Welcome Bowlingusmc!

The following link will give you a good look for how the data plates are configured for a 2A. The CJ2A is stamped on the serial number line on the left side, and the serial...

It didn't give a date that I saw. I would figure it to be the early sixties. Yeah, the lawyers would be all over it today. Watching vintage Twilight Zone episodes while Rod Serling pedaled and...

BB may want to swoop in and put a booth up selling either the plans for his design so the DIYers could build examples of his, or custom built rolling chassis for bunches of money.

For those of us that don't remember Bull in the Woods;

The low tone demands respect, and gets its point across without being too obnoxious.

Welcome DezertNavy,

Since you have the frame, you are well on your way to an M38 project. The hard parts to come up with that are Military specific are mainly located on the frame, (machine gun...

Premium brand engines, (CAT for instance) use one or two thermostats for redundancy. Over the last 12 gears, we have implemented that when in doubt, change them out. Since the vehicles were going...

I'll get you the part number for the wrench. I bought the set new in '92. Not vintage, but not new either. The offset is probably 3/4" or so.

The truck and wagon 11" brakes do only have one eccentric per shoe for a total of two per wheel end. They are much easier to adjust for sure. I found that a Snap On 3/4" offset Box End wrench slips...

Lewis 505,

No real special tools required outside of an offset set of boxed end wrenches. The top jam nuts are 9/16", while the bottom jam nuts are 3/4". The center bolt needs an open end wrench...

Great stroll down memory lane!

I use a weld through primer to prep the panels before installation. I have found that any good self etching primer will work in a pinch. I like to use the Rust oleum self etching primer rattle...

I agree with TJones. Very well done Sir.

As a card carrying member of the mens club, I know on many occasions I feel the need to stick my foot in my mouth. Us idiots need to stick together, and will continue to give out free jeep life...

I did notice the headers. I like your thought process, and your execution of the mods. Direct bolt ins gives you the option to go back in with the Dauntless without much fuss. In my opinion, I...

Great news! Glad you were able to get the horn up and running again.

My level of comprehension must be sub par. I did neglect to include idiotic expert. Please excuse my oversight.

All the "guidance" is worth every penny you have paid for it.

You are correct Bmorgil, it's the have's rubbing their haves in the face of the have nots.

Patience my good AZ. When the ball starts rolling, you'll be overloaded with rust and despair.

The pictures in your album through the years are great! That is one clean 5!

As a spectator of the online auctions, most do not sell for the asking or reserve price. Outfits like Barrett Jackson demand and most of the time get stupid money for their offerings, but that is an...

In my case, I like the imperfection that is the body/tub, but it needs to run and stop as intended. It ain't pretty, but it will get you there.

I'd fix it for you, no sweat.... But not making solid contact is odd while turning the cams. The issue I have when the lock nut doesn't hold the cam perfectly tight while performing panic stops, is...

Not many vehicles earn the award for having the ability to scare the goat off of a Great Northern Railroad boxcar. Although I do like odd and unusual, I am not too eager to deal with another...
