Here's a link for the seats that the Jeepsterman sells: ...

Thank You Dgoodenow. That is exactly what I needed to see! According to my recent emails with Kaiser Willy’s Auto, the seat bottoms aren’t pleated,...

gm saved me from googling it! Ah yes, and "Drive like the wind"!

There you go Davide, a little Rush playing in the background never hurt anything.

Here's a few pictures of the seat covers I purchased a few years ago for my restoration project. I hope they help.

Getting my unique mount and crossmember all buttoned up yesterday was a breeze. I installed the new brake and clutch springs. The clutch cable was...

I have sent a picture request through the Kaiser Willy’s site, but haven’t received a reply yet. I did receive their new catalog yesterday. However,...

Your fiber gear looks really good from the photo. A T-500 Galion road graders used to run a big fiber gear that the governor would mesh with. ...

You definitely have something unique going on with that cross member and mount. The original mount should have bolted right up. I am not sure what is...

I should have thrown out some more details as to why I couldn't get the crossmember to bolt up to the frame. While I could get the trans mount and...

Awesome, thanks. It doesn't look like it's excessively worn. I'll get it measured and go from there. This photo isn't great but it's all I have right...

On a fiber gear you are looking for no more than .005" of backlash. Usually on a new gear there will be 0.00" to .003". The most important thing is...

Yikes, that would hurt, Larry. I normally say I'm not officially working in the shop unless there's blood somewhere. Alright, how do I go about...

It absolutely happens to us all. TJ and I would kid that when we ran into an issue, we would sit back and make a drink and have a smoke about it...

Ouch Larry! This work can be very unforgiving. You are lucky it didn't snip off your finger tip. Whenever I am feeling an odd pain, I wonder if...

"Make sure the lifters are out of course! " YES! Once upon a time about 1964 I rotated the cam gear to get access to a bolt. I reached through...

Yes on yours you can pull the cam with the gear on. Make sure the lifters are out of course! On a chain set up it wouldn't work because the chain...

David it happens to us all! You get into an overthinking it mode. You have seen a bunch on your project now and for some reason we always think the...

Another question, I'm about ready to pull the cam out. The timing gear is tight on the cam and I don't have a puller that will work on it. The gear...

I feel rather stupid about this but found that the bolt is a 7/16-14. Every other bolt on the t-case is 3/8, so I never thought to check it out. I...

What your saying makes since, now that I think about it. It always did have a bit of a (stutter is the wrong term) but something like that at idle....

You are going at it the right way '56. The machinist will fix what you need. Will it run better? Lets analyze it. The cylinder with the hole in...

Alright I called my first engine builder. He said that he's backed up and can't touch it until the end of July, so much for that feeling of optimism,...

That's about how flossy ran, plugs always look good (and they are vintage plugs from who knows when) and only on very rare occasions would it puff a...

Since I have had the Heep in my care, the engine runs well, but I can tell it's starting to get tired. The plugs all look good, and it doesn't smoke...

Great info, Thanks!

Flat towing is not a problem. There is a discussion or two on the forum about this. The one caution from gmwillys is to be sure your tow rig out...

No question David, I would choose the JB two part 24 hour cure over all of them. It will hold golf club heads on and I have used it on extensively...

Yes, I have been mulling my options. I thought about removing the PTO cover and laying some rags down to collect shavings. There will be a good...

Interested in hearing opinions regarding flat towing one of these Jeeps. On-line research seems to indicate the suggested method is to remove the...
