thank you sir! I am going to attempt to build a similar design for my M35A2. thanks for the inspiration/design idea....I doubt I could have thought of that on my own.

I am researching installing some gauges in my M35A2. The issue I am finding is that I can't find a mounting location I like (the pictures I have seen look a bit awkwardly installed and don't really blend in with the vehicle). Has anyone on this forum ever looked into running a marine MFD as...

This console idea is PERFECT for what I am looking to do. I absolutely LOVE it!!! How "deep" is the console from front to back? It is difficult to tell in the pictures (it looks close to 8-10in).

I am getting my old M35A2 back next month. I sold my M35 to my parents back in 2013 (They borrowed it for a parade and fell in love with it). They called me earlier this week and asked if I wanted it back (apparently they are tired of spending the money for monthly storage). Of course I said...

I bolted the wheels/tires to my jeep and rolled her forward a few feet so I could fit my daily ride (97 expedition) under my carport. We are forecasted for baseball sized hail and 5in of rain today...fun fun. *sarcasm* The only good thing is that my jeep looks GREAT with the painted wheels...

I sat in mine & made engine noises....while dreaming of warmer weather. I am ready to start working on my rig again...

hahaha yea. Back then I was not as confident in tearing down & rebuilding my toys. Yes, the housing is plastic. I have had good luck with this paint on my plastic motorbike fairings. I don't see how my end results would be any different on this plastic (both are exposed to sunlight...

I have noticed that used white golights are usually cheaper and more common on ebay. If you want to save some money vs buying a new black model for your MV/Jeep/etc...there is hope!!! Several years ago I scored a killer deal on a new golight from west-marine (had some gift cards)...

On my project jeep (not the jeep I bought for parts) I am in the same boat...but like you, I don't mind throwing money at it. I am enjoying working/tinkering on a piece of history. It is not about the money..it is about the journey/build. I can't wait to see pictures of your rig.

Thanks for the replies guys. I felt (and still feel) pretty stupid after my earlier poor decision. I am glad to hear that I am not the only person on this boat hahaha.

So I got the new rig home and wow... the idiom "a fool and his money are soon parted" holds true. I should have walked away from the deal but I had Jeep on the brain. I am so angry with myself for not seeing it for what it was. As I ran through town, I stopped by the coin-op car wash place...

that one heck of a find!!! Kudos on a beautiful Jeep!!

Well big news on the project front. I scored a parts 1954 M38A1 off craigslist. It looks mostly complete from the pictures which is super exciting. I am hoping that having access to all the various parts including those small bits/pieces will save me some money in the long run vs having to buy...

welcome to the brotherhood

Progress has been slow these past few weeks. I spend one week working a murder trial, the next week was spent working a major hazmat spill on one of our major highways. I am just now getting caught up...hopefully I will have some free time this weekend. I did catch a good deal on a set of top...

So I have been super busy this week. My brake job is on hold until next week. I am stuck working a jury trial all this week. I have been using what little time I have to knock out a quick wheel repaint. Here is an example of my wheels at the start and the end results. So far I have finished...

thanks! I was pretty excited about the price. Up here in the panhandle fuel cans go for between $40/$50 each....which is CRAZY!!!

update for today. I installed my new (used) bumper. The bumper came primer brown on one side and OD on the other. I painted and knocked out the install thursday afternoon. I ran into a few issues during the install. The PO had installed a winch plate (and I am assuming a winch) which over...

Update for the day: I installed my top bow brackets. I ran over them w/a wire wheel and painted before installation due to some rust. I also finally finished up the rear axle (brakes and new pinion seal). I also knocked out the front pass side brakes. All I have left is the front drivers side...

Well I finally had some time to work on the jeep. I had only an hour or so between getting home from work and the approaching rain. I was able to get the passenger rear wheel cylinder, brake shoes, and brake retainers installed. I had to to re-use the old hardware w/the new shoes because the new...
