That's why I'm on the fence about the time to polish. Since I pressure washed the mud off of the Heep last fall, she's not looking too hot.

A few smudges on PeeJ makes it look even better.... But of course, that's my opinion. I think when I get a bunch of time in a row, I'm going to attempt to aircraft polish the Heep. There will be a...
Don't be a Herbie is right up there with "there is a village somewhere deprived of an idiot" borrowed from the English.
Your welds are getting better by the day. The tailgate looks awesome, and right at home.
Canadian Army had their own cartoonist, to include some Jeeps;

Senior Chief has taught me everything I know. There is a "Blazing Saddles" Slim Pickens quote that comes to mind, but I'll keep that one floating around in my head.
Good deal on the floor 56. Oil can is the correct term for the ripple. It's much more fun to use your Jeep as intended, and have fun too.
4,000 seems like a bit much for views, being that we are kind of hidden away at the bottom of KW's website.... But we do like it that way. The Facebook forums are mostly wastelands of keyboard...
Don't fret the small stuff. It happens. On the M38A1 I did several years back, I got a whole lot cocky / impatient or both. The passenger floor was going together well, until it didn't. One...
There is always more than one way to skin a cat. There are no real problems, just solutions. Good job on getting the fork in place. It is a dance to get everything just right to get in line. The...
It's all about the GOAT!
For every good Jeep rat rod, there are an equal or greater amount of awful ones.
Looking good.
There are also shrinking disks that you can purchase to fit to your grinder. You run the disk over the high spot until it shrikes the metal.

I read that story through a Facebook post a while back. That would be a cool thing to have in the inventory for sure.
In thumbing around the interwebs, I came across this road race CJ for...
Depending on how much of a ripple you have on the rear floor, you can apply heat to the high part and quench it with a rag drenched in ice water. That will shrink the high spot to where it is less...
That there is a good use for the Jeep Commando, although they are starting to gain a slight bit of traction in the collector world... as long as it's a Hurst Commando.

Senior Chief is the toughest rascal around. No job too tough or too stinky to provide heat for Hamm.
Yes! I vote for the Gasser. Now that's a vision I can't picture. TJ knitting? Nope.
Looking great Mike!
Willie and Joe, characters from Bill Mauldin's Army. He has several Jeep themed cartoons.

I'll vote for the storyteller.... It's almost time for the GOAT tale to resurface.
I'm with Bmorgil. Don't let it get you down SW. Some forensic deconstruction should yield where the issue originated.
Aften cases a battery power disconnect switch is used as a two position keyed switch. Our Heep has one from a Hyster forklift, and has for at least 40 years. You can get them pretty cheap on Amazon...
Looks outstanding TJ. I can't wait to see what your next project is going to be after this ones done..
A hidden gem that has a lot of NOS M38A1 parts is; 1/4ton and Military.com
Kaiser Willys also carries a lot of good parts.
Another military forum that is pretty useful;
G503.com
Thank you for your service Sourdough. Modern cars leave a lot to be desired for ease of maintenance. I just came in from replacing an axle on my oldest daughter's Honda. It wasn't a horrible job,...
