Absolutely and I'm pretty sure a few of those caps would fit too. I happened to trip over this and thought I'd share it because like you said it's an option that others might need.

Indeed they did however I didn't have any luck finding one using 48-400 cap but I didn't have any luck. I took inspiration from that and the gm post and looked at an old oil jug sitting around and went I wonder and it works for free. So I am happy with that. I haven't sat down and actually looked for one off of a gm yet.

Been a little while and it seems I continually sit even after coming back to work. I drive and truck for a living and it broke down so I sit at home until it's repaired which left me with some slight repairs to make to the truck while I have the time. So I started off last weekend by putting a Valvoline 5 quart oil jug lid down on my coolant reservoir. It has to be snapped on but it'll screw off. It's the only solution I've found because I've not found anything universal to fit it and I can't buy it new. I came home this week and had thought I knew what was causing my 4 ways not to work. I replaced all my lights with leds including the dash turn signal bulbs. This ment that the 4 ways wouldn't work. I had replaced the turnsignal relay with a grounded led relay and therefore my turn signals worked. I switched the dash bulbs back out for the time being so my 4 ways would work. I had ordered a led relay for my 4 ways and installed it and switched the dash bulbs back over to led again. However my 4 ways still didn't work. So in the effort of trouble shooting I moved my grounded led relay to the 4 way relay spot and they worked. Now I don't know of the relay I got sent was bad or if it has to be grounded to work but either way I have another grounded led relay on the way to finish up that project. It'll be installed between now and this coming weekend. That all depends on if the semi gets repaired. Amongst the list of growing projects I have I've learned that Just Empty Every Pocket is very true. I'm always finding new things to work on. Amongst the list of items ordered I have a custom ordered dash mat which made me realize I can no longer use my current phone mount on the dash. So I went to fixing that problem. I ordered off of etsy a replacement cigarette lighter panel which has the one inch ram ball and a spot for a USB plug. That I believe is made by a forum member. I installed it while I had the dash out. It works well but now I await for the rest of the ram mount I ordered to come in. I've use a Ram mount currently in the semi and do highly recommend them. To finish off yesterday I switched out my radio mount for another one made by the same guy who makes the switch panels and cig lighter panel. That was a quick and easy task which didn't accomplish what I wanted. I was hoping a different mount would let my radio sit flush through the dash and it made no difference. However still highly recommend the purchase. It's much sturdier built than the universal mount I was using. What I realized when installing the radio back is there is a removable trim piece that would let it sit flush with the dash like I wanted. Looks ten times better and allows me to see my heater controls much better. I have a few more items ordered for current immediate projects. I've got a wiring harness kit ordered that I'll use to wire up my lic plate lights and the tail lights. I've got three pieces to my phone mount ordered for this week so I can install it. I've got the relay coming to finish up the led swap. Amongst the projects for the future I'm considering installing a front tow hitch to use for a easy recovery point. That runs on average about 150 dollars so it's on the list of considerations as a here soon projects. I want to 4wd swap it but I'm having difficulty finding people selling 4wd parts Jeeps right now. Add to that I'm preferably looking for a 2.5l Comanche or Cherokee with a 5 speed and 4wd. I'd settle for just a 4wd Cherokee so I can have it's axles and then source a transmission and drive shafts. Then or during that I want to do a 3 inch lift so I've been closely following all the current threads on that. I'm thinking about painting the truck with one of the common bedliners used on here or having it actually painted but I just ain't sure yet. However for now the truck is drivable and that's not something I want to lose so I can't take it put of commission long term.

In order from right to left Radio fuse because my harness was shot. I ran it up to the right most switch on the dash and then to the radio. Then my 12v plug was installed. I added that I wasn't in my truck from the factory. I have the phone mount/switch panel coming to replace it with. Then the red wire runs to the cb radio which is grounded by the gas pedal mount. Edit to add. I do plan on replacing that with a bigger and better fuse box and relocating it to the passenger floor board as it has more space. I can easily adjust the wiring harness as it sits to accommodate relocating it to a better location. This was a temporary solution that became semi permanent.

It aint nothing fancy and it don't look good. It's an little 5 fuse box that they sell at o reilys. I wired it in and temporarily slid it under the floor heat and the rubber mat. Look to the top left corner of the shifter. I can get better pictures. In hindsight I found out you can get a much better 10 fuse box that I could've mounted in the passenger side under the dash and may still consider it.

You know that ain't a bad idea for just a plain one colored light. I know you can buy white led bed light sets real cheap but that ain't a bad idea at all. I really like the part about silicone for securing them because you can easily melt it off to remove it. That maybe how I secure mine because I don't believe tape will hold up long term.

Asking because I have the same mirror to remove In the future are you saying pop the bottom cover off from the outside? Screws could be under it?

Oh ok thanks.

Hey thanks a bunch but I've got one question I looked a bit and can't find it. Where can I find out what all those codes mean off to the side?

Yes it does have power steering. I'll edit original post.

89 Jeep Comanche Sport Truck SWB It's got the 2.5l in it paired to the 4 speed 2 wheel driver tranny. Don't know the rear gear ratio. It was as simple as they came off the factory floor. Not an extra thing on it from the factory. No fog lights, no 4wd, not even any ac, nothing interesting. Only thing extra it has is power steering. It's Jeeps go to Tan from back then inside and out. It's got the bench seat with the shifter indent in it. Manual windows and door locks with only the one mirror as the Sport trucks were done. I'm the 4th owner of it. It was bought new by my grandfather's father in law. The FIL sold it to his daughter at some point. My dad bought it off of her say roughly 18 years ago. He wrecked it and parked it in a field about 18 years ago. He wasnt at fault, he hadn't had a year at that point. It sat in a field for about 13 years. When he pulled it out and put it in our work barn for 3 years slowly fixing it partially. He gave it to me after we had it running. I've had it about 2 and a half years now. I've done some minor mechanical work to it. Everything I've done has been just to do it. It would run fine when I got it. I've got a build thread on it so I'll link that here https://comancheclub.com/topic/67743-cornfeds-89-comanche/

Coincidentally tripping over this thread has probably fixed one of my problems to. I'll know in a few weeks my 4 ways wouldn't work with all led lights including the dash cluster. I didn't realize it had a separate relay. I've ordered an led relay to put in it for those then I'll put my led dash lights back in and see if it fixed them. Thanks for reviving the old thread.

So I've been thinking of doing this myself so I'll give you some ideas. I plan on using an led rope light under the bed rails. Here's how I'd do it. I've got a aftermarket fuse box in my truck. I'll run power from my fuse to a switch in the cab. In the factory switch spots. Take the wire out of the switch through an existing grommet in the firewall and down under the truck. Up to the drain hole in the bed with wire loom over the wire possibly or I may take it up and over the top of the bed in the back because I have a tool box to hide it. Then just wire led rope lights into the wire that was run from cab. It's fuse protected run in wire loom all the way to the bed. Me personally I plan on using color changing rope lights which I know has a computer box that needs to stay dry. Run my wire completey the same as before take it into the toolbox. Have all the led light controller in there. Mount two light strips in the tool box. Run the wires out of either side of the toolbox to the rope lights under the bed rails. I can still turn them on and off from the cab and they'll stay set at the same color. Which will normally be white. I haven't bought any yet. I'm planning on it I'm just trying to find the best ones for me. All in all it should cost about 50 bucks to do it my way. Lights, switch, and some wire to run from battery to switch and to the bed If needed.

Thanks I've got an idea in mind to try. If that don't work I'll go borrow one and try it of an old truck.

Us farm kids don't listen well definitely haven't experienced why we aren't supposed to do that and then turn around and do it anyway. Actually I'm planning on getting and old receiver and a shackle/d ring for actual recovery. Thinking about getting a front mounted hitch for the same reason.

Alrighty yall it's been a week since I have updated this thread so let's do that. I went back to work this week so my time with the Manche (Yet to be named) came to a screeching halt. However all is good now. I went Monday before I left for the week and got my truck back from the shop. Hitch was installed using new grade 8 bolts and the exhaust was reworked to go around the hitch. However the mechanic didn't get to installing the lic plate lights. They're in the holes but aren't wired up. I need to get to that but am not sure when I will, It's deer season In ky and I have other priorities don't yall judge me. So I started the weekend off with a little trouble shooting. I noticed after having replaced my dash lights that my 4 ways no longer functioned. Keep in mind all my lights except headlights are led. I replaced the relay when I did the initial swap last week and they had been working. So I figured either the switch had went bad which I figured was unlikely or I need incandescent bulbs in the dash for the turn signal bulbs. I replaced them back to the original bulbs and my 4 ways work again how wonderful. Then I moved on to my horsepower increase 4 thousand. I had a bit of blowby into my old air filter so I cleaned the box up and put in a brand new K&N air filter. Then I realized I didn't take any pictures of it installed so I took the box back apart just for yall. Cleaned the outside of the box and even slapped some stickers on. PS If anyone knows where to find a radiator reservoir cap I'd appreciate it. Next I moved onto installing my switch mounts I had ordered. For the time being I'm only using one but that may change in the future. That was a quick and easy process. I put the dash back together after I was done. Then this evening I ordered the 12v plug replacement panel. So I can put a dash mat on my truck and therefore need to move my phone mount. It's called being stupid. I also ordered a radio mount to see if it allows my dash to mount flush instead of being pushed out like it is. I don't have any pictures of it but it seems like it may be because mine is thicker than most being universal. To finish it off all the way from Little Rock Arkansas. I brought home a locking hitch pin and ball then installed it in the hitch for a bumper saver slash recovery point. Got to say it is looking good. Couldn't be happier with how the truck is turning out. Got a few projects remaining. Gotta replace the window seals but the only place I've found them is Summit racing and they're out of stock. Would like to put on a dash mat so I can protect the old thing. Couple of very minor interior things like the new plug panel and radio mount. I've requested a plug and play trailer harness from one of our members here need to install it when I get it. Now I sit and debate a very important decision. Do I want to go a mostly stock clean work truck or do I want to go show truck. I can get a fake woodgrain dash for it. Nice new woodgrain stainless steel steering wheel, Shiny polished aluminum wheels, nice clean kind of two tone paint job and, maybe some under glow to finish it off. A man can dream if nothing else.

What color did you order your tan one in? I've got the tan interior in my comanche and that looks like it matches really well. I noticed they had three options on covercrafts website.

Hitch is sort of on. I started the project myself and realized that I didn't want to snap off bolts or cut the exhaust off to mount the hitch. Took it to my new mechanic/previous and current exhaust guy. I had him to install the hitch. I've got him reworking the exhaust so it comes out beside the hitch. I've also got him wiring up my lic plate lights and my right taillight. However the man who made the hitch sent grade 2 bolts with it to mount it that's a soft bolt not good for that kind of project. I snapped off one of the original bumper bolts. He snapped off one of the new bolts for it. So I went to tsc got him some grade 8 bolts. Which are hard bolt and are good for towing. I wound up dropping the truck off on Thursday. I expect to get a call today saying it's done. Hes a one man show and people are always interrupting his work as he also has a junkyard and an mj in it that I'm attempting to buy for parts. I'm hoping I get the truck back today as I miss it. Then we'll get us a finished product picture. He also recommended someone in the area to paint the truck. Which is right here in my neck off the woods. I pass his place all the time and think about stopping in to see what kind of work he does. So I may stop by when I get the chance and see if he'd be interested in the work.

Actually it isn't quite as blue as it looks the camera on the phone makes it look so much more blue than it is. It's a normal blue color but it isn't that strong. I may play with some filters to try and make it look normal. Edit to add. I tried the filters none of them done anything to help me take the blue out of the photo. The best way to describe it is that it isn't so bright. You can still clearly see the black of the rubber floor board. I've got my grill in the truck its still clearly black the seat is still clearly tan buy my camera won't cooperate with me.

Alright I have slipped a little far down the list. So I guess I need to bring myself back up a couple notches. I had to go to the doc the past two days and ain't had time to work on the truck since Saturday. However I did a little bit on and off. I put my blue led bulbs in the b pillar lights yesterday. I had been waiting on them to come in. Today I put in my floor lighting. It's just a plain blue led light strip. I wired it up with male spade connecters and put them in the factory plug for the floor board lights so that I didn't have to cut it off. I stuck a zip tie between the hot and ground so they couldn't touch and short out. Then I taped it so I can't fall out. I'm extremely satisfied with how nice the interior has turned out. I painted the hitch I bought from Krusty on Sunday aiming to have free time to install it and I haven't had the time to install it. It's supposed to rain the rest of the week so I may have to move stuff around so I can bring it in the garage. I'm hoping to install it tomorrow but no promises can be made. Once I install the hitch I need to wire up my lic plate lights. I'm just waiting to put the hitch on before I do that. I started to install the headlight harness in the truck this evening but ran out of daylight. I will finish putting it together tomorrow. That's what I'd cluttering up my seat in the photos above. Once that's done I plan to replace them with hella h4 led kit but don't want to spend the money now. Hopefully I'll be able to make another post tomorrow. With a handful more photos. Hope all yall have had a good few days. We shall meet again.

I just done it to mine on the passenger side this week. You need to pull the door panel off. Remove the black plastic piece by removing one screw then gently pry out from the window side. Unbolt the out plastic trim piece. I used self taping bolts because those mirrors aren't threaded. Put the seal in between the mirror and door. Install the self taping bolts. Tighten it down. Reinstall black plastic trim piece on the inside and put the door panel back on. Maybe a 20 minute job. I plan on doing the drivers side later this week and remove the small mirror over there. I'm going to try and stick a bolt with a rubber o ring down into the hole where the original mirror was and then tighten it down so it don't leak. This is a temporary solution until I paint the truck because I cannot find a better one. So I'm open to suggestions there. If you need any help at all let me know and I'll try and elaborate.

To start with aww thanks @Pete M never considered adding the year to the title. Today I done absolutely as little as I could. I put blue leds in the dash finally. Important note I'm changing them for a different set on Tuesday these have a microchip on the stem and prevents them from sliding all the way into the socket. So I'm changing them for some that will. I will update when I do because I don't know if they'll dim like these do. Please note note in the picture they're not as bright as they appear. I can read the gauges at max brightness. They're a lighter blue and not as bright but they dim. So I'm happy with it. I wired up my other interior light and went hunting. I found my floor board plugs. I have no floor lights what so ever just the plug. Took the test light and checked them. They work so I ordered some 1 foot blue led strips that will be put in the floor board. If you've noticed a theme. I got in my oil cap and one of the hoses I need. I have an adapter kit sorta to replace the pcv line because no one can find the real one. Air filter will be in Thursday so you know. Dang it. Probably won't touch the truck again till sometime next week. Gonna try and get it running tomorrow morning but no promises. I'm hopefully going to look at another project truck tomorrow. Guys canceled on me twice but I'm still hoping. Hopefully gonna paint the hitch tomorrow morning. So it can be put on next week. Got to go to doc Monday so that'll be problematic as well for working on the truck. I'm hoping to get it running again. As always hope yall enjoy the read it's a short one tonight. Been busy today.

Just sent it I do very much appreciate the help.

I know you're still active and I didn't want to start a new thread. I'm on a phone and it always says file size to large. I've tried the few tricks I know like screenshot and crop but no luck so I'd appreciate some advice. I'd enjoy an avatar photo.

Alrighty yall good evening and hope yall are enjoying. I will say I am disappointed I didn't accomplish as much as I had wanted to and have a bad habit of not taking before during and after photos however I am trying to get better at it. So my first project today was a good one so good in fact I didn't even finish it. I put the trim panel that runs along the bottom of the dash halfway back on. I tinkered with some other odds and ins and just killed some time. Well ups came while I was wasting time and delivered a handful of packages. My mirrors came in today so I pulled my right door panel off and put the right hand mirror on my truck and put it all back together. I'm so talented I didn't take a single picture of my new mirror. It only has the one on the drivers side from the factory. Next I left and went to town I took the old Air filter with me the other day and ordered a new one. Never once so much as looked at it till I got home and they give me the wrong one. I ordered an upfitter switch because they only had one in stock. Last night I ordered the panels that hold switches in on either side of the steering colum. So I can have them separate from the dash panel. So when I remove it my switches stay put. They should be in this coming week. However I went to the parts store for two reasons. One was for my pcv line and another line. Neither of witch have came in and are already a day late. The other reason is because I need new door switches for the interior lights and I forgot to order them dang it. So when I came home I put in the new reverse lights and bolted them back in place. Quick easy project as it was getting dark out. I had planned to put in all of my led dash lights but I needed one more so I bought a pack without paying attention. Led 1157 bulbs do not fit in the dash in case anyone was wondering. I know it takes a 194 bulb but I grabbed the wrong pack so tomorrow ill fix that. I came home and had an email saying I had received my euramtec lights. However I didn't realize I forgot to check the mail so I could've changed those much earlier. However I did install one of them. But do not have it in place yet as I am putting blue leds in them before mounting them in their provided bezel. But one of them is installed. I will say you have to notch out the hole approximately a eighth of an inch. I done this with a folding utility knife. You could use a dremel but I didn't care enough to get it. Last project for the night was an inside project. I ordered a beige cupholder set which I didn't take a picture of before I "fixed it" so let me pull one from Amazon. I have and will get a photo of eventually a cup holder set in my truck I use the center seatbelt to hold it in place. However I travel with my dog most the time so he has to jump over it on a regular basis and I just don't care for how it looks. So I grabbed the dremel and gave it an attitude adjustment. Slid it in the truck and used a 2x4 to keep it from falling over. However I made a decision while thinking about it. I'm going to try and take the panel I cut off and put it on the backside that we see. I'm also going to cut the 2x4 to fit the shifter even with where it's raised and stain it and just leave it like that. I cut it flush so I could use 3m velcro to keep it in place but I prefer the stability this will provide. That's not a project I'm gonna rush it's just a whenever I get around to it thing. As you can tell it is much much darker than it appears in the ad. One picture is with flash the other is with the new interior light and is facing the same as it was in the photo. Please ignore the cluter the truck is in a million pieces right now. I honestly don't know what tomorrow's projects will be as I am stuck waiting on several parts. I will get the gauge cluster back in with all leds tomorrow for certain. However It doesn't do me any good if I can't start the motor while waiting on numerous hoses and an oil cap for the motor. My headlight harness Is supposed to be in this week. My led interior lights should be in Tuesday with my led license plate lights. Doing the entire light not just bulbs. My door switches may be in Sunday or Monday. I'll probably take one off the truck tomorrow so they have a reference they may have a couple universal ones in stock. Lots of fun I tell you. Any how I appreciate yall reading this. Hope yall enjoy watching the progress. I go back to work after next week and then the daily post or even weekly post will stop.
