    Sprag replacement/adjustment- where do I even get them?

    Well, I have come to the conclusion that 4 wheel drive is just about worthless. Driving through mud pits and up snow piles is all well and good if you have the momentum, but sometimes I don't. Not to mention the suspension doesn't articulate and about halfway up a pile I lose my middle axle...

    anyone know if you can throw a Willys body on a TJ?

    my boss just got a (ech) TJ, and I'm looking for ways to make him cooler. I tried a bunch of research but could not find a single Willys body swap onto a late model Jeep. If I'm not mistaken CJ's on up were too large to use the early body without major mods, right? how much of an estimate...

    against all better judgement and the advice of many friends and family members, I went ahead with the help of my dad [:)] After reading "Servicing Split Rims" in issue 97 of Military Vehicles Magazine, I decided it was easily attemptable with the proper equipment, attention to detail, and...

    insulating material- where to buy in bulk?

    Hey all, I'm looking to buy a bulk load of insulating material- to do the underside of the hood, and the side panels for the engine. I think that will make a big difference not only in winter heat retention, but in noise reduction. Also, I want a bunch to make an insulating liner for the soft...

    I am about to order up a kit, and wanted to know a) if it really was worth it. WITH the winter cover over the radiator, what is the real world time before you see any heat in the cab? I want the NOS kit partly because it is a "correct" install, partly because I have found no other good...

    CUCV axle question

    hello all, I thought I was clear on the CUCV- that it had a 1 ton front and rear axle, the rear witha detroit. Now, I have noticed conflicting information in three different spots- the first being a standard catalog of 4 wheel drives stating the obvious, that the K30 had a full floating 1...

    our ranks are gone?

    just suggesting that we bring the ranks back based on posts. I liked that :burger: only, maybe break it down some more. Like, I've noticed mostly not a lot of members break 100. So, maybe break it up into smaller ranges- like 0-25 would be private, 26-50 would be private first class...

    differences in t-cases- are they really the same besides the

    Well, I ran into a slight roadblock in my airshift swap. I got the output cover off, and without even unbolting the transfer case itself. BUT, it turns out you need more than just the output cover. INside the sprag case there is a set of gears, in the air case there are two clutches. I got...
