Congrats!

Where did you find it?

If you need any parts - Harry at Midwest Willys in Crawfordsville, IN has a lot of stuff for Wagons and pickups Midwestwillys.com

I was not sure what year the 3 bolt bearing unit started and was hoping it might just be a revised bolt pattern std hub shared with the Dana 30-44 family of axles.

Most std trailer hubs I've seen so far have too small of bearing to slide over a earlier Jeep spindle.

I know Willys Jeeps and not the newer stuff... Does anyone know 1 - if the Wrangler Dana 30 hubs are 5 on 4 1/2" bolt pattern, and 2 - are they virtually the same hub as the 5 on 5 1/2" hubs as far as bearings are concerned and will work on a older Jeep or Willys spindle to convert to 5 on...

15" would be preferred anyway.

Any idea what the back spacing is on one, also have the hub diameter that could be a potential deal breaker too.?

Guess I need to try someones spare tire.

thanks Jon,

My Aluminum Triton Trailer I use to haul my 48 Willys had 5 on 4 1/2" bolt pattern hubs. The steel wheels are 14X 6 with about 4" of back spacing. I need a spare and thought about using Aluminum Wheels from a Jeep if they will fit. I'm not familiar with the Chrysler Jeeps but do any of the...

It would have came with one if it is a M38A1. Uses the same as all the other L & F 134s but was most likely removed for the pump install. It is also common to see them relocated to the fender. Contact Harry Sheets http://midwestwillys.com in Crawfordsville, IN tell him Art C. sent you. I do his ...

2 bars at best and no coverage on the site.

11mbs on the wireless router.

Need the direct cable or away to block others.

Downloaded the usb driver but not sure what else I need ... do you know?

Bet you're missing your Omnia now...Hope to use my at Gruber if they have a signal out in the middle of no where.

Maybe the JISSC will be better.

About 17 of us are leaving and supporting the CERF P at Camp Gruber. I hate going anywhere that starts with Camp. Camps are less primative than Forts if you know what I mean... We'll miss you on this one. Spoke to Gris yesterday and he sounds pretty busy. TVD took a new job replacing Jack starting a...

I'll try and post a couple pics he sent us at work next week.

Anyone going from here?

I'll be taking my 48 CJ2A and probably the Bantam T3-C trailer.

I've been collecting trailer data and pictures to resurrect a database for the Bantam T3-C 1/2 ton utility trailers produced after WWII and designed after the Bantam T3 military trailer:

Here is the web page I launched today: http://bantamt3c.com

Welcome Back!! Got to love Tax Free money spent well! We are begining the planning for our visit in 2010 (my 3rd trip). Did a lot of research on Flat Fenders during my time at Camp Doha, Kuwait in 03. Does anyone remember the MileMarker Winch ads of the guys installing winches on the Hummers in the ...

Does this mean I need to turn one of my tires around? Will has had those wheels and tires on his M37 ever since it has been on the road. http://b3.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/00452/35/24/452694253_l.jpg Jon, I'm sure your M37 wheels great like it is. Have you ever had it in some real goo and had to re...

When we started getting the M9XX series 5 ton mil 6x6s at work in the 90s, the directional Michelins were reversed for one tire on each axle and we thought it was an error at the factory but later found out that in order to get traction in reverse you would need a tire for directional traction going...

I'd like to see either one!

Our next reunion will be May 15-17 2009 in Collierville, TN

We don't have enough of this in the midwest in my opinion.

I have a couple pieces of bumper material steel if anyone is interested. . . 2"X6" 1/4" wall I think.

Hello All, Wanted to make the Cruise Friday since I live in B-ville and could have drove the 48 a half mile to Dream Hut but plans got changed. . . Mickey (mrh316) and myself (Art) are deployed and living at the Morial Convention Center in New Orleans along with 9 other members of the Peoria Air Gua...

This nice guy with a bunch of Jeep projects sold them to me. Oh, are you going to Jeff City this year? Glad they worked out for you. No, unfortunately we are largely involved in Spoon River Drive with several family booths at Lane Transfer (Farmington West). If and when they move back to a Sept dat...

Here's my 53 M38A1 project. I got rockers, floor pans, and a rear floor riser from Classic Enterprises. I'm using this project to learn sheetmetal work before attempting my Project CJ2A later. http://48cj2a.com/images/M38A1/driversideold.JPG http://48cj2a.com/images/M38A1/driversidefit.JPG http://48...

Jon,

Look'n good!

Where did you get those springs?

I started my M38A1 sheetmetal project. . . I'll start a new post.
