hi there, I have a 98 cherokee and want to relocate my washer bottle for a snorkle. I searched and found only people mentioning using something generic. I was wondering if I could use one off a tj if anyone knows? I would think close years would have the same connections and such. If someone has a tj, could you just look under the hood for me? :)
thanks!

A YJ won't work, that bottle sits in a bracket attached to the coolant over flow bottle on the back inside of the wheel well, right above the ECU and charcoal cannister. Hmmm, now thinking about it it might be possible, have to park the XJ next to the YJ, pop the XJ's hood and give it some thought.

Hmmm I was thinking about moving the washer bottle inside myself, but unfortunately remodel and the sudden need for spring replacement and new SYE has taken a priority :(

Thanks thats a start anyhow. So anyone know about the tj's? It looks like its seperate, and small rectanguler height wise. Could be a very good donor if only I saw the connections. Well actually I dont know much other than how myine look from the outside

Use an xj 89 , the one that sits next to the brake booster.

Post some pics of that TJ bottle in your rig. I will be adding a snorkel to mine 99 XJ soon. I was planning on using one out of a pre 95 XJ.
