Doesn't look like I remember for early CJ5. However, I think it's the same concept, just a different spindle nut design. If you wipe off the grease, are there four slots in that round piece that should be the nut? If so, it just means a different socket for the nut. This is common on later...

I'm no M35 expert, but have been fooling with trucks, radios and emergency vehicles for more than 30 years. In my opinion, converting this truck to 12V is not a wise move, especially if it's an emergency vehicle. I want to help. But I want to help by encouraging the right thing, especially if...

Do you have the hub nut socket? The big 2 1/16" one? It's been 20 years since I messed with a CJ5, but from what I recall, look inside the hub and see the big hub nuts, they are about 2" OD and held in place with locking tabs on the washer that is sandwiched between the inner and out hub...

This is a front axle, right? With a steering knuckle? Am I wrong in thinking there's a universal joint attached to the other end of the shaft? Don't see how that's going to come out without removing the hub, and spindle. But then I don't really know the M38 that well and probably shouldn't...

Glad to hear you got it worked out. I would have posted, but have no experience with the 925 winch. But, just thinking about it, I think the winch is just like the front wheel drive, diff locks and other (sometimes) seldom used accesories, for which my policy is to always test periodically to...

I appreciate it too. That's the term my father taught me since I was a boy, and I like hearing it. He was a WWII vet, a vehicle mechanic in the Army, and he loved the MV's until he passed last year.

VSWR = Voltage Standing Wave Ratio VSWR is a good indicator of power coupling into the antenna, and with some antenna types, it can be loosely equated with antenna resonance. With these military antenna "systems", that's not exactly the case. These antennas are non-resonant antennas (except at...

At 3 ft, I would think that you should be hearing the transmitter no matter what antenna problems there may be. Probably even if you have burned up finals too. The AS 3900 should work fine. There may be some slight performance loss, but I bet you'd never notice it, for what you're likely...

Sounds like good advice. Wreckerman, I think his truck is a soft top. It does start and drive in the video. What more could you ask for? ;) Garret

jinxkat, I think I may have camped next to you at the GA rally? FWIW, I have in the past mounted both the VRC 64, AS-1729/MX-6707 and PRC-77 in a S-III Rover (not the Lightweight I had at the rally). In general, I concur with what has already been said. I think you have some good options...

Made it. Took 8 hours to go 300 miles, had to adapt and overcome after a blow-out in the mountains. Turned out that where I ended up on the side of the road the ground was pretty soft, and the jack just sunk on in... So, now I know how strong a 20mm ammo can and two LS454 radio speakers...
