    Batteries

    Yup, as long as the circuit is open, nothing other than time will drain either one.

    M38 engine ?

    Fire away, it may take a little longer than FB to get an answer, but the info here is usually real solid.

    M38 engine ?

    If it looks anything like this, it's a L134. Anything else would be incorrect.

    I may have a problem...

    I don't know how I missed this reply for so long, but I'm sorry I did. Dad was in from '67-'69, and while I don't know for certain if company vehicles would have been marked quite that way since he was in a designated specialty unit and I'd be surprised if they actually had a large allotment of...

    What have you done to your JEEP today

    A week's worth of evenings and a full day today and I can finally say I have all the lights working, correctly I might add, on the C. About 40' of new wire, and a couple dozen new connectors, it's good to go, and I didn't have to shell out $800 for a new harness. I will say I was quite amazed at...

    What have you done to your JEEP today

    I used the pretty, expandable mesh loom on the 53, it almost looks like old fabric loom lol and I like it better than tape.

    What have you done to your JEEP today

    Been working on refreshing the wiring on the C over the last few days. It was a rats nest of hacked wires, crumbling insulation and just outright broken wires. So, I finally ordered some wire and Packard connectors (I know, not the correct style) to start the process. A PO had put in a pull...

    Tires for M170

    Coker, Kaiserwillys, Summitt, Jegs, ArmyJeepParts, all carry the tires you'd be looking for to start with. There's more I'm sure, but this will get you started.

    I may have a problem...

    After almost a year, I finally got the charging system fixed. After doing a little troubleshooting over the weekend, I'd determined that the generator was faulty. I really didn't want to spend for a new one, spendy spending, but John up at Midwest hooked me up Monday and it arrived Tuesday! At...

    Slave cable part needed

    I wasn't lucky enough for that 🤣 mine was all in pieces!

    Slave cable part needed

    I searched for an eternity last night looking for those! Thanks for the link.

    Slave cable part needed

    IF you can track down a two pin plug assembly, it can be attached by soldering, not a difficult process other than getting the insert shoved into the housing once it's all finished up.

    Slave cable part needed

    I'm not seeing what I used at all anymore. So, you may end up having to use a newer single pin cable and snatch up the single to double pin converter.

    Slave cable part needed

    I just ran across a picture of the newer NATO plug with the two pin adapter for our Jeeps. Now, I've also built a set of jumpers for my 12V setup with a plug I found on ebay. It should be somewhere in the "What have you done to your Jeep" thread, I'll see if I can find rhe post number. And I'll...

    What have you done to your JEEP today

    Thanks! I guess I learned a little something from factory life lol. Not sure about the horn yet, parts are out there, whether or not I want to pay for them remains to be seen lol. I have a foot controlled push button on my '53 because that horn rod is froze inside the steering tube 🤣 so either...

    What have you done to your JEEP today

    Snagged a horn, no mounting bracket, so let's make one! Of course I realize after all this that I don't even have a horn rod in the column. 🤦‍♂️

    What have you done to your JEEP today

    Mocked up my spare tire carrier for the C today. Not once, but twice! I made the upper mounting tab the wrong direction which caused a bit of swearing on my end. But, I prevailed and now it's off to a buddy to laser cut the pattern and have it bent before it comes back to me for assembly and...

    I may have a problem...

    So this morning I finally decide to make a mock up of the spare tire carrier. I had a buddy send some pictures of one he has last fall but hadn't got around to even thinking about doing anything with it. Went pretty smooth, my template came together quite nicely, until........I noticed that I'd...

    1966 CJ-5 to M38A1 Clone Build

    For poops and giggles I had went to the wiki page for the Camp during my initial search, there's nothing really listed unit wise for the 50's, only the WWII era units.
