Things on the jeep are going to start moving along fairly quickly. I decided to pull $2-3K from my savings to get the jeep back on the road. My goal is to have everything done before I leave for the TX DPS academy in May. I sat down & made two lists. One list was "essential things the jeep...

agreed. you produced a more efficient system. be proud!

Well we were back at it today (and still are on scene). This brush fire kicked off around 1230pm. Currently we have 2 sheriff's offices (hall county SO (my dpt), and briscoe county SO) and 8 fire dpts on scene (memphis, turkey, silverton, quitaque, floydada, clarendon, flomont, and tx forest...

Would it be of any help to anyone if I did a separate thread outlining the step-by-step process on the fuel cans? Thank you sir! it is hard to beat fire engine red

Well here is the 1st finished product. My goal was so have a functional fuel can (with no rust) and if it ended up looking good in the process...then great...but looking fabulous wasn't a requirement. So purely function over form. The first can turned out well. It's obviously not show quality...

Here are some pictures of what I have now. The thick layer of primer is currently drying. I'll give it an hour or so and then apply the first layer of paint. I am using Rustoleum grey primer and will be using Rustoleum red semi-gloss for the final coat. #1 & #2: the fuel can when I started...

Two days ago I started bringing some fuel cans back to life. I am using the "vinegar bath" method to remove the external rust. I removed the first can today after 48hrs in the vinegar. The rust washed away with water. I hit it w/a wire wheel to remove any other loose paint, etc. I just laid...

I started bringing my M35A2 fuel cans back to life. I am using the "hit it w/a wire wheel and then soak in a tote full of vinegar" method to remove the loose paint (with the wire wheel) and the rust (with the vinegar bath). I'll let y'all know how it goes.

man that looks like an AWESOME trip!!!! I have always wanted to make it to a haspin rally

I hate to hear that the club is no longer active. I am looking for a military vehicle club to join which is active in the north, tx area. I have looked at lone-star mvpa but most of their events are focused around the central tx/austin area....which is a no-go for me since I live in the...

I drained some old fuel out of a co-workers corvette project (so they could add fresh fuel) and then chunked it in the M35A2 fuel tank. I love free fuel!

Is this group still active? I have been trying to get in contact via the facebook page and some youtube videos but I haven't seen any activity on the facebook page and have not had any reply from the youtube videos.

subscribing. Awesome thread. I got my license back in 2015 and haven't done anything with it.

subscribing. I LOVE AK!!! I drove the dalton & denali hwys back in 2015. I would LOVE to move up there one day. Y'all live in a paradise. I spotted this M35A2 at the (west) end of the Denali Hwy. Does it belong to anyone on here?

I used JB weld to repair my cracked fiberglass hard top. It is still holding well with no issues.

Great tip! That is something I forget to check during my maintenance. I need to check out my injector....I live up here in the TX panhandle so I actually use it during winter.

I have had several people PM me asking about getting plates. I am going to give y'all the contact info of the sign guy (w/his blessing). That way I don't have to get involved with SS classifieds, paying seller fees, acting as a middle-man, etc. When you contact Allen, if you specify "military...

**this is a cross post from the conversation section** I was hunting around for some vehicle delineators for my M35A2. For a vehicle of it's size it blends in especially well at night.....even more-so out here on our dark rural west tx roadways. With only two small red tail-lights I wanted...

I have two truck mats. I had to do some trimming. Ill snap a pic later this week.
