UPDATE: Due to not having the canvas for the trailer (Vendor fell behind and did not finish it until SEP) and the drive-train issues the week before I was supposed to leave for Dawson Creek BC, I decided to scrap the Alaska trip as the beast was untested for distance drives and trailer was to...

Just completed 1800 mile trip in my M37, 45 MPH was my average speed on a rebuilt drive-train .. Those flat gears in the transfer case let you know that anything faster than 50 is pushing the envelope :-D ..The unbalanced engine seems to be most happy with 45 MPH. Robust Beast, and after those...

My M37 had a Korean Era hot water heater installed by an army Motor Pool during its service in Korea .. even had a very nice bracket fabricated to support the heater .. bracket runs from High/Low/FWD Shift cover to the heater .. heater came out of either a deuce or M38 and was a professional...

Thank you all for the advice!!!! (Appreciate the edit DOGHEAD :-) ) Just what I needed to hear .. I wish I had a bigger towing vehicle as I would use a flat trailer :-? .. but my 4 Door Wrangler is limited to what it will safely tow/pull and the dolly option works best .. I looked at some other...

Can you do the work yourself? Several of us who own M37 live in the area .. I would be willing to advise and assist you if needed. I live in River Falls WI and just completed a complete rebuild of my 53 M37 to include the M101A1 trailer..

Took the beast out for its 1st long run last Sunday. At speeds over 30 MPH the transfer case was screaming away and vibrating like a tuning fork. Talked to John at Midwest and decided to purchase a new in the crate transfer case ($$$aua$$$). Finished install late Friday evening and due to...

@%@^#^$% Jules and I took our 1st long distance test run in the beast Sunday with the results that at any speed above 30-35 the vibration and noise from the transfer case were so bad, that the headache rack was vibrating like a tuning fork! :twisted: Pretty sure a gear, shaft or a bearing(s)...
