Did you check the brake drums?, All that mud and water...It is good to remove each drum and clean and service every part. Then check the air shift solenoid/cylinder. and spring/actuator (movement).

You should be both pleased and proud of that project. That truck IS "military" in your minds eye and intention. You know what?..It LOOKS military and (probably) behaves and peforms as such in some regards. So, go drive it, show it, Enjoy it. Post a detailed write up with pictures of the project.

Nice fitment of the siren kit. I have TWO in the 530C fire truck.(one has the intersection blaster). TWO in the M62 wrecker truck. (one of which is the so-me 17 effect unit). Great sounds.) One in the goat, two in the M54 Camper unit. And they ALL have the "lights to match". nice video from the...

Now that is neat work.

Well agreed, as that story was as hard follow as the actual topic.

Welcome to the site, hobby, friendship, events, and all that goes with it, That truck is SO lucky to have you as the new owner. You will "bond" together, as you have had an association (affinity) with it for all these years. And now...It's Finaly yours. THAT is some REAL feeling, I know it (as)...

When you say "rock solid pedal" do you mean the pedal is at the top of it's travel with no free play?. If so, some adjustment to the travel would allow the master cylinder to relieve pressure build up by (letting) the release flow port to uncover. Just a thought, as all else seems good?.

Welcome to the site hobby and friendships. Brave journey that one. So all the very best and of course post up the details and pictures of your (long and uneventful) trip. as you go.

The vehicle should be EASED forward and immediately CHOCKED, then proceed as above. (takes any weight off the gearing). Keep us informed.

So very very sad. Drivers (all) anywhere, in Anything, are so very vunerable. Reflect and take good care, Anywhere, in Anything.

There are road registered up and running tidy, and with all the kit, ot60 skotts here in the U.K. available. I was thinking of purchasing one, but after viewing and trying one, Formed the opinion they are NOT safe on our roads anyway. (due to the drivers restricted view). Great off road or on...

We are following your modifications with great interest. We are puzzled as to why the diesel for trucks is is a mandate when the diesel for cars is exactly the same stuff??

Retrace your steps, poke around, investigate, negotiate, and..Purchase!..(rescue)..Restore..

Something that should not be there?. Seriously though. Could that be the restrictor the oil dip stick (is fiddly to pass through) in the filler tube? just a thought.

Fantastic project well completed. Great pictures of progress too. There were about 20 of those Air force Jeeps in an American car parts yard over here many years ago. They were all actually near perfect but overly expensive. The owner of the yard used to state "no matter, they can just stand...

Yep, that's how. Just start an account on utube, And upload your videos there. Then you can post the link on this site. Easy. We look forward to seeing the videos.

Fantastic thread..great write up and really good pictures. Riveting reading..(must be(as I am 2 hours late getting to bed!)). If there was (and there should be?) a "best project of the month" then, that project would have certainly received my vote. On reflection how about starting a best...

Nice, and making full use of something usually stowed away. The ingenuity of members is always interesting and informative to observe.

I definitely second that. some (only) just short of genius in fact.

Wow..They sound a really straight forward un complicated and simple to run military vehicle. I just can not believe they turn things like that out for military use.
