A side note to the bigger discussion....but if you are looking for a better way to run battery power to accessories, I would look into creating some sort of fuse panel or at least single electrical...
Yes - it has a similar exhaust gas carb heater passageway.....A lot of people block them off like you tried, and I remember thinking about what to do with it last fall, but now I cannot remember what...
The OEM wiper system for these old willys is a vacuum motor mounted inside the engine bay on the firewall and a very convoluted and unique cable and pulley system up behind the dash. The vacuum motor...
Was pretty exciting to see this happen today:

I gave up on Optimas 5-6 years ago. The Duracell AGM is what I've been running in my cj and wifes car for 4-5 years - has been great. If I was spending extra coin for the absolute best battery, then...
Yes - but I don't trust doing it on the mag/aluminum rims. I don't want to eff them up - or at least I'd rather eff them up on the rocks on the trail than in my garage. The tire shop immediately...
This is what I wanted to do, but most shops would not touch it as its deemed sidewall....plugging it from the oustide was just my fallback option that I would do if no-one would patch it. On the...
Just keeping this planning going..... putting 10/9-12 on the calendar...expect we might do some MTBing in moab area afterwards to make a week long trip out of it.
Whaddya think...too far down into the sidewall for a shop to want to patch? Worth trying a plug?

I've been trying to determine if a cyclic, speed related 'whompf-whompf-whompf' sound and vibration is some sort of bearing going bad, or if its just unbalanced, chunky, cupped, worn tires causing...
The rear seam between the corner panel and the taillight panel that I welded together last fall starting pulling apart after just a wheeling trip or two.......
Lets plan a rubicon run for ex FR4x4 members....Fordyce might be beyond my little jeep...best wishes
Not that it helps with the cost pain, but much like TDash - we just installed some A/C in Montana house and units ranged from $7-10K just for the A/C or heat pump depending on the set-up, and that of...
Will let you know....4.0 HO TJ would be a good starter jeep for budget oriented. The early JKs we're also coming down in price before economic changes. The above 48 doesn't meet highway capable....
Very clean and good price....

Stock jeep driveshafts are not known as the highest quality, so replacing them with something better is never a bad idea....but....I would guess both you and many thousands and thousands of other...
Quite the deep water fording kit on it - both the intake snorkel and tall exhaust....many (if not all) military jeeps came with 24V systems and full-waterproofing. I know quite a bit about the 1955...
And so I don't get in trouble with the detail oriented crowd or give false info....it is an m38, not an MB...m38 was the second generation version of military jeeps after the famous MB/GPW of WWII...
First little foray into the mountains with the cj in Montana...did a cw loop around the Bridger mts heading north up the west side, then east over Flathead Pass (the only little section of sort of...
Feel like we are settling in....got the important stuff organized - sad part is the small gear room is getting full and I still have 3 more pair of skis and quite a few backpacks that are not in...
WAG...wild -ss guess
Just to ask...I assume it's a hydraulic clutch, so has it ever been flushed with new fluid? Don't know if modern clutch fluid has as much affinity for water as brake fluid, but maybe it's getting a...
Awesome to see the great turn-out sign up on the calendar....thanks Trevor and all
Off topic for the original thread, but since Jim was discussing on board welding ...friend just added one of these spool gun wire feed welder to his jeep.
