    55 Willys Wagon Expo build

    Brian, no, never did, wish I had. But I ended up moving out of state (Tx) and as I stood there and looked at a 18 wheeler of household goods, 5 cars to include 3 Jeeps and 10,000+ lbs of shop equipment to be moved I had no choice but to thin the herd. The 2 Jeep that were not powered were my...

    M101 CDN Army Trailer for sale Texas

    I sure hated to see it go, but I am not spending as much time on the trails as I used to. It was new unused surplus when I got it. Bunch of us got together and bought 40 of them. The company that was selling them for the CDN Army said that was all there was, anymore that might come up for...

    M101 CDN Army Trailer for sale Texas

    Just sold it, guy from Dallas drove down Sunday and picked it up, FYI it was a full price all cash sale. I sure hated to see it go, they are very hard to find in rust free shape and unmolested with mods that would never work, like spring overs...

    m101 Specification Plat

    No, prob at all. I have detailed and inspected the two and the M101 CDN is far superior to the M 416 US. That said the M 416 is a GREAT trailer and there are plenty that have seen wartime going back to WWII that are being pulled by guys today. They are overbuilt. I spent a lot of time in...

    m101 Specification Plat

    To the best of my knowledge the M101 CDN is not longer avail as the supply has been exhausted. Me and some guys bought 40 of them and they were $875 FOB Phoenix, AZ. The supplier in CDN said this might be his last big sale. His site is no longer up and he had been selling them for years. I...

    55 Willys Wagon Expo build

    Root, I can assure I have know that for many many years...that said, I could not find my can of PB Blaster so I just grabbed my WD and went at it....When I started looking I came to the conclusion that PB was a waste of money. More than likely I will either turn them on the first go or just cut...

    55 Willys Wagon Expo build

    I have given this much thought...matter of trade-offs. I am doing a complete drive line install: Rubicon trans/transfer case, Dynatrac D60 f/r axles and a Chevy V8. So it really becomes a matter of mating the frame to the body. The WW I have uses a 'C' channel frame. Fine if you are using a...

    Thanks Tumble, good thread. Today I began by hitting every nut/bolt/screw I could find with WD-40 to loosen them up.

    55 Willys Wagon Expo build

    Without going into a lengthy discussion the effect of Electro-mag on autos, suffice to say its negligible unless you are near ground zero with the engine running. GM builds a crate motor that is based upon the pre-65 FI unit that was common on Corvettes from '57 - '65. Its been reworked and...

    55 Willys Wagon Expo build

    I have clean and clear AZ title so no issues. In the case of many older cars and this is one, the frame has a VIN but the VINs are numbered sequentially by year. This would mean the same VINs across '46 - '65 or so I am told. The result is I have a state of Utah assigned VIN which is on the...

    55 Willys Wagon Expo build

    Santa brought a 55 WW to me on 26 Dec. Solid rig, near rust free, all original except a Chevy V8. Background(?): As best I can ascertain and piece together this was a fellows hunting rig on his ranch in Utah at day one ('09/'55). He died, and family shuffled it off at some juncture to a...

    Sleeping in the Tj

    Been there done that way too many times and never had a good nites rest. I have slept in it, on it, on the hood (to keep from freezing) sitting up in the seats and at 6'2" 225 lbs I finally gave up...bought a '06 LJ which is right at 10 FEET from tailgate to floor board on passenger side...
