Well I finally had some time to work on that broken-off hex key that was stuck inside my PTO winch main gear set screw. I used some high pressure air coupled with picking at it with some tweezers. It eventually came out.
After that was removed, I got the winch all buttoned up.
Once my jeep...
Over the weekend I decided to try another attempt at breaking loose the PTO pipe plug. That failed. I tried heating it, welding a nut to it, and a few other things....nothing worked.
So I put that aside for now and decided to do some winch work.
I tore it all apart (or as apart as I could get...
*from last week*
I have been hunting a PTO winch setup for about 5 years now.
Last month I scored a Koenig 100 pto winch setup off facebook marketplace for a great price. Usually pto winches in my area run around 1K-1500, this one I picked up for $500. It came with the winch, koenig 51 pto, and...
Very clean installation. I like the LP light.
I am also running YOM license plates. I used the jerry can mounting location. It's not the prettiest but it works and comes off easily with two bolts.
I have been hunting a pto winch setup for about 5 years now. Everything I have found has either been on the far side of the country or priced way way too high. Well over the weekend I was randomly looking around facebook marketplace and came across a complete pto winch setup for a GREAT price...
since it has been a few months, what are you thoughts on the Vertronix pointless setup? How was the install?
I have been considering installing it on my Jeep.
Are you required to retro-fit turns signals to old vehicles (that didn't originally come with them) in Canada?
I saw this turn signal solution for classic vehicles over on the jay leno garage channel (& I'm considering it if I decide my M38A1 needs signals) There aren't wires and it's LED. The...
Do you have facebook? If so, there was a recent post in the "M35A2 deuce and a half" group explaining how to flip hubs with pictures.

Thanks for the
That MV magazine article was one of my research sources for this project. I used it to determine my coolant piping locations/coolant sources. I don't have a heater though
yes please. I was copying several coolant filter installs I read on the forum, but if there is a correct way to do it, them I'm all ears.
*** edit***
on edit, it looks like I should have made a loop between the coolant jacket & water pump then run a second loop (off that loop) for my filter)...
I finally got that pipe plug on my water pump broken loose and the last half of my coolant filter installed. The plug took a 5/8th 8pt socket attached to a 2ft breaker bar. I installed everything with copious amounts of anti-seize to avoid this issue in the future.
After I mounted everything, I...
my 5/8in 8 point socket arrived today from amazon. hopefully when I get home from work I'll be able to uninstall that stuck pipe plug from my water pump and finish my coolant filter install.
Yesterday we had some severe storms blow through with 1.5in hail and 60mph winds (we are forecasted to have severe storms all week...ugh)
The cargo cover on my truck took a beating and I think it's done. It had been on its last leg for a while and had a repair, on a repair, on a repair...that...
Nice truck! You don't see too many long boys running around these days.
Today I changed my oil filters and started my coolant filter install.
Unfortunately, one stubborn 3/4 npt pipe plug is ruining my weekend plans. the upper pipe plug came out without any issues but his big brother is...
I actually wish my truck was NA...it's one less thing I have to worry about breaking.
I've more or less decided that when my turbo dies I'm going to replace it with a normal exhaust setup and just run NA
