I've been out of town for about a month so my jeep work had been on hold. Well I'm finally back in town and was able to get some work and driving time on the jeep. First I tackled a few jobs I've had pending for my shop. I've been using a folding table as a makeshift workbench...it worked...

Summit racing is also a good option (it's where I bought my NDTs). they also have free shipping on orders over $100.

Are you going to try and find a horn rod or just wire it up to a push-button switch? Also nice fab work! it turned out GREAT

Got some more work and driving done today. I had plans on installing some parts I had coming in from Kaiser Willys but thanks to fedex it's delayed.....so thanks for that, fedex. Earlier today I knocked out a few to-do things I had pending while waiting for my package to arrive. I started by...

Thanks! He loves the jeep. He is 1.5yr old so can't quite say "Willys" just yet so he calls it "lilly". Jeep was an ex-army jeep. After it was sold by the gov't, it was used as a brush truck by our local VFD (back in the 80s). They eventually sold it to a farmer who used it as a toy until...

remember kids, learning is fun

ebay has them if you haven't found them. The last post was from 2016 so hopefully you have found them by now https://www.ebay.com/itm/274399244729?hash=item3fe37831b9:g:eDcAAOSwj3Ne6QK8

that's a nice treasure trove of awesome parts! *jealousy intensifies*

How do you like the performance of the pertronix unit? I've been seriously considering moving over from points.

Well I've been posting more over in the "what did you do to your jeep today" thread instead of this original thread. After more work, new engine, sweat, frustration, etc it's back running and driving. I'm still fine-tuning a few issues here and there but it starts (mostly) reliably. The family...

If you want a PTO winch, it's much much cheaper to find a koenig (which is I what I did) vs the ramsey 50...those ramsey 50s are worth some SERIOUS $$$

I'm waiting on parts to arrive so I can tear into the jeep this weekend. The wife/kids are out of town for a week or so....so I have some time to really work on the jeep w/out worrying about neglecting family time. I ordered another new headlight (I think I may have some grounding issues...

This video has great how-to about 950ys carb float adjustment. 9/64s

I bought my truck from boyce for much of the same reasons. I wanted a truck that had been gone through and was ready to go. I wanted a vehicle I could spend time enjoying vs working on for months and months). It was a great truck. I owned it from 2010-2021 and it never gave my any major issues...

ebay usually has a bunch listed for both new and used mounts. new: https://www.ebay.com/itm/393124706896?hash=item5b880efa50:g:tPwAAOSw5iJgIA~W

Pics of this setup aren't too common. However, I have a few in my pics folder. Here are a few I have saved from some earlier research into this mount.

nice find. I've been hunting a hard top for my M38A1 for a while now...but they are priced fairly high in my area (texas)

I wrapped my exhaust for the exact same reason (concerned with the extreme exhaust heat toasting my brake fluid). When I did the first brake fluid flush I noticed significant discoloration of the front brake fluid (DOT5) vs my rear fluid which was still looking good. I used a wrap off Amazon...

I had the chance to give the jeep another drive over the weekend. Unfortunately, even with the valves set correctly, zero vacuum leaks, carb re-cleaned and checked, and the carb float set pretty close to the correct height of 9/64ths, I'm still fouling plugs (carbon fouling). I've also messed...

Friday afternoon a buddy came by and we tore into the jeep to fix a few issues (hard start, flooding, funky idle, and a few odds and ends). We re-adjusted the valves (correctly this time) which brought everything back into spec. Originally we adjusted them hot, however the sticker right there on...
