Windshield Sprayer Upgrade

Thx for updating. I'm just about ready to order two OE 1st gen sprayers and call it a day

05/2nd gen were a "wash" hahaha

 

Haha! Oh so punny
How so? What was their failure?

 

Yep, sorry. Edited my first to include my comments on the 2nd gen sprayers. See above.

 

This is what the Honda sprayer sprays like on my 4Runner.

 

Honda what? We need a part number

 

Just outta curiosity I pulled one out of my wife's 06 crv to check and see if it would fit and its way smaller.

 

First let me apologize about the Honda sprayers. That was for my 84 4Runner which has a smaller opening for the sprayer base, I only wanted to show the spray of the adjustable fan/jet style sprayers in case you came across something similar. If you want the CRV sprayers to fit a Tacoma you would need a clip like what is used to hold the door key cylinders in place. I did find and test the Jeep ones someone mentioned, I think @ThunderOne . These are not the Wrangler ones but from a Jeep Liberty/Nitro 07-12 part#4806312AA.

It's not the best fit either as it also has the barb in the wrong direction and would need hood trimming in order to fit but the spray is higher than most others I've tested but I still have my doubts it will be high enough when at speed on the highway.



I've also got two pairs of 3 way jet sprayers if anyone wants them. One pair is a zero bend barb (pending) and the other is a 90* towards the back bend.

 

Is that video of both sprayers being the honda? I'd potentially take the straight barbed triple sprayer while I work on what else to do...
Whatever is on the passenger side of that video looks perfect. I'm fine to do some dremel work on the hood if the work is done for a successful cause! haha

 

Triple sprayer is for the RAV4 I think

 

That last GIF is with both Mopar sprayers. The passenger side always spray's better because it's closer to the pump. I can't test on the highway yet cause my engine is out.

 

I’d take a set of those off your hands, if that’s what you were offering with the vertical barbed one. I’ve got two clogged nozzles right now.

 

I've read through the whole topic. I've never really had any problems with the sprayers. They are semi-adjustable like mentioned before. Also at driving speeds they always hit the same spot, not lower or higher...

You just got to learn not to hold the handle steady and "blip" the spray to get more fluid where you want it. Less wasted fluid and more coverage.

For you dustier people, I'm not sure.

 

Looks like 85381-12050 was used on 2000-2002 4runners so I imagine it would work pretty well.

 

P/N for 3 head Rav 4 sprayer?

Thanks

 

here ya go:

85381-42070

 

The link is to a 4runner forum, so will the 85381-42070 Rav4 nozzles fit a 1st gen Tacoma?

 

Oh i'm sure they will fit/snap right into place but most likely require modding the hood a little or definitely some wiggle to get it into place. Possibly longer tubing as well since they are right angle sprayers. You want sprayers with the tube feed either to the rear of the sprayer, direct down or to the left. At least that has been my experience. Model/make doesn't really matter for the most part. Hell, I dropped 2001 Hyundai Azera 3 lightsaber sprayers into the hood of the tacoma. Wanted to see how they fit and no issue. Probably would've used them but gold color - lol.

I kind of burnt out with looking and just grabbed a couple off an old corolla at the bone yard. Lightsaber beams but better than the ones I had and only cost me 5 bucks.

 

The stock hose barbs on my sprayers go to the right if you are looking at the face of the sprayer. Not sure if this is across the board or if hoods changed.

 

My bad
Yep, absolutely correct se7enine is spot on.
