    I live in an apartment complex and have a problem with people siphoning my gas. I have an M38A1 and have the original gas cap (screw type). Do you guys have any idea how I can lock it?

    I would suggest you put in an auxilary gas tank,use it for the jeep, then fill the front tank with some type of sugar gas. Let em siphon all they want!

    All I can think of is to put a cover or hasp on it with a padlock. Crude but I don't expect anyone makes a locking cap for that big filler neck.
