Mike said: What! No Walter = no MKT and no Mike = dishwasher, er, I mean cook! How are we going to survive? What are we going to eat? Devilman's sacrificed chicken? I've attached a picture in case you don't remeber what that was like! Damm. Mike. you have to come!

Yes. I think Florida inspects all out of state vehicles before issuing a Fla registration. They inspected mine when I moved back here. But you can call any Fla DMV office and find out. If it's too difficult to bring the vehicle her then they might accept an inspection and statement from your...

Former military vehicles fall into a gray area. They're built similarly to commercial vehicles and certain big enough to qualify as one. However they were never designed for or intended for commercial use so strickly speaking they aren't and never were commercial vehicles (IMO). The fact, that...

Nice find! It looks like it's in very good condition and you even got the hard to find fording kit. Don't try to drive it routinely with the fording kit connected, the carb isn't properly adjusted for it. There should a standard air cleaner top stored somewhere in the vehicle that replaces to...

When I was living in the People's Republic of California a friend of mine bought a used car. But every time that he used the defroster in it he got so dizzy that he literally couldn't see straight. We finally took the defroster system apart and found three joints of Mary Jane in the defroster...

:funny: Great! Count me in. I'm looking forward to it. Also headed to PP! I have a new 4x4 truck and I'll be better prepared this year. I recently picked up a '66 jeep and I'll bring it along IF I can beg, borrow or steal a trailer. I have plans this weekend but I'll try to break away and...

A friend of mine bought a surplus deal that included several military vehicle (HUMMERs and 5-tons) simulators. Included in it were simulated radios including simulated junction/control boxes and a bunch of H250 style handsets. Most of this items look like the military items but are very...

Hello Swamper, I'm two miles N of UCF. I have a m37 and I OWN an M101A1 and have the singed over title but to PO is making excuses for me not to pick it up! Lots of active members in this area and we have some good togethers.

No, junkyards started disappearing long before the high scrap prices. Zoning laws, insurance regulations, EPA restrictions and "improvements" such as Lady Bird Johnson's Beautify America campaign have been killing them off for years. In the part of the country where I grew up we used to have a...

PS: I was looking at my CJ service manual last night and it points out the two shift levers for the x-fer case are different if you have a T-98. I THINK I remember someone saying that there are issues with the standard levers hitting the dash board and/or being too hard to reach when used...

FYI. I've heard that Jeep built some militarized versions of the CJ-5 that were called CJ-5Ms during the 60s or 70s. I wonder if those may have come with the T-98?

I have a '66 CJ5 that came stock with the T-98. (Special Oder BTW). It's a great Transmission for a Jeep! I love the low-low first gear! (6.28 IIRC) Coupled with the 2.46 X-fer case and 5.38 gears and it CRAWLS but will go anywhere! But the floor pan is very different since the transmission is...

Where are you in Florida? If you're talking about the self valcanizing tape like that that's used inside fuel tanks and other places where things MUST be sealed, you can get it surplus at SkyCraft in Orlando. Their stock comes and goes so YMMV.

I can head out there later Friday. Looking forward to it!

Howling like that can be a sign of worn gears or too much play in them. Adjusting gears is a complicated business and you need to get a knowledgable and experienced person to do it and not just some grease monkey! But I would check the diffy fluid level ASAP! In fact if you don't know how long...

My windows and doors work well and I haven't done anything to them. I think if you clean the old oil and grease out of yours and then relube them, all will be well. If it's not then check for rust or anything bent of damaged. I have seen people use locking door handles off of post office jeeps...

That's easy. Too many!

Unfortunately this wasn't a "Freak Accident". It was entirely predictable. If I was the owner of a park like this I would refuse to allow anyone to do their own towing due to liability concerns unless they could some how provide proof of their competence AND that their equipment was adequate for...
