Lights in the cab
Finally after all the wiring was complete I started checking all of my lights to make sure everything worked properly.
Gauge lights, under the dash lights, and dome lights all work great!

New fuel pump
Once I got the engine running I started hearing a constant wining from the fuel pump. I figured after sitting for more than 2 1/2 years and then picking up debris from the fuel tank welding that I better buy a new pump. The filters were new 2 1/2 years ago but I installed some new filters with the new pump and now it's nice and quiet.
Blown brake switch
After chasing a brake fluid leak over and over, I found this brake switch faulty and about to blow the top off!

Bumpstop parts
My front springs seem to flex pretty good,so good that just doing a sharp u-turn allowed my fron driveshaft to hit my crossover head pipe for my exhaust.
I cut all the parts to make the front bumpstops. Now to weld them together and try them out.

New wheels
I came across a great deal on these rims so I ditched the old white wagon wheels. These are a little wider so the footprint will be better plus they are powder coated satin black and will look good on the old' Jeepster.

Parked in LBC
The Jeep is parked in the exact spot the Jeep was parked on the day that I drove it home from my brother's house. It left as a Commando and came back to visit as a Jeepster!
