I have a Kaymar swing away carrier on my 80. I used the stock carrier on my old FJ40 for about 13 years. IMO there really isn't a better option for carrying a tire if you don't want (or can't have) it under the vehicle. Inside sucks, roof top mount sucks, mount on the hood (ala Series LR) also...

Stainless hinge I used a stainless hinge on the front to open like a clamshell. It was not designed for instant removal, but it can be removed in a few minutes.

There are a number of parts houses that supply parts for vintage Willys, I would try them. I doubt that the tailgate chains are any different than those on my '47 CJ2A... M

I simple installed an FJ60 FF rear end in my 60. The stock 'C' clip semi floating rear axles are not a common point of failure in FJ60s. I got my FF rear cheap and had plans to nstall a factory e-locker from an 80 in the rear, so I swapped the FF rear axle into the 60 when we were doing the OME...

I have the Fiamma levelers, and they work well. Very strong and simple - no moving parts. M

Reliable, yes. Powerful?, not for what you describe. Lack of power is the only issue. On flat ground you will be OK. You'll feel the lack of power on the hills. Larger input shaft and better adaptability to an H55F. The OME stuff is as good as it gets for leaf spring suspension - and I...

If you bought using a credit card, contact your CC company and cancel the transaction. The prick will be docked for the purchase price. M

I am considering the Honda EU2000i genset to charge a pair of 6V AGMs in my trailer, which will run an inverter, fridge, lights. The Honda can be bought for abot $1200 USD, and is fairly quiet. Starting from stratch, would you buy the same again? Which smart charger are you using? M

Dekas are good batteries, quality product and less than premium batteries like the Optima.

No Rust Intact smog equipment Stock engine, carb, and exhaust manifolds Good compression clean interior - they are expensive to fix. I recommend that you go to the FAQ on the 60 Series page on IH8MUD.com - tons of info and a lot of new owner questions answered. Mike S

Is that a tropic top? RH Drive, I assume? M

Sort of a mini Bubbamobile.

John I got your e-mail about this also. There is only one reason - not sealing at the front gasket. Could be one of the following reasons... 1. The most common reason is too much stuff/gear in the tent. If this happens and the rear latch is pulled down tight it could cause the front to lift up...

Excellent work, Drew! I have been down this road. Your estimates on dollars and time is right on. Do your best estimate... then double it. Congratulations! Mike S

Tony, I recall sitting in the Biergarten in central Munich in the evening, drinking a dark beer made from toasted wheat. I forget the name for it,,, Doppel-something. Delicious, indeed!

I will probably use my French press. It is simple and makes god coffee. I also like a Melitta cone - real simple. I am staring to think there is no 12V coffee grinder. Product opportunity for someone here. A hand held stainless grinder - fill with beans, hold it over the basket and press a...

I met Sergio and looked at his racks in San Diego earlier this year. They are nice looking and seem to be well built. Best thing is that they are not heavy. M

Well, looks like there isn't such an animal. I like fresh ground coffee but don't trust myself with any thing mechanical before the first cup in the morning. Inverter, I guess, since I have one already... Thanks.
