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!

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.
