    Damn I should've responded earlier and I woulda said don't get those. Ha. It's ok for a temp replacement if your stick ones aren't working though. But yeah they spray every fucking where. And the adjustment nozzles help but still suck. Another thing you guys can do is soak your stock ones in vinegar and should clean them out a bit. Maybe spray compressed air through them afterwards. Just to get them to work again until finding better ones. But yeah I'm on the lookout for good ones too.

    what year RAV4 nozzle is it using though because the tricky thing is, there is a hood change in shape and design that means 95-00 trucks have to use a 90 degree to the side or straight down hose fitting to clear the hood brace while the 01-04 trucks use the same 90 degree straight back hose bib fitting that celica, camry, and others use because the hood brace shape is different on them.

    because of how the hood brace is, the hose will pinch and kink and not work if I try to use a nozzle that the hose connection points to the front grill

    a replacement hose isn't going to cut the metal frame of the hood brace out of the way so it fits, that is the problem with the 90 degree nozzle pointing forward ;)

    the tip of the 90 degree nozzle pointing forward hose bib is actually going to be smashed into the seam where the hood brace and hood meet leaving no room for the hose to go

    Oh I see now. Hmm.. also I was looking on eBay, and saw some for the Tacoma that instead of two little jets, had a single little square in it. I wonder what those are? Maybe a single 'fan' spraying jet? See if I can find it again..

    Here it is, except these point forward too:/

    use a dab of silicone sealer to glue them in place, otherwise they don't have anything to hold them from turning on you over time

    yep those are the ones I was looking at and thought these might be the same thing but fit: http://www.ebay.com/itm/281242036327?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

    Hmm you should order those up. We can be the guinea pigs, then compare. I just ordered those hypersonic ones. $15 with shipping. I'd imagine the oem sprayer type is gonna be much better though. As long as they fit.. And these hypersonic ones have little locking washers, as well as the tapered rubber washer on top to adjust angle.

    Well I got those hypersonic sprayers in the mail today, installed, and they are worthless. Bummer.. Oh well. Worth a shot. Got a comparison of that one and the autozone one for ya. The autozone one isn't really that bad. It sprays pretty nicely, but does kinda spray to far. Ends up spraying out to the sides and over the roof. They are adjustable. But I found that it needs to be pointed at the highest to get a nice spread. And yes I know the passenger side autozone one is kinda adjusted too far left, but this was just a quick video to show the spray. I tried adjusting the nozzle on the driver side autozone one and I guess I screwed it up. It doesnt spray very good now.. I may just buy another set from autozone and call it good. Unless you guys found a good one yet??
