    Speedo cables are a maintenance item that nobody thinks of. I went through a couple of speedo cables before I found a good source of NOS cables. So far, and a few years later, it's still working good. Hopefully you have the same luck. As LarrBeard said a Garand in the rifle holster would definitely add a cherry to the Sunday.

    Added a replica M1 Carbine to the gun rack, looks great. Now people will know what it's for, lots of questions asking what the gun rack is.

    I like it! LarrBeard knows how to put on a show. He always has great suggestions. I think he has a shot a few of the real thing.

    Winter is here...time for some M38 maint! Although the Jeep has been running great it has a couple issues that need to be dealt with. First and foremost is oil leaks, the jeep is hemorrhaging oil from the transmission and transfer case leaving a lake of oil on the garage floor. Oil needs to be topped off often when driving the Jeep and it's making a huge mess under the Jeep and everywhere it parks. The trans also suffers from the common T90 popping out of second gear syndrome on Deceleration.

    Time to pull the transfer case and transmission and get these issues fixed so it's ready for fun next summer.

    Oil filling the drip pan and soaking up towels....




    Getting a bit more working room under the Jeep. I used my spare set of Honda Civic wheels to jack up the jeep. The wheels work great as they are dished in the middle and lock the tires in place nicely.






    Pulling the skid plate

    Made a bit more progress today.

    Pulling the transfer case shift lever pin and removing the shift levers. The M38 has a nice removable cover that makes this task easy.








    Draining the fuel tank for removal. The fuel tank needs to be completely cleaned out so I'll be removing the tank and cleaning it thoroughly before re-assembly. I keep a siphon setup on hand that works great, it's a air nozzle stuck into the end of a piece of fuel line, the air creates a vacuum that pulls the fuel through the hose nicely and starts the siphon. The tank does have a drain plug on the bottom of the tank but it's stuck pretty firm so I used the hose.
