I was dismantling some more bits off the 1997 subaru forester I got off a friend.
dropped the gearbox and engine out of it today.
Noticed some useful bits for my landcruiser too.
I have been planning to fit a 2nd battery in my 'cruiser as it only has one, as a backup and to power an inverter. So the battery tray, and battery tie-down clamps in the forester will do the trick nicely for that, and the battery terminal clamps. So I fitted the forester battery into my 'cruiser using these parts, its only a 60AH battery, so will plan to get a bigger one.
An on-off-on, switch for electric windows, will be ideal for a in-car winch control to activate the solenoid, as well as a remote system.
but what caught my eye was the headlight washers on the forester. The higher-spec Colorado's have these, so i plan to fit the forester sprayers onto my landcruiser. maybe the wiring is already in place.
I might need to add a second water reservoir, if there is space. as not sure about adding a second water pump to reservoir in my colorado.
out of interest, where is the headlight washer switch located on a '90 ? so i can check behind the switch-blank to see if wiring in place?
