You got it "fuel tank vent filter"

OK, next!
This is located just behind the air cleaner, there is a cushion clamp that it should be sitting in but is too loose to grab on to secure it. Looks like a Fuel Tank Vent but can't be sure. Can someone identify it for me?
The other obvious issue is that its not connected to anything, and for the life of me I do not see another nipple for another line to connect it to, any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Yup, mine is exactly the same way: too loose to actually hold it reliably in-place. It's the fuel vent filter, like Milcommoguy says. The open side gets a vent line that attaches to a deep water fording kit, should you choose to install that later. As I see it, everything is working correctly for you...maybe just add a shim to help hold that vent filter in place?You got it "fuel tank vent filter"

I had this issue, too. I was able to sneak a rivnut in there just right to get it hold in place. If that fails, you can place in a wellnut that will expand a bit larger and should hold up a few years before the rubber dry rots. The wellnut was actually what was there when I picked up my HMMWV, but it had rotted and torn. Welding in a new plate of aluminum or some fill is definitely the long term fix when you're ready.Issue de jour
I am in the process of replacing my soft top and ran into loose side rails... so loose that in fact they have wallowed out the hole where the fastener once was located and was at one time assumedly tight.
Anyone ran into this and have any thoughts about how they prepped for repair? Less welding up and redrilling, I'm at a loss. Preference being that replacing the B-Pillar does not have a place ont he list of possible ways to resolve.
Welding it up is equally challenging until a spoolmate gun introduced to the family of tools, but will likely come in hand other places so not out of reach.

I may be interested in those. Can you drop me a PM with the details?I have a set of soft doors here in IL if you are interested.
