I’d be mostly concerned about cooling system and tires on a long trip like that. Make sure you have everything you need ti fix/repair/check those things.

Got it. Sounds like I need to see how short I can cut a vent tube.

16? SWB is 18 IIRC…. I thought LWB was 25 or 26 gallons.

Yeah, I’ve thought about this a bit more. I think Jeep planned to offer larger tanks for SWB but then decided against the option for some reason. If you look at the drivers side frame you can see a third square hole where tank strap would go for a larger tank. The main issue besides clearance is the location of the fuel filler neck. I may get a new LWB tank and re-weld the neck location and give it a go…. You’d also need to make a small bracket to catch the j-bolt for the third tank strap.

Great tool and Nick is very helpful on FB chat. Highly recommend. He’s here too… @NickInTimeFilms

Nice! Thank you. DM me if you need anything else. I can also do custom decals.

Running or just the key in the "ON" position? You likely need to start digging around on your fuse block. Could be something wrong there.

I also dealt with a lot of uncertainty around picking out a sub/amp and ended up just throwing 6.5” round speakers in my back panels. Plenty loud and powered with my 50 watt/channel head unit with no issues. Ended up making brackets for them and selling them on my site (link in sig).

Could be a grounding issue. I’d check those first (use Cruiser54’s site). I also had to replace a few bulb sockets when I got my truck—didn’t even know those could go bad. I also replaced both flasher modules which fixed everything.

I’ve got my original tailgate ready to go up when I buy my own place. As a renter, my garage walls are bare… 😭

I’m stock and now shipping! These brackets will allow you to fit 6.5" speakers in the rear speaker location. CAD designed and CNC laser cut. Provides ~1.5" of space behind the bracket and ~1.75" in front. Depending on your speaker, you may want to open up the b-pillar behind or use a spacer to move it forward. More details/pics on my website. https://boxyjeep.com/products/jeep-comanche-6-5-rear-speaker-brackets Below is a cut open b-pillar cover to show available space, however these will fit behind your stock covers.

They don’t. Can’t find the post anymore 😑 If I hadn’t just replaced my SWB tank I’d give this a try…

Not my truck, someone posted in on FB. I believe he may have used a longer filler hose to connect it.

Folks on here always said this wasn’t possible. Dude on FB posted up these pics…. Anyone tried it?

Still got a few left…

Folks can certainly keep and reuse their existing metal clips. That being said, the original clips are two parts--one plastic, one rubber...

Now offering shipping to Canada and Mexico.

Sorry, part of the video looks like it got missed. I’ll work on setting up Canadian shipping and let you know.

I do, however, the plastic replacements are quite a bit better.

Thanks—it’s taken me a long time to source all the small parts, test fit, revise the CAD designs, and get the prototypes made. Happy to finally be able to offer these to the community.
