A. I vaguely recall reading that somewhere in the TM. I haven't had the chance to test the remaining wiring after removing the POs. I need to replace some wires due to age, wear, and mice. B. Thanks. Ill run out and do that now (I can always use an excuse to play with the jeep hahaha).

I do not know if the dash factory horn wiring is still in place. I have not reached that point in the project...yet. However the under-hood sections of the horn wiring are still there. On the battery question: I had read that online during my research but I am always weary of trying stuff I...

Well some more parts arrived but no spark plug wires yet...they are still in transit. Today I was actually off from work. I decided to do some riding on the motorbike vs spending all day working on the jeep. We are short handed at work so we get every 3rd weekend truly "off". Off has the...

That is actually a really good idea. The local parts store (yes our little county seat actually has a parts store hahaha) has those little guys on the front desk. Ill give it a shot if the vacuum plan fails. Also thanks! I love working on old Jeeps...it is very relaxing.

Thanks! I am going to see if the carb will flow fuel before I pull and attempt a rebuild...I doubt it will flow will but you never know.. I might get lucky. My carb is stamped Carter YF. I will take your advice and research all three carb options. If my carb doesn't work I will be open to...

Thanks for posting this thread. I am also looking for battery charging/maintaining options for my Jeep. I may end up copying this idea...only with the correct slave plug for my Jeep.

Thanks, Ill give it a shot on the straw. right now I am waiting on parts through arrive. I wish USPS had some sort of super secret mega fast shipping option.... I have having to wait for parts.

Today I filled the motor with oil and installed two new batteries. The jeep turned over under its own power for the first time since 2002. We have compression....now I need fuel and spark!!!

I walked outside to walk the dog and was giving the jeep a once over. I noticed that my water pump/fan pulley is setup for a single belt (generator/crack pullys are double belt). I guess the PO swapped H20 pump for the wrong model.

This afternoon I pulled the drivers seat, fuel tank, battery trays (dead bird surprise hidden below battery tray) and completed a good pressure spraying/cleaning of the entire "interior". I have continued to oil the cylinders and the motor is turning easier and easier as the day goes on...

I have been soaking the cylinders since Saturday morning using marvel mystery oil & pb blaster. When I purchased the jeep I was told that when the jeep was parked, the motor still turned freely (parked back in 2002). I didn't want to risk turning over the motor until I had a chance to soak the...

Well I finally snapped some pictures (windshield, hood, seats, redneck rollbar & tires have been removed for easy access to motor). Today I borrowed a pressure sprayer and must have cleaned out 14,000,000,000,000 pounds of mud/dirt/crap/etc from the underside of the jeep. Today I also drained...

Well guys I failed once again to snap pictures. I towed it back to my place this afternoon and began a basic teardown. removed tires/wheels (jeep on jackstands), hood, windshield, seats (almost), and the "custom" rollbar made by bubba I will try to snap some pictures tomorrow before I tear...

FAKE?!?!?!!? but....but...it's on the internet!! It can't be fake!!!

*PICS added* Just purchased my 2nd MV...M38A1 Finally got around to adding some pictures...see post 4. As we all know...pics or it didn't happen. Hey guys! I had been hunting for a new project/toy for a few months now. I finally found it. I just purchased my 2nd military vehicle, a locally...

welcome to the forum!

heck no dude! It's your rig...do with it what you want. Also I love the outcome so far!

congrats!!! Are we doing to get a video or a few pics of her back together again?

I had to go to rillo today for some training. Its still sitting there off exit 77 @ the lot on the N access road.

I stopped by and asked about it back in late 2011. IIRC they thought it was gold plated because they wanted an arm/leg for it.
