    M151A2 Not rolling after sitting???

    I could have swore that parking brake liner was moving just fine...but yesterday I backed it waaaaaaaay out and WD40'd the heck out of it so I could rule it out and sure enough, that was the issue! lol I think once you know how a system works, you over think what the possible issue is. The...

    M151A2 Not rolling after sitting???

    I'm going to try that! So frustrating that rust can still effect a sealed system like that. My father in law had it sitting on rollers instead of rolling the actual jeep so the transmission never budged for all that time. :evil:

    M151A2 Not rolling after sitting???

    I'll have to see how much is in it. I'm planning on swapping all fluids this week, but its never had a serious leak (bottom is wet) and it was full when it was parked.

    74 A2...with a partial 12v conversion

    So I've learned this is in fact a titan replica. Doesn't scare me away, just worry about finding the right parts when I need them. Any idea about the wiring? Most of it looks good but it's hard for me to tell if the alternator/generator is wired correctly as well as lights/gauges. ran great...

    Quick intro. About to turn 30, native floridian that loves the woods! I started climbing trees, to jumping and cutting trail with bicycles to riding and racing quads to now riding a dual sport all over the state (and beyond). Outside of a couple chevy trucks, most of my off roading has had my...
