A lunette on the car hauler sounds like a good plan. You'll use it again. Or, mod the front bumper on White so that it will accept a tow bar, then we'll use it again.

Ok. You got me there. Congrats! I start looking for snatch blocks.

It's bad enough I have to come pull the deuce out with a CJ-5. If you keep buying bigger trucks I'm just gonna leave you stuck out there!

Lies!!!!! That Jeep's not stuck, it's just low slung. I was pulling the deuce!

Competition was too fierce to support the extra expense of complying with US Safety standards. These things have all the same safety equipment you would expect to find on a 1948 Massey Ferguson tractor.

Just add snatch blocks as necessary. Put enough snatch blocks on it and a little girl on an tricycle can pull out an LVS.

US and European MV's are fun, but if you want boring reliability, parts availability, utility, practicality, and enough off road capacity to go anywhere that you reasonably should for non-recreational purposes. Then you go with the current classic MV used by militaries, police, terrorists, and...

When I saw the first post I almost cried at the thought of another M37 cut up by somebody that didn't know what they were getting into. But this looks great! Outstanding work! I can't wait to see the finished product!

Great looking Jeep! You'll have a lot of fun with it.

Baradium, Most of my experience with synthetic rope is in the desert around Dubai and Abu Dhabi. I will defer to your direct experience for what happens in Alaska. I get Tourette's syndrome and cuss uncontrollably below 40 deg. I can't imagine what it would do to me or the rope. Where I'm...

Synthetic is great if you work with it every day, but requires more care and is much less durable than wire rope. I have wire rope that I have used for 20 years and is still in good condition, but I replace my synthetic cables every couple years or so. I have two in use now on jeeps that see...
