We made another batch of these battery boxes for John Emery. Contact him for price. These have a Stainless Steel hinge, two options for a battery hold down and the bottom is raised to help prevent moisture between bottom of battery and box. Made in USA!

About a month ago we purchased our first 3D printer. When I left the shop tonight I hit the "Go" button on this program. This is tooling for the tail light bucket depression that allows clearance for the wire harnesses coming out of the tail light. 9 hours and 33 min run time. It's my...
We've made an Otter track strand repair kit if anyone is interested. We've sold 2 kits so far and I wanted to let people know that they are available. Kits are around $1,500 depending on material prices.

Thought I'd share some pictures of our Fall M151 ride in WV. Overall the weather was very nice and we had an excellent time. Hats off to my friend Blake for planning the routes. We met up early after noon on 10/23 and headed back for home on the morning of 10/27.
I'm surprised this hasn't been posted already. This is coming up fast! We'll be there with M151 body panels. Who's going?

Picked this up last weekend down in VA. Left the house at 3:15 am and was home a little after 11 pm. Around 950 miles! Purchased from a friend of mine. Jeep runs and sounds excellent. Needs front floor and gas tank work but nothing major. This jeep is complete and hasn't been butchered...
Hey guys. Thought I would share this quick story. A friend of mine picked up an M211 this past weekend. The truck has been sitting for around 10 years. The gas tank had been removed by the previous owner and needs some TLC. My friend bought a gas tank for an outboard motorboat and an...
Hey guys. A friend of mine told me today about a M211 and M215 that are for sale at a salvage yard in VA. Asking price is $3,000 each. Both trucks have clear VA titles. Here is a link to the salvage yard:

The owner DOES NOT WANT TO PART THESE TRUCKS OUT! MUST...
New to me MB. Frame number puts it at a late '45. Engine number falls within the range of the frame so could be original to jeep. Body is shot. Engine turns over, going to see if it'll run. From the little bit of searching I did, the top appears to be for an M38. This is my first WWII...
There is a post on the 503 asking about a gap on the mid crossmember outer end repair part. I have an end piece that I'm reverse engineering in order to reproduce as part of our 151 body panels. I also have a NOS mid crossmember. I did a test fit to the crossmember, my A1 and A2 and they...
I just replaced the rear shocks on my A2 with Monroe part #66627. Around $35 each on Rock Auto. I went this route as I didn't want to buy a 30 plus year old NOS shocks. The last NOS lasted about a year.
Note: The compressed length is the same but the extended length of the Monroe is...
We're rolling out tomorrow morning and should arrive around noon. Back of truck is loaded with 151 body panels and I have 2 sets of full side panels strapped to the rear gate on the trailer. I have a customer meeting me at the event to pick up his parts. Then we'll hit the trails till Sunday...
We did around 150 miles today. It was 28 degrees when we left the house and warmed up to mid 60's. We missed the peak for the leaves but had a nice ride with no issues.
Thought I'd share some pictures. My friend and I took our A2's for a little ride down the parkway. We parked our tow vehicles in Rochelle, VA and proceeded about 40 miles to the start of the parkway. Went the entire length to Cherokee, NC, drove over to Gatlinburg, TN and then back up the...
I'm doing some PM work on my M151 A2 and have removed the power pack. After placing it in front of the Humvee I thought I'd share a picture. Looks tiny! For those that don't know, the Humvee replaced the 151 series 1/4 ton trucks. It must of been an extreme adjustment to the guys that went...
