    Man this is sweet. My diver side one is partially clogged. It’d be sweet if there was some angled shim that could wedge in there to point them up a smidge higher though.

    Great post and thanks for the link!

    No worries guys, enjoy! Yea I wish they would go up a little higher, but oh well, still better I think. Don't seem to be adjustable, but maybe they are, lemme know!

    When I changed my reservoir tank (mine had cracked at the neck, where the air intake is), I plumbed a whole new rubber hose to the sprayers. Same ID hose works.

    I'll get pics and report on spray patterns. I did find a set off a Sienna that are fan spray but have a high and low spray that hopefully covers the entire windshield.

    If these aren’t what I’m looking for I’m tempted to grab a handful of varieties and try them out one at a time to compare. If it comes to that I’ll def post pics.

    Perhaps I should fix my filler neck before though so I don’t clog them with debris that’s likely settled into the reservoir.

    Did a test of a Lexus ES (far right) vs. Sienna (far left) fan spray and Rav4 3 stream sprayer vs. stock 2 stream. I think the Lexus is also the same as 01-04 Tacomas and some Tundras.
    At least that's what I found from searching online.

    IMG_20180407_100400.jpg

    Lexus sprayer (single) on left vs Sienna(dual) on right.
    [​IMG]
    Also while moving this pattern would be lower because it would get pushed down.

    The problem with the fan style besides getting it to fit with the barb at 180* is that it shoots low because it normally doesn't sit so low in comparison to the windshield and wipers. Most newer cars have the wipers level or below the hood and the windshield isn't so steep either like our trucks. So far I prefer the Rav4 as the fit is perfect and the spray is adjustable.

    stock - left vs. 01 Rav4 - right.

    In order to get the 180* barbs to fit I had to trim the hood a little. This is a stock or 01 Rav4 model.
    IMG_20180407_100234.jpg

    and to make the 180* barb fit I cut a little bit of hood and ran the hoses inside the hood.

    I’m enjoying this thread. This is the little shit nobody thinks of that makes a good vehicle.

    Stock windshield fluid sprayer is a turd.
