Those bottles are just 1.5qt coolant overflow bottles found at most autoparts stores(comes with brackets).Just need to drill a hole for the pump,extend the wiring.I've had the same setup for about 3 years now,works great.

Where did you drill the hole for the pump. Sorry for the questions i'mok at taking parts off and putting them back on but doing something new like this i like to find out everything before attempting it.
I was out wheeling on Boxing day with the Jeep Club here and fell through the ice in a big water /ice hole .A piece of ice went through the little flap on the inside of the wheelwell and hit the bottle breaking off the part that the two hoses connect too.

Just position the new bottle where you want to put it and just eyeball the the location on the lower side to drill your holes for the pump and level sensor. The hose will be long enough to reach, but you will have to add about 16" of wire. Use some rtv to seal around the holes.

Just wondering, what is the reasoning behind relocating the washer bottle on a KJ?
to get it out of a stupid location in front of the wheel, or when installing a aftermaket bumper, cutting the stock bumpers etc ARB have an extra wing that covers the bottle to some degree

Went to look at it todat and found that it was the pump broken where the part sticks out and the hoses hook up to. so i just put a pump in today . Relocating the bottle will be when it warms up.
Thanks for the info guys
