Good point on the light. That is another reason why I put it where it is. It will be no problem to tap into one of the wires to the running lights and get a light on it. There was a thread sometime back that mentioned remote lighting for license plates as well. I talked with a State officer...

Here is another option for mounting you license plate. Looked at the option with the Simpson strong tie. Was looking at the workbench and there were a couple of hinges off a screen door. They were aluminum, in keeping with the aluminum body option. I first drilled two holes in the license...

1942 GPW have 11 1/2 inches from the bottom of wheel to the seat pan. Keep in mind the average size soldier back then was 5'8" and 145 pounds. If you don't have an original tub, if it is a CJ2A, you might think about the old jeepers trick of sectioning out about 6 inches of the wheel well and...

Well it was one of those days when the bids were placed and everyone else was looking the other way. I wanted one. Bid on the one you want, but hedge your bets with a couple of other bids in case you don't get the nicer one, and then you get them all. Will get the others licensed and trade...

The stitching was coming off on the leading edge of my tan soft top too. Pulled the top, took it to a local upholstery shop, he ran a couple of lines in the same holes, 25 bucks, and it works great. I left the top off for a few days. What good is it to have a convertible if you can't take the...

Thank you Maxtor. Will try to use that angle if the people can't get me fixed up in normal channels. It appears that we need someone to work with that actually knows how the system works when they have something out of the ordinary. In WA, if there are multiples of the same vin number, it...

Have run into a licensing glitch here in WA. I got 3 of the M1102 trailers awhile back. Getting the SF97 from GL was no problem. I went to our county license office and two of the trailers went through, with no problem. One of the 1102's and an M101A1 came back as having the same serial...

Merry Christmas.

You might also look at "At the Front".. They make some really good reproduction uniforms. Depends on your size, but there are quite a few original pieces still to be had from the WW2, Korea time period. I am to the point that it is probably better to get a reproduction. You can get a uniform...

Wolfen, it is sometimes fun and your truck would make a great addition to the fleet.

The period uniforms is one of the things that we do. We have been doing historical displays as a group for more than 20 years. This run is one that we do for us and not for the public. We try to be as accurate as safety allows. We usually have some time for shooting the Garands, carbines...

Scott, here are the proposed dates of things that I know of. 21 March? OFM military show and sale, If we can get a turnout the Museum would like to have us. 11 April Veterans of the Battle of the Bulge luncheon. You get to spend a couple hours with some really neat folks, that are...

Someone had a nice paint budget for that truck. What a great looking rig. Here was my contribution for the Christmas parade. 1984 M 923

Heaven help us if we drop a 5T into that ditch. They had timbers across the bridges and some of them were spaced just far enough apart that a jeep threaded the needle to stay on them. I fell into the middle on one. Fortunately they had pan decking underneath, but it was a pretty bumpy ride to...

We had our annual Battle of the Bulge run yesterday. This run takes place on the logging roads up out of Shelton, WA in the Olympic mountains. It was commemorating the 70th anniversary of that battle. We usually camp out but the weather was so nasty that we decided to pack up and head back...

repaired the drivers door handle, which was failing to engage the door mechanism, so you couldn't open from the outside. Tech advice from another thread on this subject. It was very good advice and the repair went smoothly.

Thank you for the excellent pictures in this thread. The repair did not take long, but I did not anticipate taking the door handle assembly out of the inside too. Once it was figured out that it all came out together, it did not take five minutes to do the repair outlined in the pictures...

Found a nick in one of the extension cords and think that it was causing a bit of a short, causing the breaker on the converter to trip. The converter was pretty warm too. I ended up propping the converter up for more cooling and disconnected the big wreath on the front, that seemed to cool...
