time to update the post a bit. I have a new carb installed on the jeep 258 2 bbl manifold, as well as a HEI distributor. you can see in the corner of one pic i have taken out the old heater and am preping to put in a NOS military jeep heater. have not had time to fix the doors but will before...

send me a pm with all the info and price for the doors and the shackle mounts. Thanks again and may peace and blessings follow you and your house

that is my goal. going to call it desert mail call. going to use the numbers on the back at the top of the roof and on the sides of the the hood. going to be rapco tan. going to keep a full rear bumper but put shackles on the frame. the rear door will get a spare tire mount and i will find...

the m151 mutt doors are too short. the m151 has a lip at the floor board that the dj5 does not. i could put in a panel at the bottom to match but it would make it difficult to get into the jeep. its taller to the floor now . i had looked at that but the hmmwv doors are a closer fit due to the...

yep doors were one of the big problems i had. now i think i may have that solved. i have decided to keep it left hand drive so that makes the list shorter to finishing the project. i will be trying to find a 1/4 ton trailer when i get done but that is a while down the road. trying to decide...

here they are both front and rear door. good thinking i hadnt thought about mating the 2 to make one door.

here is a little cut and paste i did to see about how the hmmwv doors might look. as you can see they bottom will have to be altered however i think that is not going to be to hard.

my plan is to run 235-85 r16's they are tall and narrow they are aprox. 31.5 inches tall but only about 8 inches wide. the wheels and tires you see on the jeep now are ones i got off a ford 3/4 ton on the ranch just because the little tires looked odd. i do believe that the 235/85 are similar in...

Ok i might leave it right hand drive. that will save me some time anyway. does anyone know where i might get some hmmwv doors? i also would like to find a set of 5 m151 wheels they are 16 inch and would give it the correct look. i think they will hold the 235-85r16's even though they are narrow...

the doors that come on the dj5 are sliders and they run on a track at the top of the door. i took them off, cut off the tracks as well at the front metal pieces and the goal is to get soft doors. the stock doors are very heavy (over 90 pounds each) and rattle as well. not at all the look or...

this is the look or at least some what i am trying to achieve. it will be solid tan and i think i will call it desert mail call. it already has these same lines and with some work i think it will be a one of a kind that isnt odd or silly looking. What do you think?

i go to sonic and reach under the call box to the drive next to me. the first few times i did it they thought i drove off. Now they know its me. i am going to convert it because of the price of the right hand drive steering box. about twice what i can get a regular cj box for. one of my...

and by the way i plan to pull this in the back of a 923 for trips but my wife doesnt know that yet. Feel free to offer up your advice. this is a budget build but i want it to have a military look. i will be converting it over to left hand drive as well. the body is in good shape with the...

Well its not od green or tan (yet) but i picked this up super cheap. I have replaced all the breaks, switched to a 258 intake and exhaust manifold and a motorcraft 2100 carb, fixed the electrical, and lifted the rear and soon to lift the front. I will be switching it over to right hand drive...
