See, the difference between PeeJ and Flossy, is that Flossy and I aim towards the dirty areas. Back before I had the crazy idea to tear it apart, so it still ran. If there was a soft muddy spot in...

Geez, your one step away from running through the mud pit now!!! Ateast PeeJs out and running good for another season. Even with a little mud she still looks pretty!

So your planning a big...

Alright, just got off the phone with Herm. So he said its likely the collar gears are worn and thats causing it to not work. I told him i was missing the synchro, and that really didnt concern him,...

So here's pics of the front of the toolbox repaired. It still needs some welding and then cleanup. I also boxed in the angle iron support under the bed floor where it bolts to the frame. And made a...

Okay, back to work on the overdrive. I had put the stock gear back in it before, so I was able to drive it. Then got busy and never worked on the overdrive since. But now that the body is getting...

Today, maybe since the metal cooled down more? But now it's much better, before if I pushed on the top it would pop and stay down. Then upon applying pressure to the bottom it would pop and stay up....

Yea, if Gm and Larry keep it up they'll have the youngster breaking out Merriam Websters Big Book of Words to understand their posts! Jokes aside, keep it up guys, a little willys poetry keeps life...

Now yesterday there was almost 4,000 people online. You folks have the knowledge, It attracts those of us that don't. I think alot of people (myself included) have gotten lots of well needed help...

Today I tried heating the high spot on the floor with map gas, then quenched with a wet rag. I did it a few times, and it's better but not perfect. But I did get it better, it's probably completely...

Continuing hacking and welding the toolbox. I got the top done, aside from some time with the grinder cleaning my welds. And I made a patch that will finish the front wall, but I didn't get it welded...

That extended cab gladiator is super neat. So glad it was saved. Many moons ago when I was a very young whipper snapper, the local vintage truck dealer had a crew cab J truck. That thing was really...

I finished welding the bed floor tonight. I did over heat it so there's a bump in the middle, so that kinda sucks, but all in all it's in and plenty strong. So I'd say it's a success. Then I started...

If you're rewiring will you switch to 12 volt? These jeeps are super easy to rewire, I had mine running with less then 3 wires. But it's amazing the kind of stuff some people will do to a wiring...

Welcome aboard! Looks like you found a nice little Jeep. If all it needs is brakes and some wiring, you'll be in good shape in no time.

Sideways pics just add a little character!

Welcome, and thank you sir, for your service.
Love the M38a1s, that will make a great rig for doing some backwoods camping. Looking forward to seeing more of this project!

A gasser would be really cool, say a little 671 blower atop a 392 hemi with a Lenco. I had a crazy idea to get a fiberglass cj5 body and build a little drift jeep. With either a turbo rotary or an...

Ya'll are way too good to me, I try to be humble and you guys make me feel like a genius. Oh man gm, a drill instructor for a teacher. Atleast he wasn't your gym teacher!

I've just been...

Yes, sir! Spring is truly upon us! We had Dads 49 ford out a couple times in the last week or so. And my Grandpa was talking about getting the corvette out of storage. Now if only flossy was...

Looking good! That will be the world's strongest light bar mount!!!

Oh yes, I always wanted an m35. It would look so cool with a willys pulled up into the bed. And yes, running it off of vegetable oil would be so neat! The only problem is the fact that it's the size...

I can agree, the journey is always the most fun. I can think of soo many examples, like I am into model trains and model cars. (Or used to be, lately jeeps have been taking time/money away from other...

Thank you, everyone!!

Cat, the throttle shaft did have some slop,but I don't think it is too much. Just a tiny bit, although I hadn't thought of that causing vacuum leaks. And yes I did measure...

I think reliability would take a major hit. And for probably not much gain. Although experimenting would be a fun project. But Flossy will stay stock and reliable. But in the future if I build...

Here's the rear floor almost installed. I got the angle iron welded on the sides and the sheet meatl is fit and lightly tacked to hold. I need to make some more crossmembers then I can completely...

Here's the finished product. It actually looks better in person. The flash tends to highlight imperfections, but I think it turned out pretty good. Now I just need the rest of the jeep put together...
