Built a seat. I'm 6'8", so Jeeps are a little small for me. Used some old bus seats, and fitted seat around rear fender well. Gained about 2.5 inches in length room, raised about 2 in, and leaned seat back about 2 extra. I fit much better now. Seat bolts in using stock bolt holes, so I...

It's green! Daughter and I masked, light sanding, and painted, in about 6 hours. Still needs body work at some point, but looks so much better.

Replaced temp, fuel, and speedo gauges. Saving old ones, maybe they can be repaired. New speedo cable also. Radiator top tank is full of cracks, but core is good. Had local radiator shop swap a top tank from a bad 2A radiator onto the MB one, it's good now. Been driving a decent amount, Jeep...

Made a video of the engine install. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHvxJJkMGZY

So got the engine together. Replaced rod, main, and camshaft bearings. New standard piston rings and gaskets I did not replace anything else. Checked clearances and everything looked good. Cylinders were probably little oversized, but after honed looked nice. Valve seats and valves were...

working on it, LOL. I'm screwed. Only work done to motor was a head gasket. Whoever did that must have used a angle grinder on the block, it's wavy, with dips of .030 or more. Looks like a 5 year old worked on it. Pulled motor and sent to machine shop. Motor got decked, having valve...

Starting working on the MB. Brakes look good, but all the wheel cylinders are stuck, ordered those, master, and rubber lines. Lug nuts and studs need help, had left nuts on right studs, right on left, hubs swapped, studs spinning in hubs, just a mess. Not a biggie, plenty of parts from...

Found a Willys MB on craigslist, wasn't going to look at it, but did. I've been telling myself for years no more projects, and no more MV's. But.... if I sell a project, I can buy another one, right? So sold one of two 46 CJ2A's I had, and bought this instead! This all happened last year, so...

Should be the typical crowd for my crew. Actually bringing a MV, recently got a 1945 willys MB. Jacob, my son, will probably miss this one, he will be busy on a submarine.

Date has been set to June 6th-10th Park is in Laurel, IN. Prices for park are 20 first day, 15 second, 10 each day after. Not sure if they still have the group discount for Steelsoldiers, or Veterans discount Haspin is about 800 acres. Ride anywhere but campground. No electricity or...

Stretch44875 or Dennis. Don't remember a Greg.

Bringing a bunch of 9-20, 4 mud style 10-20, couple 11-20, some on rims, flaps, and 9-20 tubes. Price from free to 20 each. No new, most 50% or less.

And.... I'm fixing again. Noticed the steering was loose, pitman shaft is wore, so no I'm replacing a steering box.

Is it just a plate bolted on top, and open below on stock trucks?

Went a little overboard. Started off small, oil change, swap a couple decent 9-20's on the front. That didn't last... Installed a set of rails for 5th wheel hitch and goose neck adapter. Had to remove the welded in diamond plate between the crane bed rails, weld in couple crossmembers on the...

I sent the kids up on the Huey, I'll grab a ride next time!

I'm bringing a M1061, 14ft, 5ton rated flatbed, in good shape. 1500. Also nice 5th wheel plate and ramps, 150.

Looking forward to the show! I'll be there Thursday afternoon through Sat. Bringing m108, and have a m1061 for sale. And couple toys. And food for kip.

Nope, about halfway through they show driveshafts, through the middle of the 5th wheel plate.
