    Deuce trip n/e KS to FL Orlando.

    I'll be happy to help and I've convinced the local Napa to stock 4 of the correct M44 wheel cylinders for me, so I can get them.

    Putting a Jeep in the bed!

    A Mule is bigger than it looks. It takes up every inch of an 8' longbed in a modern truck. I doubt you'd even get it in an M37 and if you did, it would hang beyond the tailgate.

    PS: M1101 Bouncing All Over and Cooking Thread

    Not always-sometimes an oval (or square, lol) tire will still balance ok. If they have what's called a "road force" machine, they can actually measure how round the tire is. A standard balancer, whether it's a 50 year old static balancer (can only correct for up and down imbalance) or a modern...

    Bidding on a truck that won't start even with a jump.

    Here's a great story: Have a friend who bought a deuce from GL. Wouldn't start, checked the plunger in the IP, it was stuck, hit the button and fired right off. And that's when I heard the god awful sound, like a dozen claw hammers in a dryer. Sounded a lot like a CUCV. Shattered cylinder...

    Economical turn signal flasher repair option

    OK, question. The factory relay on our trucks have 3 circuits: constant power in, flashing power out and ground. It appears the relay you spec'd (EG23) has 3 pins: a constant feed in, a trigger from presumably a turn signal switch and a flashing power output. See: Flasher Quick Reference...

    CARC paint supplier

    I know that guy. Matt Fox is his name, he owns quarter ton military jeep parts. I've bought from him before. I would just keep trying. He's always been reliable in my dealing with him

    Official 2014 SS Georgia Rally Multimedia SSGR14 thread

    Ok, this is the video that the GL representative shot. I really want to thank him and GL for releasing this footage to us at no cost. This is the only video that was shot of the convoy other than Robo McDuff's. Sorry this took so long-the GL guy was shooting in QuickTime, a format my video...

    CCKW arctic cab

    That's really cool. The truck looks great to be 70+ years old. Do you have a bed for it and is it steel, wood, composite, etc.?

    K-18 with junk in the trunk

    I have literally lost count of how many idiots own something of interest, be it an antique car, truck, vehicle, whatever; and it sits out in the open, deteriorating and there's no amount of money that will persuade them to get rid of them. There is a '68 GTX about half an hour from me-I've been...

    1943 GPW distance measurement needed

    I'd call that Saginaw. I do not think your column or wheel are in the wrong place. See my Jeep I shot 20 minutes ago: AAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Why won't my pics ever post right side up? Now I have to post them to photobucket and re-download them right side up, I...

    trouble searching

    That may be it. Not sure. One of the guys posted this on the M35A2 FB page: But that's definitely what I am after: replacing the stock, totally unreliable flasher with a better unit. I'll never buy another one again.

    trouble searching

    Ok, ya'll can start laughing now............................. I need help finding a thread. At some point in the quasi-recent past (12-24 months) someone (maybe more than one) had posted a thread where they had modified their factory M-series flasher relay with an off-the-shelf replacement...

    1943 GPW distance measurement needed

    From the top of the gas tank itself to the lowest point of the steering wheel is about 12 1/2". From the lowest point of the wheel to the top of the side tube of the seat frame looks to be about 11". Look at the hole where the column comes through the floor-the tube should be perpendicular to...

    8.3 suddenly started knocking

    If it was overhauled and truly has 1200 miles on it, there's no way I'd part such a truck out over a dead cylinder. Pull a valve cover, see what's going on. If it isn't apparent, pull the oil pan. One way or another, if the valves are opening and the injector is firing and it's still 70°...

    A3 to A2 Bearing Conversion

    It means "this side is outside of the area it's sealing" , i.e. the inside of the hub, where the bearings and grease are, are the inside. I hate to say this, but I can speak for Gimpy, R4x4 and I when I say: We know, we don't think. I've done a hundred of these. The rubber part faces...
