first question: how do I tell the difference between the military and civiliav Trans/transfer cases? reason I ask, is because since we have a pair there a a few differences I'm noticed and also, one of the transfer cases needs a few pieces. here's some photos: I suspect this is the military...

got the jeeps home on Saturday night. been busy offloading stuff and trying to sort out what goes where, but I've got some photos to share and quite a few questions. also, some of you guys that gave me a heads up on parts you had, you'll be getting emails soon. both the M38A1 AND the CJ5 need...

the weather in Atlanta has been crap, but it looks like we'll still be ok to head up and get the jeeps this weekend. planning on heading out Friday afternoon, and heading back Saturday once we load up. I'll try and take some photos for posterity's sake, if nothing else I'll get some photos...

I was trying to keep stuff from getting in the barrel, but you're right, that would work.

by the way, anyone have one of those auxiliary adapters for fuel cans? I had a few of them, and now I can't find any of them. that's what I get for leaving for 9 months and not messing with my generator until a week before a storm, but I need one to be able to use a fuel drum. I have the...

very happy. it's still humming along as we speak. I'm gonna shut her down tomorrow and switch back to grid power. there haven't been any power outages or snowfall, and not a whole lot of ice either. may as well save the fuel I have left for the next time. all in all, it was a great test...

the A/C isn't running, but the outside units are turning. I assume it's the Thermostat on "auto". they're not on anymore. :D stay warm dude.

yup. I just figured I'd give GA power a break. more importantly, if the power goes out, it won't affect me one bit. plus, I needed to give the Gennie a workout, and burn off some of this year-old fuel.

thanks Jerry. :) here's the original thread: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?95218-About-to-pick-up-my-MEP-003A

Those of you who remember how my 10k started out, and then how it ended up, remember how much work I put into it. one of you in particular remembers the phone calls it took to get it running right and the power output correct. Here's the latest update. I'm powering my entire house, with...

thanks for the heads up.

I dunno, but I'll keep that idea in my head for the CJ. Dad wants to do the M38A1 more or less correct, so I don't think I can convince him to lift it. he had me put step sides on a stock Dodge 2wd so he could get into it easier. I'm oinly 30 and I keep harassing him, telling him it's a b!tch...

I checked out your blog page, and we'll probably need some of the stuff you're getting rid of. When we get the jeeps back home, I'll take better photos and take stock of what we need. as long as this other CJ isn't a completely rusted out hole in the ground, we plan to fix it up as well, after...

it's kinda 50-50. God bless him for funding the project, but I'm the one building it for/with him. it's his jeep when it's all said and done. I'm totally fine with that, him and Mom live in the house behind mine and we share a driveway. besides built in babysitters for me and the wife, it'll...

what are the differences between the CJ5 engine and the M38A1 engine? I know the Milspec stuff is 24v, not 6 or 12, but this M38A1 doesn't have an engine, and the engines we're getting are CJ5 engines. I noticed while looking for gaskets, the Fel-pro full gasket sets have a note that says...

wheels. just realized that the wheels that are on the M38 aren't the milspec pizza-cutters. gonna have to look for a set of 5 of those. I'll ask the guy when we get up there, if not, time to start flexing the ol'google and taling to some of the vendors you all mentioned earlier.

will do. we're heading up there Sunday to get everything. gonna be a rough one - 6 hours up, 6 hours back, a couple hours on the ground in between.... I'm gonna be beat by the time we get back.

I chuckled reading that. yeah, you have a point. just get whatever he'll let us buy/have/take or whatever, then sort it all out later. that's what I did with our MEPs and it worked out well. I have a bunch of spare stuff hanging around now as a result.

The plot thickens. If you look at the photos on Ebay, there is another jeep in the barn, a blue CJ5. (it's one of the CJs "photobombing" the auction photos.) the seller says we can have it if we want it. so for $286, looks like I'm getting not one, but TWO jeeps.... so I'll likely be...

wow. if it's somehow still there, let me know. might be worth it despite shipping charges.
