YouTuber Mods Jeep Wrangler into Super Soaker Sniper

Crawl TV uses simple tubing to transform a Jeep’s rear window sprayer into a long-range prank toy.

The video above comes to us from the Crawl TV YouTube channel and it features what might be the most unique modification we have seen for the Jeep JK Wrangler. Using the sprayer system for his JK with the fluid being rerouted to the grille instead of the rear of the vehicle, he integrated a squirt gun that offers a good 20-foot range into the front of his customized crawler.

Introduction

When the video begins, the Crawl TV host Jarrett Crawford is explaining the project being performed to Dozer, his Jeep, while Grace Crawford (the other host of the channel) handles the camera work. Crawford explains that his dad sent him a couple big squirt guns as a joke, but the host has an idea to use one of the toys for a new modification.

Since Dozer the Jeep has a soft top, the factory rear window washing system is unused, but it is still in place. Crawford’s idea was to use the components of the rear squirter system to direct the washer fluid out the front rather than up across the back window, turning the Jeep into a gigantic squirt gun.

Installation

Crawford begins by crudely breaking the squirt gun open to remove the tip, which is designed to focus the pressure of the liquid and increase the forces. Next, he gets a long piece of window washer tubing, cutting the line that heads to the rear of the vehicle and connecting it to the new tubing that is run along the top of the fender and through the left-most slot in the grille.

Once the line has reached the grille of the Wrangler, Crawford cuts it to the right length, inserts the nozzle from the squirt gun and zip-ties the hose to a wire running behind the grille to keep it in place.

Finally, he finds that for the rear squirter system to work, the harness has to be plugged in to the top. Since he doesn’t have a top, he uses a piece of wire to jump across the plug and complete the circuit, at which point the rear squirter system works.

Well, it works as a squirt gun, but if you were wondering how far the squirter will propel fluid out the front, the answer is “pretty far”. While Jarrett’s test shot at Grace is a miss, the Jeep squirt gun sprays the fluid across the road, looking like 20 feet or so. In any case, it is more than far enough to squirt someone in traffic in front of you, a friend on the trail or “old people crossing the street”.

That last idea might get you in some trouble, but if you want to be able to blast your buddies on the trail with window washer fluid, the video above shows the simple process of adding a squirt gun with a factory switch to your Jeep JK Wrangler.

"Before I was old enough to walk, my dad was taking me to various types of racing events, from local drag racing to the Daytona 500," says Patrick Rall, a lifetime automotive expert, diehard Dodge fan, and respected auto journalist for over 10 years. "He owned a repair shop and had a variety of performance cars when I was young, but by the time I was 16, he was ready to build me my first drag car – a 1983 Dodge Mirada that ran low 12s. I spent 10 years traveling around the country, racing with my dad by my side. While we live in different areas of the country, my dad still drag races at 80 years old in the car that he built when I was 16 while I race other vehicles, including my 2017 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat and my 1972 Dodge Demon 340.

"Although I went to college for accounting, my time in my dad’s shop growing up allowed me the knowledge to spend time working as a mechanic before getting my accounting degree, at which point I worked in the office of a dealership group. While I was working in the accounting world, I continued racing and taking pictures of cars at the track. Over time, I began showing off those pictures online and that led to my writing.

"Ten years ago, I left the accounting world to become a full-time automotive writer and I am living proof that if you love what you do, you will never “work” a day in your life," adds Rall, who has clocked in time as an auto mechanic, longtime drag racer and now automotive journalist who contributes to nearly a dozen popular auto websites dedicated to fellow enthusiasts.

"I love covering the automotive industry and everything involved with the job. I was fortunate to turn my love of the automotive world into a hobby that led to an exciting career, with my past of working as a mechanic and as an accountant in the automotive world provides me with a unique perspective of the industry.

"My experience drag racing for more than 20 years coupled with a newfound interest in road racing over the past decade allows me to push performance cars to their limit, while my role as a horse stable manager gives me vast experience towing and hauling with all of the newest trucks on the market today.

"Being based on Detroit," says Rall, "I never miss the North American International Auto Show, the Woodward Dream Cruise and Roadkill Nights, along with spending plenty of time raising hell on Detroit's Woodward Avenue with the best muscle car crowd in the world.
