    Wiper arm upgrade

    Just did the wiper arm upgrade on my Deuce. Just thought I'd mention, the guy at NAPA said the 60-750 kit is on it's way out... dunno if there's gonna be a replacement for it. So if you're thinking about doing it, now would be the time! :D I haven't tried mine out yet, but just looking at it...

    Reparing vacuum wipers

    Hey all, Recently I've had a problem with one of my wipers. When you turn it on, it goes one direction, then stays there, won't go the other. So I delved into the problem, and found a solution for it. It's a problem with the valve at the end where the hoses attach. Unfortunately it's not...

    No turn signals or brake lights - STILL

    Ok, here's the situation. I have no turn signals or brake lights. It's not an uncommon problem I know, so I've read all the threads I can find here (and have started a couple of my own). Up to this point I have: A) Checked the ground and the wires at the flasher module, including re-mounting...

    Michigan deuce owners!

    Any of you have regular plates on your deuce (not antique?) If so how much do they cost? I have antique plates on mine right now but was considering getting rid of them to ease on the use restrictions. Mine's titled as a stake truck, if that makes any difference...

    Question on SF97's

    I'm just wondering about the timeline for getting it all handled. From the FAQ on the website, it says you must submit an inspection report to get an SF97. Am I correct in assuming that you can get the inspection done once you have purchased and picked up the item? In other words, you don't...

    Testing, cleaning and repairing light multiswitch

    So as promised earlier, I've documented my teardown, cleanup and rebuild of my light multiswitch from my deuce. Hope it's helpful, and if there are any errors or suggestions definitely let me know! I'm sure this isn't the beat-all-end-all, but it should be helpful...

    Prelim feeler - Deuce Stencils

    I don't want to generate too much hype yet, I'm just feeling something out for a friend of mine. I'm restoring The Alamo to original 1971 Vietnam-era markings. In doing so I've been dismayed to find a lack of stencil availability. Rick Larson at www.militarystencils.com seems to do a good job...

    Tank for air tools

    Wasn't sure whether to put this here or in hot-rodding, but since I'm actually trying NOT to modify my deuce I guess I'll put it here. :) Anyway I have a rig I want to build for running air tools off my deuce. I've heard several suggestions saying that the deuce has enough oomph in the system...

    Roadtrip checklist?

    Hola, I thought once upon a time there was a roadtrip checklist for the deuce in here somewhere? If not, can we start one? With being military and all, I'm gonna have mine all over the country before I'm done. I'd like to know what to watch out for. Brian

    My '67 CJ-5 project

    I know LH7 was interested, so I figured I'd post the photo album of my current ongoing frame-up restoration of a 1967 CJ-5. Still in the tear-down phase right now, but another day or two of good work and I'll be wirebrushing and sandblasting the bare frame. http://community.webshots.com/user/dajeep
