Not sure if this has been covered before or not, but does anyone have a solution for the pathetic wipers on the SJ? lol
They are either slow or slower, normal cars have got a bit of pace on hi-speed...
I can't imagine they are much use when mud plugging

Mine weren't that slow? Not as fast as modern vehicles though.
Perhaps your motor is on its way out? Perhaps a vid of ie wiper speed would help?

Mine seem to be working pretty well... They did slow down a lot when they were broken though

Mine were always slow compared to standard cars, I would have liked an 'intermitant' like on japanese sj's but i had to make do with the 'flick'

Argh that's something that really annoys me about my samurai! I would love the intermittent wipers... why on earth would they put flick wipe on instead?

Mine has intermitant. And again, they seem slow when you want them on a bit quicker.

try striping the shafts the wiper arms on, that go through the body and give them a good clean. the passenger side on mine was seized and disconnected and the drivers side slow when i got the sj but a good clean and some grease and they aint bad now

If you have a soft top, it's quite easy to fold the windscreen down and retrieve the gubbins from inside of it!
Not so sure about a hard top though
