What are the first things on the project list? Congrats on the acquisition.

Very cool. Any CJ with no rust is a rare find. Have you considered keeping the exterior the same? It might be a cool way to recognize its past.

That's about double the price that I am paying. Luckily, the 1009 does pretty good on fuel for an old truck as long as you keep the speed down.

Good looking truck. How are the fuel prices over there?

I am working on the shocks on my M38A1 and the front shock upper stud broke free from the bracket. I don't have a welder or know anybody that welds. If there is someone in the area that has a welder and can lend a hand, I would love to share some pizza, beer, and BS about MVs. If not, I can...

I will put out an APB for someone with a welder. Thanks for the advise.

I took my shocks off to repaint them because they were white and it bothered me greatly. In the process I broke the welds that hold the front shock stud to the bracket. I see you can by the whole bracket assembly for about $30 but I don't know how to replace it since it appears to be riveted to...

It looks like it is in nice shape. Put up some more pictures when you get a chance. You should also get some ramps so you can just drive her up into the bed of your truck.

No problem, let us know how it goes.

In that case you should manually manipulate the chock valve at the carb while someone else cranks the engine.

Did you make sure you have compression on the new engine?

I don't think they were put on the A1's because the lights are recessed into the grill, unlike the 38 where they protrude.

Looks like you found a real good project. All of those 24 volt parts are quite valuable and hard to find so it is a big bonus that yours still has all of them.

Is it possible to slow the generator for less output and more longevity?

That would be awesome. Send me a PM when you have your new one up and running.
