You have my condolences. Mine's a '71 made by the Jeep Division of American Motors and even yours truly ins't sure what to call it.

Watched the videos last night with a former army mechanic who said of the bouncing olive drab metal, "That's why you drop the equipment FIRST!"

Here's a shirt made for me by my volunteer rescue squad chief... [:)] Also attached are my ride at pick-up day on December 26 in Ohio and Opie's Folly under a blanket of late-winter snow.

Hi Martin, welcome aboard! There's a lot of information on the board about different member's insurance experiences, but you may be the first from the Show Me state. A search (top of the page just between the Saturn Surplus link and the title for this forum) on the word "insurance" in posts...

Cranetruck, I took the temp from the albeit inaccurate stock temperature gague. I'll definately need to follow through on your suggestions on getting a better means to measure the coolant temperature/testing the thermostat. WWW.Miltrucks.com indicated he'd changed the coolant just before I...

RDM - I'm five weeks from graduation and have been too tied up to send you a little green for the CDs or to play with the transfer case. I hope to find time in two weeks or so to do that, as i need to move sis-in-law #2 250 miles from Newport News, VA on the coast back to Roanoke. Need to...

LH7 advised me that if I were going to put one in that I should: 1) install it before adding the hot water cab heater, and 2) cut the hole for the washer nozzle as far away from the windshield and as close to the nose of the truck as possible so the spray will reach the upper part of the glass...

When I get down to painting my truck I'd like to sift through its history before applying the final coat. What methods have you used to remove paint by layer to reveal old unit markings and the like? Sandpaper/steel wool/other?

Oh goody! I finally get to catch up with Monster Man and post an on-topic attachment that contains Connie Rodd! (Ok, perhaps she's the PC 1990's version here, but still...) Here's some suggestions on wiper motor operations/maintenance.

Da nada. Glad to be of assistance. I see you're in College Park. I'm a child of the Beltway and grew up in McLean, VA and lived in Arlington near the Pentagon for a number of years before "headin' out to the country." I get enough looks in my deuce here in southwestern Virginia. In the...

E, I bought my shop van from Eric at www.Miltrucks.com, and he's a private collector who had a stable of deuces tagged as historic which he's now selling off. To quote him from a December 2004 e-mail, "In Ohio, these things are pretty easy to title - all of mine are tagged Historic vehicles...

Since I still have young(-ish) eyes and SHOULD be studying for nursing finals, here's a site with what appears to be good price on the suggested # 1873 bulbs for dashboard applications: http://www.specialtyoptical.com/catalog/micro_lamp_1873_1776294.htm They currently (3/30/05) have twenty at...

From what I've garnered from the Forum you have three options: 1) a Selectro locking hub on one of the rearmost wheels (best, but $$) 2) disconnecting your intraaxle driveshaft between the second and third axles (ok - you lose the ability to use 4x6 and 6x6 drive) 3) use a blowtorch to cut...

No personal experience, but this fellow has had two Deuce vs. Deer experiences: http://www.extremefirepower.com/adv.html Shall we say... Deuce 2, Deer 0

Recovery 4x4, Your patented "tree and 2 x 4 method" sounds great. I'll have to find something nice and heavy that I can chain my van box to (and see what kind of "pucker factor" results). Does anyone know what the van body weighs, and would this work for it, too?

I'm with a volunteer rescue squad and fire department and our brush truck (4x4 pick-up with 300 gal. tank) died last year. I'm halfheartedly trying to convince the chief to look into a deuce watertruck conversion due to our wildland-urban interface. Truth is, my deuce is lonely...

I'm not sure I'd take this onto the trails at Haspin, but I'd be glad to have it waiting for me at base camp at the end of the day...it IS a 6X6! http://www.robgray.com/index_wot.htm

RDM, The TROUBLESHOOTING MANUAL! D'oh! Good thing I'm not in a combat zone. Yes it is an air shift. I'll check out your suggestions and report back.

There are often times that I have to drive up a hill and need to leave the truck in a lower gear in order to make any progress without lugging the engine. Frequently the Hi-Low transfer case will (with accompaniment of loud noises) slip (?) into the neutral position, forcing me to...

Kaiserjeeps, I just read how you're working to help your friend and his son in their medical trials and tribulations. As we say in the South, "Bless your heart!" Unfortunately, having lived in Germany for eleven months in the early 1990's the Medical Establishment is afraid I might have...
