Hey everybody I don't know if anybody else has tried this but I helped my buddy with his 98 cherokee sport get rid of his stupid inerfender windshield washer bottle.
What we did was use a Windshield washer bottle from a V8 ZJ, all the plugs that go to both the motors and for the sensor are the same. Its a direct bolt in procedure just screw it to the fender, plug everything up and your good to go. Now no more washer bottle in the fender. Here's some pictures of the finished product.

IMO a cowl snorkel is your best/cheapest option. Check out my design (this design won't work if you have ABS.).

Mine cost $40 and I am fine with that. That and I have already had my cowl under water.

Ya that's what we were going to use, and just swap the motors and sensor over, but the ZJ bottle just fit a whole lot better in that spot and the motor and sensor plugs are all identical so they just plug right up. I think the ZJ bottle is shaped more for the driver side fender unlike the older XJ bottles are shaped to fit over on the passenger side fender.

Made the rack last night. Took about 4 hrs. What do you guys think? Don't mind the oil that I'm taking to recycle and the old rotors that were laying in the garage I'm getting rid of.
