So I took my long awaited on SF-97 and GL bill of sale to my local DMV and was promptly told by the nitwits that they could not issue me a title using the SF-97 since it is a "locked" title. She seemed to be saying that GL needs to take an additional step and have a title showing GL's transfer...

OK folks, I need some input. Please read carefully, consider and vote. I will take the votes and comments into account but I reserve the right to make the final decision either way-the vote will not be binding. Last year, the '07 SS Ga. Rally was held in a State Park, in North Ga. and...

Saturday, June 21, 2008. A few of us are going to ride out to Marietta for the June Monthly Ga. MVPA meeting in Marietta. Probably a safe bet to get there around 1100 or Noon (I can't quite remember when people start showing up). Very informal, shoot the breeze in the parking lot, eat some...

I am rebuilding the rear window assy. In an M1009 and I have managed to lose the lock cylinder. Does someone have a spare lock cylinder that is keyed to the standard CUCV key code (73Y2 I believe) that they would like to sell? I will gladly pay market value and shipping. I'd rather give one...

I needed a Mule. Maccus said so............. So I kept hassling him to sell me his... and he finally said "I won't sell it, but I do want some new toys, so I will trade it to you for this.... and this.. and this... and this...." I said ok, what else was I supposed to do? So after we made...

I looked at our SS cross reference chart and I searched the web, g503.com and willysmjeeps.com and have not found a good crossover chart for civvy stuff like belts, hoses, brake stuff, bearings, seals, etc. for the M38A1/M170 Military jeeps. Does such a chart exist somewhere and if so, can...

Ok, in the approximately 8 million threads here on SS concerning wiper motors, the general consensus is overwhelming that the plastic bodied air powered wipers suck. Why do they suck more than the metal ones? Let me explain.... I have about half a dozen plastic ones and every single one of...

I have wanted a Jeep for a long time, but other toys got in the way.... A while back, Ron (73M819) told me of an M38 he knew of that was clean and a fair price. He had misplaced the # but said he would find it. Well, the other day I happened to ask him and he said he had found it. I called...

ok, apologies in advance. I know this has probably been covered at some point, but I got crosseyed reading all the towbar threads for the last 4 hours. So I am making the problem worse with another thread! Saturday I am going to buy a medium towbar, with feet and probably a set of axle...

I just couldn't let Mangus580 outdo me with his nifty mulch hauling thread......... Unfortunately mine doesn't have any cool John Deere tractors or kids in baby seats. First pictures are of me cleaning up the islands and hauling off the yard debris in preparation for the mulch and pinestraw...

OK, I am assuming the bolt head shouldn't come off like this................... And I was just tightening it with a 1/2" ratchet (no crazy impact wrench)...and "snap". Looks like I have to decide who's filter upgrade I want!! rofl

Well.....how embarrassing......................... :oops: Yesterday morning, about 0500 and in the dark, I hooked up the trailer to take it to a friend's shop for some torch and welding work......and after I fiddled with the trailer lights, trying to figure out why I only had one right...

I have bought all new gauges for my Deuce (for when it gets painted) and all I could find was the new style air pressure gauge (see pic below), with the 270°+ sweep. But my truck has the original style air pressure gauge (looks like a 120psi oil pressure gauge). Does anyone know where I can...

OK, I am sitting in my hotel room about to go to bed after the last day of the Aberdeen Rally and was about to post some pics and I though it would be neat of everyone posted their pics and video on one thread. Like a "catch all" thread. I am going to start a thread for the Aberdeen Rally pics...

Ok, as many of you know, I just pulled the heads off my multifuel for a leaking freeze plug. I need to know what the general opinion on retorquing the heads is........ My instruction sheet that came with the gaskets said to start at 110 ft. lbs, then 130, then 157, then 157 again. I let them...

So I was getting ready for a paint job before Aberdeen and I had just finished doing 2 pinion seals, transfer case input and output seals and a transmission output seals. I put it all back together and went for a test drive on a Friday night as I was taking a 50 mile trip the next day. About 5...

How many different styles are there for the Deuce headlight doors? I know there are the early style that have the hole for the electric horn and ther later ones don't, but it seems like I remember hearing people talk about there being 4 or 5 different styles. What's up?
