Exposed washer pump?!?!

[jeepgirl902]

I have a 2005 liberty sport and an ARB bumper. I took some mud to the jeep (2nd time) and it totally wrecked my washer pump. I thought it was stupid the way the motor pump is totally visible and can be broken easily. I ordered the part for it but just isnt the same. Really disappointed. Anyone know what i can get to kinda protect the area so it wont happen again??

It should be protected by the splash guards in the wheel wells. The prior owners might have removed them to fit those tires. If the splash guards are there then I don't know any options other than skids or throwing a piece of plastic the to protect it.

thanks do you know what kind of skids I'd look for? I wouldnt know where to begin..

You can get them from the dealer or you can search both here, and on the LOSTKJs.com site for the after market types.

The ARB bumber should have came with 2 skids that mount under the side wings,one is to protect the washer resivour.

I have one of those skids but it's for the '02-'04 KJ ARB.

You can also relocate your washer pump,that is what I did.I used a 1qt coolant overflow bottle and put on the inside of the right fender.
