The TJM bars dont have the wings like the ARB ones, so what they do is replace the factory washer bottle with a complete new setup that sits basically between the back of the passenger side headlight and the front of the battery tray, it is in the same position as the factory filler tube basically.
I'm not sure how much they are from TJM, the other options may work out far cheaper, but thought i would mention it for anyone interested. Will try to get some photos over the next couple of days.

Those with bullbars wanting to remove the 'wings' mounted under the bar to cover up the washer bottle now have a few options.
Ag9111 and ratstriton have both cut and plastic welded the stock bottle to fit up in the original space - they can cut and paste their links or posts if they want to ad to this.
I found a NL pajero washer bottle at the wreckers ($15) - it locates inside the passenger guard so it helps if someone has already removed the guard
I basically mounted it inside my ironman bar, using the ml pump, wiring and spray hose. You will need to replace the black bent hose in the pic with a longer hose.
I use the ml filler in the original postion (it pulls off the stock bottle) and attached the new hose between the pajero tank and ml filler. This gives you a fair bit more volume than the bottle itself
The pajero bottle with the original ml filler - the black hose will need replacing with a longer unit
The two pumps are similar, but the plugs are different - i fitted the ml pump to the pajero tank
I will cut up some stainless plates tomorrow to cover the bottom of the bar.

I cut the new hole for the pump (19mm hold saw is perfect) and fitted up the pump.
mounted it all up and it works just fine. I am a bit worried that the motor protrudes out just a little more then I would like and wont allow me to fit the plastic inner guard back on properly.
so tomorrow I will weld up the hole and fit the motor to the back of the bottle where it will be out of the way and protected by the new covers I am making to fill in the wing ends and protect the lights and so worth mainly by being hammered by mud and water. I just thought others might be interested who are thinking of doing the same thing.
Also drilled two new holes into the bash plate either side of the middle factory located bolt as it sheared off. Much stronger now then before.
