    No more MV's, whoops, 45 willys MB

    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...

    Still here... Fixing/modding the M108 again.

    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...

    You can tow anything with a M108....

    Had to use the crane to move concrete pads, and tractor to level some stone, so I hooked them together and headed to town! Let the tractor idle while being towed, so gearbox is lubed. Did about 35mph, didn't want to get going too fast. Got some looks, even stopped at the gas station to put 5...

    Moving TV with MV

    Had to move a heavy 36 in TV upstairs, and didn't feel like wrestling it up our narrow stairway. M108 to the rescue!

    Military repowered M108's?

    I found a military document, has a lot of interesting vechiles in it. Anyways, it has truck labeled M108A2, 2 1/2 ton wrecker/crane, and under the vehicle characteristics it says multifuel. Look on page 95 on the following link. http://www.dtic.mil/cgi-bin/GetTRDoc?AD=AD0881479

    Noisy transmision solved

    Was doing some heavy hauling with the M35 and trailer when the transmission started making noise. It started in 5th, and by the time I was done the only quiet gear was 4th. Lot of fun driving 30,000lbs with 4th high and 4th low. So finally pulled truck in garage to tear it down. Everything...

    Light switch modification

    I've never been happy with the 3 lever switches. Seems like they like to pop the circuit breaker at the worst times, leaving me without lights. Usually when I am towing at night on an interstate with the flashers on. Not a fun time. I've tried about 4 switches so far and they still pop, no...

    Warning on dogbone, torque rod failure.

    Recently had a dogbone (torque rod) come off the lower left rear axle while driving. This happened on a level stretch of road, about 45 mph. Truck acted like I blew a front tire, and headed straight for the ditch. I was able to control it, and pulled off. Now for the scary part. If the rod...

    M35 brakes, ok to great

    Was driving the M108 the other day and noticed the brakes were getting soft. Did a hard braking stop and took way too long to stop. Knew the master cylinder was not returning all the way, causing some of the issue. I had rebuilt it, but it wasn't the best to start with. The airpack also was...
