DIY backup cam washer nozzle

Remember the days when we actually turned our head and necks to look behind us when backing up so we wouldn't hit something or someone? I do. Sure, I clean mine so I get a clear view, but it always reminds me: Stop being so dependent on this technology.

Use your rear view mirror, your side mirrors and turn your fucking head to look behind you when backing up.

P.S. I do think this is a great mod, but one I wouldn't need or use.

 

Luckily you got those shiny reflective things on each door, and even got one in cabin too!


Edit: cool mod though

 

Cool! A backup camera bidet.

 

I was just thinking....how did I and so many others around me survive these last 40 years driving without the camera? LOL!

I'll admit, I love my cam and rear sensors, though. I still often forget to even look at the display when backing. Too many years of 'head and eyes up, out of the cockpit' to break that habit.

 

tech owns, nice mod OP

 

Awesome mod! Brave to drill in to the tailgate. Some feedback would be to route the hose from the bottom of tailgate were the electrical is and hide the tank inside your left cubby of the decked system. Also the hose could be ported out the left cubby of the truck bed as there are holes already in the cubby, but seems like you aren't too concerned about drilling holes in the truck.

 

Even though I have heated mirros I like to manually scrape the ice away from my mirrors.

 

Very creative. And I have no doubt it's useful for situations like yours.

 

Will do, that's a much better idea. Thanks! And I will updated this post once done! Cheers!

 

This would've came in handy for me this weekend. Thankfully, the "wipe that shit off with my finger" method works fine for me.

Looks to me like it would possibly fit in one of the bed storage cubbies.

 

And the "turn your head and watch your mirrors" crowd is here. Cool.

Why not both?

 

I found a complete kit

$21 ZEISS Pre-Moistened Alcohol Wipes, Glasses Cleaner, 400 Count

here. Nice to have a one stop shop that bundles all the necessary parts.

 

^^LOL.... I clicked. Yep you got me....

 

The product I use for wash my face is cheaper than that

 

Maybe try to add a pump somewhere under the bed , beside frame, use a long tube and T connector, hook up to the front tube, and add a switch. No extra res needed, all water shared from the OE res. Hope it helps. Cheers.

 

Nice innovative solution!

 

Yea I like it. I'm not that creative though

Still, very cool setup.

 

I will try to get rid of the res and use OE res for this set up. Ordering another pump and long tube to do so. If it works, I will use current res and pump for hand or dish wash. Will keep post updated. Thanks for all positive reply. Cheers!

 

Yep, just like the magic mom spit... cleans shit off everything from kids faces to refrigerator finger prints.
