    Hey all, The oil leak isn't near as bad as I thought it was...Just a loose line by the filter housing, so It's fixed! The door latch did have a broken spring in it, I had to recruit a friend with slimmer arms to come take it apart for me, but a new latch is on order from TNJ Murray. The...

    Hey Glen! Already ahead of you on the oil. It sticks to the dipstick good and smells and, appears to be diesel free.. I thought about that when I first noticed the problem. It does look like it needs an oil change, but I think diesels need oil changes right after they are changed anyways, so I...

    Need advice for a 500 mile trip in a deuce.

    Oh I've made some good friends already! You guys have been very helpful! I think I'm just trying to jump the gun. I've wanted a deuce since I was 16 for whatever weird reason. I did have a 1947 CJ2A when I was 17, and I've graduated to a 75 CJ5 presently, and now I'm wanting to move on and...

    Need advice for a 500 mile trip in a deuce.

    Ah, Sorry, I was posting from my iPhone and it was being difficult. Yes it has a title and is tagged in Kansas. Im going to do some more research and quiz the owner about it a little more and go from there. If I can find one closer, and in better shape, for about the same price, I would...

    Need advice for a 500 mile trip in a deuce.

    Ahh I'm glad I asked for advice on here! I've got a lot more than I realized I would! Thanks for all the responses! I've worked on M35's before, but after reading a few posts it sounds like I haven't worked on them enough! I'm basically looking for something to fix up, so the no running thing...

    Need advice for a 500 mile trip in a deuce.

    Help me find one in Oklahoma! I can't find one that isnt being sold for way too much! The guy that wants to sell me his was asking $5500 for his but when it wouldn't start he went down to $1000. Seems like a pretty good deal but I'm worried about the distance. I'm a mechanic by trade so I'm not...

    Need advice for a 500 mile trip in a deuce.

    Hello all! I'm getting ready to buy a deuce that I found a real good deal on, but the only catch is that it's 550 miles away. My question is; should I haul it back, or drive it?? The owner hasn't started it in about a year and couldn't get it to start last week when he went to run it. That kinda...
