Default Washer fluid bottle with snorkel?

I bought my xj with a snorkel already installed, and the washer fluid reservior was removed. I am not worried now, but come winter I won't be able to see because of the salt here in Michigan. Anyone have any ideas on where I can mount the reservoir, or an alternative method for some fluid?

Thanks

If the air box is out just stick it there. If you have to roam the JY until you find a good small sized one and rig it up. Being in MI you'll need that soon enough.

The snorkel is hooked up to the original air box with a k&n filter, and the air box is sealed with a waterproof sealant. I will have to go to the junkyard and see what I can find.

go with a universal washer bottle and find a place to mount it.

Where is the connector for the bottle located under the hood? I have the stock bottle, but can't find the electrical connector under the hood

I'm not trying to resurrect this thread…I just found this out about 10 minutes ago. ARB now sells a late model XJ snorkel that includes a new washer bottle. I'm trying to find out if they'll do anything for those that purchased the snorkel back when you'd have to remove the washer bottle.
