This one gets a fiberglass hood. They are too thick for the OEM squirters to snap into so we use the aftermarket versions that have a threaded stem. The little nozzles are able to be aimed. But, they are not as efficient as the OEM version and need more volume out of the pump. We removed the OEM pump, added it to the generic reservoir and wired both to pump at the same time. Now it has enough volume.

Wow, looks so much different when you hold the camera straight!

I never would have finished installing it if half the contents would dump out.

The ARB locker pump will live deep into the inner fender.
A comment on the hardware. I am using stainless with a black oxide coating for everything, all from McMaster-Carr. And following Blaine's previous work because it looks good and reduces visual clutter, all the bolt heads are facing the exterior, where possible.

I'll guess about $175 and with minimum quantities of more than I need for this project.
Definitely a good call. The ones they include aren't long enough in many places so I had to run to ACE. Even so, I've found a few that have since worked loose.

During a recent visit to the junk yard, I happened upon an early TJ cruise control servo mount.
Here it is holding up my CC servo.
The cable routing changed to where it naturally passes under the master cylinder.

The only two ways they don't work on the soft aluminum are using a nyloc or one of the serrated flange nuts and blue Loctite. Nothing else we have tried stays tight including Keps nuts which are generally very good. The visual aspect of a nyloc means it is taller and more obtrusive. The flange nuts appear less so.

Halfway done!
A new mount for the purge valve...
...goes onto the inner fender before below the steering reservoir.
Talking to Blaine just now, I am going to replace the plastic emissions lines going to the purge valve with silicone vacuum line to improve the routing and eliminate the side loading from the hard plastic.

There's some nice glitter down there, Mike will be proud!
Looks good
I really like the color matching you did!
Yeah, the per piece cost is low, but when you end up with 25 bolts when you only need 5, you end up with quite a collection. I Had to buy a storage locker to contain all my nuts and bolts!

I got two things mounted today.
The winch contacter is back behind the headlight again.
With it and the battery in different positions, I need a longer positive lead.
Fortunately, I still have the new leads from when I changed from solenoids to a contacter a couple years ago. This one is too long. That's a tomorrow project. And will be the start of eventually replacing all the battery cables.
And I got the onboard trickle charger hung behind the PDC. No pics. That all came together as daylight faded and I wanted to get the day over with.
Highlines are not easy!

On the topic of refreshing the battery cables, I wouldn't mind clamps that have individual terminations rather than stacking ring connectors.
Any thoughts on this type of distribution block?

The screws on the sides seem useless. I like the idea of the top though. I’d like to see something similar but better.
