    I converted the oil bath air filter to run a paper filter, sourced for a '78 Dodge Omni. I'm not going to argue about why I shouldn't have done this..;)

    It's done, been driving it. New sender and gauge as well. I have a few pics I could post I guess, but there's not much to see.:)
    Just a new gas tank.

    The Jeep had an externally regulated alternator when I got it, and I had pieced together a 1-wire 10SI out of parts I had and installed it. It crapped yesterday, so today I put a new 10SI on it and went ahead and wired it in a regular 3-wire configuration. I've put something around 1700 miles on the Jeep so far since I bought it.

    Did you get a gas cap from MTS? If so, are you having any problems with it sealing?

    I did, and it was junk. It didn't have the spring washer under the gasket and the locking tabs I could bend with my fingers.
    I went to napa and bought a cap, put a neoprene gasket in it, and it seals.

    I've done a few things....Cable operated heater control valve, new spare tire/ wheel, more carb work, support brackets inside the rear fender well for the tire carrier, back up/ tractor lights, oil pan gasket, new crank pulley, new hood welting, new poly fuel tank/ new lines, new fuel pump, straightened the trailer hitch/ draw bar, a little body straightening here and there, etc., etc. I don't have any pics but I'll get some. I continue to drive it virtually every day. I've put about 2500 miles on it..

    Do the shackle mounts double as a tow bar mount?
