Ok. Got the XZL's and MRAP wheels for 1700. when they come in I will be tearing all the hubs apart and servicing them as well as the brakes. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

So if you guys had a choice between Aluminum MRAP wheels and A3 wheels. Which one would you choose? Weight seems like a substantial amount. But is it really going to make a difference. I have a quote for 6 wheels and tires for 1800 for A3's and 2100 for MRAP with adapters. 395/85r20 MVT's...

I figured out my brake issue. All this driving has uncovered quiet a few leaks. I've ran into this before on older vehicles that sat parked for extended periods of time. I'm assuming, haven't looked yet, but the master cyl is rebuildable. I'm going to get some 10 lug rims and 395 tires...

Well. We deal with smaller diesels. Dodge Ford GM. So not sure what I'm going to need to work on this dude. Everything now day's is electronic. Where this is all mechanical. Which I absolutely love. I'm working on getting some A3 Wheels & 395 Tires for it now. When I get those in I'll...

Biggest issue for my uses I see that have to be remedied other than any mechanical leaks or failures is top speed and a winch. 55 is rough when we travel for events. 65 would be bearable and if my gear calculator is correct a 46" tire would give me 65 on the highway at 2500 rpms. Or somewhere...

There really hasn't been a whole lot done to it. The previous owner bought it a few years ago from the Fore Department and didnt drive it I have already went through 50 gallons of diesel driving it everywhere. She has developed a few fluid leaks and then this morning didnt have a whole lot of...

I was looking at the Stallion by sherpa. For 1000. Not priced bad at all. Be a bit before I buy anything for it. Just like doing my research first. Have two personal builds before it to finish. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

I'll look into the PTO setup. We have a PTO winch on a 48 CJ2A, it lacks power compared to modern electric winches. I've already downloaded the TM's. Pretty neat documents. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

It doesnt have a winch. So I would have to purchase one. I guess I should have made that question a little clearer. If you had to buy one. What would you purchase. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Will do. Pretty busy at the shop this week. Maybe next weekend. Quick question. A 10k lb PTO winch doesnt seem like it would rescue this heavy girl. What's most people using for a winch. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

So. According to that article I have a 1971 Kaiser M35A2. Interesting information. Doesn't really matter to me what year it is. Just need to find out what I have and then we can go from there. Its funny it says 1950 on the Title. I'm sure going from a Military vehicle to a civilian vehicle...

Well that would be interesting. I'm assuming anything is possible. Title says 1950. But who knows. I guess first is to figure out what I have. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Here she is in all her current glory. Not too many modifications, just that weird headache rack. Definately plan to buy the canopy. And replace the soft top with a original. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Looking for historical information on our newest addition. 1950 Kaiser Jeep M35A2. I know it started out some shade of green, and then was purchased some years back by a county fire department who spray painted everything White (URGH), so we will be stripping it down. We know the was changed...
