Well in that case you'll be ok - replacing the 24v system would be a major expense without a parts jeep. You might be alright buying it. The has tank is another definite plus - I had a nightmare when I put an Omix ada one in mine ( you can read that story on my blog if you want - the link is in...

Definitely - my first one paid for itself with its radiator, but wish I would have never sold it now! Also, a good gas tank is GOLD

They vary - I've seen them on epay as low as $25 and a high as $350 (I'm sure he didnt sell it though). I was just throwing out a guesstimate on some of the prices - I paid $375 for my wiring 12yrs ago - $500 to $575 is the current price on that for sure. The fuel sender at $65 it's current...

Yeah, Frank's right. There are really 3 seperate categories for purchasing here 1)early civilian (CJ), 2)military (M38a1), and 3) runaround or farm or mudding jeep (don't care what it is). 1 and 2 will price out about the same - around $1500 for a buildable jeep worth saving, and up to around...

Also, it's fairly easy to tell about body damage - you can see the back side of all the body panels, so just carefully inspect the inside of the tub for dents and rust holes coming from the outside - you will be able to see any major repair. Also check under the wheel wells for rear corner and...

Are they still $260 with that minimum purchase? Looks like a group buy

I like the bobbed dueces with the rear duals - makes me think of a 1.5 ton CCKW

It is possible - I have even seen kits (for an M416, I think) that added a jeep style a frame to beef up the pintle area. I see UPS and US Mail trucks doing it often onthe interstate. Not being a solid connection between the 2 trailers, there would be alot of movement between them - especially...

I've been looking at the local auctions since I bought my trailer- of course theres been none for sale around here! A side note on the surge brake shock - I remember reading a thread here about a 60 cj5 master cylinder being a direct replacement, and monroe (?) having a shock for it. If I...

Yeah, I like that military plug setup too. I guess the flat 4 pin would work the same. I've got a couple of old mil plugs - I'll have to try it out

Man I wish mine would have had a top - anybody know where to get bows and a green top?

So where does it go to? I haven't really looked at in a while, so I'm not sure now - I was thinking the brake pedal, not the e brake spring went to the skid plate. Page 277, Figure 158 of the TM looks like it goes to a tab type thing. Page 284, Figure 162 looks like it goes to the crossmember...

Yep - Midwest makes there own now - hat channels and all. Heard they were almost spot on. I wish they would have been making them 11 years ago when I bought my import crap. Midwest's floor is also within $75 of what I paid way back then!

Great! Now I have another project when I finish the 'A1. I was just thinking about buying bows and a tarp and putting an air mattress in it, but now I'm starting to get other ideas.

NOT anything by OMIX ADA! I doubt they got it right yet.

Goes to the skid plate, right? I think that's what I saw in the TM. I don't have my skidplate mounted because I haven't put mut e brake on yet, so I still have to do my brake spring too.

I did the masking tape thing on my tractor, but I might try the dishwashing detergent on my 'A1. I can't see spending money on the 3m stuff - everything they sell is $$$.

Definately buy something that is fairly complete - I've been buying parts for my 'A1 for the past 12 yrs - they are still out there, but getting more and more expensive (as with most HMVs). Same with the wiring - I paid $375 for a new harness 10 yrs ago with the turn signal harness built in -...

You can get an sf97 from GL for $60. It's kindof a bil of sale/ title. The way I understand it is you turn it in to the DMV when you register/title your trailer. I just looked it up on the GL website because I have some questions too. South Carolina doesn't require a title or tag, but if I sell...

Theres a thread about a '64 CJ5 master cylinder being a direct replacement and I think a Monroe (?) shock being a direct replacement. I'd try to find the post, but this phone isn't easy to use.
