Hodakaguy,

You can do either that Bmorgil said. In my opinion, since you already have the new mount handy, clean the frame really well and start at one end welding the new bracket in. As you hear up the...
Yep, you all helped to talk me out of it.... Like I need more projects to keep up with and taking time from finishing others.
It's not a good idea to not run a thermostat at all. The water needs a resistor to slow it down when going through the radiator to get the heat transfer out of the water. If you do choose to remove...
I stopped by a week ago and talked with him a while. He's trying to retire, but people drop stuff off to him daily. He doesn't answer the phone, and doesn't have voicemail or an answering machine,...
Hockey pucks work pretty good unless you need taller mounts. Just drill a hole in the center, and there you go.
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.
I did get a call from the starter guy, and he said my...
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!
