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,...
At least Bubba used different colors... I had one that ALL the wires were blue....and wrapped with blue marking tape.
The 15x5.5 are pretty common on the open market. Those would probably bring $50 to $75 per wheel being refreshed. Ford, Dodge, and IH Scouts all ran the same size wheel up through the early 90s....
With so many drive line components, in our case at work(four differentials, four drive shafts, eight axle shafts, eight wheel ends, eight road grader run flat tires, two axles that turn, eight...
Welcome Sourdough TJ. I have a soft spot in my heart for M38A1s, so feel free to ask any questions you have. The Sears and Monkey Wards catalog plus the JC Whitney catalog were great wish books!
Welcome Todd! Great looking 3A. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have.
That is a very interesting chart Bmorgil.
I'm having to relearn on how to troubleshoot electrical since transferring to our new production branch. All the electrical has gone to a can bus system. In my opinion, we have overcomplicating a...
It's only down in spirit. I have a spare starter and a generator that can be used in a pinch, but neither are direct replacements. The generator is clocked different on the front mount, and...
That about sums up the process Chief.
I am certain you are spot on Senior Chief. Cooking oil is a good fuel source if it is warmed up, but it makes everyone riding and passing by hungry for French fries.
Hamm is out again for another ice cream season.
The Heep is down right now. I pulled the starter and generator to get them cleaned up and bearings put in the generator. I haven't had time to...
56, larrbeard is 100 percent correct in regards to educated idiots. I too work with engineering, and some of the most educated are punctuation illiterate. If you wouldn't have told us that you...
You don't have to be a subject matter expert to teach. Whe I was in school, our metal shop teacher was a retired Army drill instructor, and the auto shop teacher was a former Chicago cop. The world...
The building is half the fun. The other is the years of smiles you'll get from driving Flossy.
Fuel has come s long ways since then. I had a John Deere B that had a small gas tank to warm the engine up then you turned the main tank which was for distillate, (low grade fuel). The deuce and a...
