Great information Bmorgil!

Check out some vintage tachometers to ease the pain of too much information in a stylish wrapper.

I agree with Bmorgil. I would remove the broken bolt, and return the out of speck hub. If you run into a problem, drop me a note with your address, and I'll send you an original hub. I've got a...

Any little burble or change in RPM on a single engine over water would make you draw up a bit.....

Bmorgil is right on the money on the carb tune for a bump up in the idle circuit to overcome the...

That is a super clean wagon! Your gallery photos turned out great.

What are friends for..... Influencing questionable decisions on a regular basis.

Great picture!

If LarrBeard were to break down, I'd just pull him through with the Heep. Smile and wave boys, we got this.

All hat, no cows..... Haven't heard that one in a while.

A Jeep, a stogie, and a neighborhood cruise wave of acknowledgement makes for a perfect trip.

Maybe some KW Sombreros?

A snazzy paint job only leads to an LS or Hellaphant transplant.....

Truly a story for the ages. Anyone who has had to crawl through a barnyard, hedgerow, or salvage yard to obtain the one coveted part you need will probably enjoy this tale.

True LarrBeard, We are lacking in Jeepster expertise outside of the work you did a while back on the overdrive actuation. The only model of Willys that we will need to learn more about will be the...

Outstanding! You have done a great job with the Jeepster.

Welcome Nance206,

That is a good looking wagon!

What's wrong with the color? After a while, the color will grow on you. In Highschool, we called my wagon the aquarium.

I like it though. I would jump on it in a heartbeat.

It all depends on what you plan to do with your Jeep. I like the amount of sanity depravation that the old drum/manual brakes has to offer. I keep them around for certain times when I need a good...

You are correct Joey. The locking hubs were an aftermarket accessory well into the CJ5 production. What turned the corner for Willys and later Kaiser to start putting them on from the factory was...

PaulB,

The manual hubs will need to be set to lock for the front wheels to be engaged for four wheel drive to work. The hubs are intended to reduce wear on the front axle by disconnecting the...

The ground is located correct location as with the stock generator would have been. I would grab a multimeter to measure the resistance from the negative battery terminal to the alternator mount...

Welcome Red Beard Lures,

As Bmorgil said, please post some photos to help us figure out what you have.

I agree with the battery. Batteries will crap out overnight, when the weather changes drastically. In a usual warm climate like Texas, the battery doesn't see big swings in temperature over its...

I do believe you got every bit of good out of both the oil and plugs. He will sure like the new plugs and transfusion.

Great photo diary of your Jeep trip! Beautiful countryside.

Welcome Richard0001,

Not a bad looking '58 at all. A great start to a project for sure.

Fences are no obstacle for a Jeep.
