I agree with Bmorgil on the steering shaft welding. I have done sketchy repairs myself, but without the proper prep and weld penetration, you'll be asking for trouble. I'm glad that you are going...

Looks like a great turn out. PeeJay is a great leader of the pack. Glad you all had fun.

Build away. This is going to be excellent!

It's not egging you on, it's encouragement so to speak.

Let's use the universal Jeep justification chart;

Pros: 1) Miss Becky needs her very own
2) It's red
3) It's a...

The turning stops, (threaded bolt and jam nut) on the back of the axle tube on both sides needs to be adjusted out to prevent the tires from rubbing the frame/leaf springs. It saves from having to...

I nominate it going to the car barn with Ham's truck. LarrBeard said it was the right color after all.

Although an LS powered Jeepster would be a hoot to have, I don't think I could gut a...

Welcome CJ3eh!

Great survivor farm Jeep. Removal of a few leaves is quite alright in the name of drivability. Speedy Sleeves work well to retain the original yokes. We look forward to seeing...

Wow TJ. That's great to see one all done up nice. Yep, you are going to have to recruit him to the forum, and post some photos.

Jeeps had the same mentality as farm tractors had in that vintage. The instructions were, (in some tractor operator manuals like Allis Chalmers) to sit on the high side fender, and be prepared to...

I buy all my grade eight hardware by the pound at Tractor Supply. It's good hardware and I use it on everything.

The worm gear looks like one of the ball bearings found it's way there, and they muscled it through. It is amazing some times the different types of wear and damage that one comes across in a...

Speaking about a piece of art! That's my kind of sculpture. Now we get to sit back and watch it come to life before our eyes.

I use a lot of the cheap angle finders. They have a magnetic base to hold them tight. I put one on the frame, then one on the bracket. Just make both of the dials match. Then you don't have to...

Steve,

The dimensions stayed the same from the 2A through the CJ5. When you set up your new bracket in the former location, get it as level as you can. Left to right is more critical than...

I will be interested in a set for my project. The knobs will add a nice flair.

Welcome Dazzler,

We are glad you have joined up with us. I have a new found appreciation for the late '80s and early '90s Wranglers. The wife and I purchased one last January, and have been...

Dazzler,

Your hub cap was introduced in 1940 on their car line. Very nice piece!

The handle fit around the transfer case shifter, so it didn't slide around when hooking corners. The Radio Shack version didn't have a battery, so it had to be plugged in to use. You could buy a...

Ah, the bag phone! I had one in my '90 Chevy pickup. Radio Shack special for a penny to start, but don't get out of your area, because roaming charges were steep.

I can fully understand the attachment with your project. There is no amount of money that anyone could offer that would make me consider selling my 2A. Now my ongoing wagon project, if the right...

Looking great! The color looks good on the wagon too. Good body guys aren't cheap, but the final product will look great for another 60 years. We can't wait to watch all your hard work come...

I have felt the pain of finding out the wheels that I thought were good, ended up being junk. I had received the wheels on a crusty '47 2A. They held air, but the tires were beyond dry rotten. One...

The U stood for Utility, and was originally in a wagon. Willys did a very poor job of record keeping, and the engines were mass produced and only designated at the point of installation. This is...

Sometimes, you just have to back away from project. Expensive things happen when pushing too hard to make something perfect. TJ and I like the sit on a bucket, look at the problem, have a beer or...

Welcome Bates Ta!

We are glad to have you, and look forward to answering any questions you may have.
