Prep for 2024 Summer Season

Jeep Prep 2024

It's time to wake up the Jeep from its long winter knap and prepare it for the summer events.

Winter Canvas Top

Winte Top

I added a Winter Top. Living in Seattle you can be sure it will rain on your Parade!

New Fuel Gauge

New Fuel Guage

There was a problem with my fuel gauge. It bounced around or just didn't work. It turned out to be a malfunctioning gauge not a wiring isssue. I replaced it with a better quality one form Kaiser Willys.

Bow for Winter Top

Winter Top Bow

When I ordered the Bow for the canvas Winter Top I had the vendor cut in it half to save a bundle on shipping. All I had to do was weld it back together.

Fixed Fuel Gauge

Fuel Cell Sending Unit
Fixed the fuel gauge. The after market 12v sending unit was not adjusted correctly. The float moved too far past the empty position and then when fuel was added it would float up the wrong way causing the gauge to read empty all the time. Also, the 12v version of the sending unit was not designed for the shape of the M38A1 tank. When it shows empty there is another gallon remaining.
