    What have you done to your JEEP today

    I finally got a set of doors today! I've had door frames for awhile now but had never ordered canvas for them. I ran across a post on one the FB A1 pages last weekend and scored a great deal on complete doors and side curtains.

    John Deere got in the mix in the late 30's, I'd never run across anything like these. MK I & MK II versions of an armored tractor. MK II This was an interesting snow tractor. Here's the tug And this Cushman and hand cart, owner was in his 80's, and rode in on it.

    Friend has a lawn care business on the side lol. I couldn't afford a trailer like that, let alone a truck to pull it! The truck is another buddy's, an '85 king cab squarebody on an '02 2500 chassis.

    I know the gentleman selling them was from Iowa as well. It was stuff from his fathers collection as I recall him telling it.

    What have you done to your JEEP today

    I realized I hadn't posted anything about the MVPA convention last month. I got both of my A1s up there, with the help of some good friends, we also got to do a shakedown run on the truck doing the work. It passed with flying colors. I snagged up a few parts over the three day fun-fest. Got...

    What have you done to your JEEP today

    Heck, from what I've noticed, finding the ammo racks is the hard part! I got tired of waiting for a spare carrier to show itself, so I just made one lol.

    What have you done to your JEEP today

    Thank-you! And as for incomplete, I'm trying to get the logistics figured out to take my 52 as well, it's definitely rough, and not complete. Mostly missing the 106! 🤣

    Thanks, you'd reconsider that if you were to see it close up 🤣

    What have you done to your JEEP today

    I'm condensing again lol. The MVPA convention is coming up in a couple of weeks and I'm within an hour, so I'm going one way or the other. That being said, I decided maybe now was a good time to finally get some color laid down on the '53. A couple weeks ago I started the process of tearing...

    What have you done to your JEEP today

    If the hooks had been taken off before civvy life, not much of a choice there. And the part about undoing someone else's work....no truer words have been spoke! 🤣 This was what I dealt with! I don't recall if I've posted this pic before, but I couldn't believe how thick it was! They'd made an...

    What have you done to your JEEP today

    First off, thanks! Secondly, my guess is going to lean towards its wrinkled because of being pulled from the center. As you can see by my picture, it's no longer straight, or even close lol! It's not really rough or cut bad, it's wrinkled from the bowing is all. It does have chew marks on the...

    Thanks! I'm getting pretty good at making junk look like garbage! 🤣

    What have you done to your JEEP today

    Pintle cleaned, painted and installed. Next up, exhaust. Ripped off the CJ appearing system, ordered midpipe and muffler and failed to check the downpipe. It was in good shape with the exception of the missing flange which I completely overlooked. Those of you with keen eyes will see what I...

    Not a half bad idea there, other than making it stick out more, there's no reason it shouldn't work.

    What have you done to your JEEP today

    Bumperettes are on, lift shackles on and the taillights are no longer yellow! Hammered out some wrinkles and filled some of the extra holes. I have a buddy that will be sending me a pintle hitch soon, so that will wrap up work on the tail once that's on. I can tell there's still a bow to...

    What have you done to your JEEP today

    Thanks, I put in a few years at a weld shop lol. At least I learned something while I was there other than how to hold a broom and look busy!

    What have you done to your JEEP today

    How about what I've done to my Jeep in the last week? Way too much to write now, so I'll sum up lol. Went to replace a damaged bumperette on the '52C and ended up putting in a whole new crossmember! Somewhere along the way, this old horse backed into something way more stout than it, buckling...

    What have you done to your JEEP today

    After almost six months, I finally pulled the voltage regulator out last week, popped the top off and found this: Guess I can understand why the charging system wasn't functioning correctly now. Ordered a new one, got it in this evening, and wouldn't ya know it, it finally has more than 23...
