I don’t know what a “Buckeroo” hood is, but I replaced the stock squirters on my fiberglass hood with these, deployed in the stock location. Work great with direction adjustable nozzles.

thanks. the buckaroo hood is a fiberglass hood that wild horses sells. its kind of a cowl hood kinda high in the back. im not sure if I want the "on top" style of squirter but I may not have a choice. i was hoping for an option that would mount on the backside of the cowl but I haven't found anything yet.

do those nozzles have a very wide adjustment range? or just a little?

hmmmm....my windshield wiper squirters consist of me wrapping my arm around the A pillar with a squirt bottle filled with windex....;D

Check out the Cherokee wiper arm swap. https://classicbroncos.com/forums/showthread.php?t=130212&highlight=cherokee+wiper+swap The Cherokee arms come with squirter hoses that you may be able to connect with a widget or a gizmo.

I would guesstimate 20 deg. Not bad.

I'm running the same setup, however I don't always have the windex.

thanks guys, do yall have buckaroo hoods?

i figure surely somebody has done this. i will look into the Cherokee swap , I'm all about upgrades but I don't know how I would route those nozzle line with that set up. maybe if I could find the right adjustable set up I could just use stock locations on the hood. I'm 20k deep in paint and body work so I'm a bit nervous about drilling into my hood not being sure if I'm utilizing the right option.

thanks again guys!

I do have a buckaroo hood, bought it in 2007, but decided to ditch the windshield washer.

 

[4x4man514]

why did you ditch it? just didnt feel like going through the trouble or couldn't find a good solution?

 

[JWMcCrary]

Decided I didn’t need it. Hell I spend most of my life riding around with it empty in the vehicles that have it
