I dont think I would put it on mine
I'm proud of my 1943 Jeep

A new water pump went in when the new engine went in

After I take the cover off, I go round, count the tyres, give am a kick, lift the hood/bonnet, check water, oil

Look underneath for leaks

Then jump in and start it up, watch the ammeter, see...

Found it in the back of a shed/garage in the UK

It was so full of junk, you couldnt fit a car in there

I have found a slat grill, I think its from a 1941 Willys Jeep

It was in the back of a garage under a lot of junk/rubbish

Did they ever stamp anything on them, numbers letters ?

This looks...

I wouldnt say I have a 'passion' for a Jeep

I like it, its cheap to run, (cheap insurance, no MOT and no road tax to pay) I can drive in to London and dont have to worry about any congestion...

That lady that renovated the Jeep was a girl after my own heart

I was never really interested in history or Jeeps

I just suddenly had a midlife crises (can you get them at 70?)

I just wanted...

I have no idea what will happen to my Jeep when I peg it

My kids aren't interested in it, if they are, it will be just for its monetary value

I am hoping my wife will find someone that knows my...

I was at a military show in Australia, they had a few Jeeps, that had been imported over there, trucks and tanks

Parts are really expensive over there so they have to use repo parts,...

Some might have a description of their vehicle, telling you what it is, who it served with, how old it is, some will display a corps or regimental flag

I have seen tanks with a 'Do not Climb'...

Thanks for your reply, I did look at this company, but its in the US and sending anything over there is ridiculously expensive and returning it isnt going to be any cheaper

I'll stick...

bmorgil well I am off to a Military show next weekend

I know everyone will be looking at the Jeeps on display, taking pictures, comparing them

There are always lots of Jeeps at these shows...

gmwillys

You know more about Jeeps than I do, so I bow to your superior knowledge

I wouldnt have known any of that

I am begining to wonder what you would think of my Jeep

I have even found a Jeep on eBay that has a slat grill
But he wants a top price it
I dont think he will sell it

Well this one on eBay lo0ks like the real deal, but with repo being so good these days, its hard to know

I have seen a slat grill on eBay, its an auction, so watching it and see what the bidding goes up to

What do you think a fair price is ?

bmorgil

Nothing being sent or bought from the US is cheap any more

From what I can gather this spedo is an original, so very reluctant to replace it

This is because of Brexit, the $ has...

gmwillys

I wont be making it it priority though.

if I see one on eBay or at any of the shows I go to and its a decent price, i might buy it

If have tried 2 cables now, inner and outer, both...

Thanks for the reply

I forgot to mention I am in the UK

Buying anything from the US these days is extremely expensive since we left the EU

My Jeep is fitted with a 12 volt alternator

gmwillys

Thanks for your reply to my thread

The gear box has been rebuilt, the clutch replaced

The parts came from Joes Motor pool here in the UK (good service parts arrived the next day)
...

My Jeep came with an alternator, it was installed before I bought it, its a 12 volt

I have read somewhere you can buy a alternator that looks and performs like a generator

It has all the same...

My Jeep came with an alternator, it went a bit belly up, so had to be replaced

The support bracket had to be replaced, it took the little Indian guy hours to make one

He had worked on Mahindra...

Ah the flag will be changed soon

Thank you for the compliment about my Jeep, a lot of blood, sweat and tears and coffee have gone into it

Ah, the flag on the hood will be changed soon

I have tried to keep it looking like a WW2 Jeep

Today I watched a video showing some of the difference btween a 41 Jeep and a 43 Jeep

I never...

I have no idea what speed my Jeep is doing, the speedo bounces around like a good 'un, but it is an original

I just have to gauge what other cars are doing

I dont visit the outside lane very...
