[Ed] got quite innovative with a hack that adds a pressurized water tap to his Jeep Wrangler. The tap on the rear traveler bumper now lets him hose off the vehicle after mudding, rinse his diving gear after a dive, as well as just generally is available in handy.
If you want running water you’ve got to have a location to put it. This is really what stimulated the concept for the project. [Ed] noticed that the bumper was hollow as well as had some drain holes on the bottom. After plugging those as well as adding a fill hole to the top he discovered that he had a reservoir for about seven gallons. To get the water out he added a pump deigned to be utilized on an RV. It’s got features that make it work completely for this application: it runs off of battery voltage, it will turn on as well as off immediately when the tap is opened based on water pressure, as well as it will shut itself off if the reservoir runs dry. He designed a bezel to provide the spigot a expert look. just out of frame in the picture above is an attachment for pressurized air. His next organized job for the Jeep is to add an air compressor.
After the break you can see a demo of the installed system, in addition to a water pump test.
