There was another member here having the same issue with new after market china bulbs, not sure what brand you are using. Best to try and find USGI bulbs.

There is a petcock with a 3/16 line that runs about a foot along the oil pan that is the coolant drain line.

Looks good Tom, you can get the coolant with the "pink" cap at NAPA, I always try it with water first just in case.

Welcome back, good job.

A standard jeep cylinder mounts in the same place, MB-GPW-cj-2A etc may be able to retro fit one. It's a single circuit cylinder but you can put a Y in there to get by.

I cast the first official vote for the ARK, appreciate the work of the chaplain, good job sir.

Thanks Frenchman, if were not for you the winch would probably still be incomplete, I do have the splash shield just need to install it. The pintle hitch is there.

nf6x was talking about mil/civ interface and the comments on the video had pin out information I thought may be helpful.

Good job Mark, glad to see you are making progress.

Good progress, carb looks nice as well. I purchased a new wiring harness from Vintage Wiring of Maine, very nice harness. Amazing the pile of parts that were added on, glad to see you are making it right again.

You can retain the 24v system and still use the 12v coil, just run the ignition/coil hot wire to a 24-12 converter. I don't think the coil draws many amps so one could be had pretty cheap. By doing this you won't place an unbalanced load on your batteries.

Thanks Tom, I was torn between re building the hard top or just installing the new door kit. The hard top need several pieces of glass and new glass channels, would have been expensive.

The only modification is to the top bows, the stud is removed on the forward bow where the bow to windshield rod mounts, it's replaced with a 5/16 bolt and a round spacer 3/4 diameter, 5/8 wide. The forward fixed window is slid in the channel on the outer edge of the windshield frame, just...

Project of the day was to install a new door kit I purchased a while back. As with any goat project the install was straight forward but a lot of fit trial and error type work, measure twice drill once. The holes to be drilled are for the hinge brackets, attached to the bow uprights, the hinge...
