the drivers side right in front of the clutch and brake reservoirs.

That would work. It might be a bit more circuitous route though. Other side stays near the battery and you don't have to cross behind the engine. Probably not a deal breaker though.

Fixed my windshield washer pump. My old one the nipple had broken off the pump that attaches to the bottle. Now my nozzles are clogged, got one sprayer on each nozzle clear, but probably just need new sprayers.

Had seen somewhere the Honda oddessy sprayers work? Anyone confirm/deny?

Also put on new wiper blades as mine were toast.

Pretty sure you can still buy the sprayers. I used a needle on mine though to unclog them and reposition them before I bought new ones. Actually, I think I put them in my wife's ultrasonic jewelry cleaner......please don't let her see this post.

I tell people all the time, "when I die, please don't let my wife sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them"

This won't work either, switch is too tall. May end up doing the Anderson disconnect. But do I really need an on/off switch for the winch? If I leave it powered to the main battery, will I naturally have a drain?

 

[WarDamnEagle]

All my winches (ok so that’s just two) are directly connected to the battery. There is no drain if you aren’t using the winch. I thought you wanted the off switch for some security reason.

Nope no reason. I had a parasitic drain on my LX470 that only started when I installed my winch. If I don't need it, I won't install it.

Don’t think you’ll need that switch just for the winch… I’ve never noticed any drain on my battery from the winch.
The Honda nozzle part # is 76810-TK8-A01.
I installed them on my HZJ76 but have yet to see the results. From what I’ve seen it’s a noticeable improvement and definitely worth it if you’re replacing them anyways. On my HZJ78 I’m a bit loath to do it because I’d have to remove the hood insulator for the engine, and it’s already slightly ripped in one corner. Not worth sourcing that inconvenient part just for the washer nozzles…

Thanks @janyyc My truck doesn't have anything on the underside of the hood, have been thinking I might spray second skin on it as well, but unsure how big of a benefit that may actually be.

Just ordered 2 of the nozzles, will report back with the install!

Curious to see how they work for you, I’ve been wanting to upgrade the pathetic nozzles on my Prado.

I know you bought that expensive switch already (I just bought the same one for my sailboat) but there are smaller "form factor" switches out there, if you want one. Simple knife blade jobs that are quite sleek and dead simple. That being said, I'd consider whether you need to switch that cable at all. Every fastener is a potential failure point. I mean, I've heard of run away winches that got stuck in "IN" mode, but they were either crappy rusted out winches or wireless remotes which never seemed safe to me.

Wired up my 8274 and put my synthetic rope on.

This thing spools super fast!

You really need to get a boot/insulator for that positive battery terminal... not trying to criticize, just help you prevent a tragedy.

Let there be washed windshields! Second picture is before, third is after.

 

[prwillard2]

Rolled over to 250k KM.

 

[Tennessee Jed]

It's officially broken in now.

 

[prwillard2]

Getting after the sound deadening! Spraying in Spectrum Second Skin.

Worst part is transferring from the 5 gallon bucket to the sprayer.

 

[prwillard2]

Getting the doors sprayed too.

My rears are full of Styrofoam, I assume this isn't OEM?
