    M37 / M42 Rear Dual Wheel Project Completion w/Photos

    That is a top notch job. Well thought out and executed. I would definatly drive that till i was dust. I dont think anyone really understands an M37 and the joy and love of having one in the family until they spend a few weekends wheeling in the bush in one. Its one of the few vehicles you can...
