Thanks!

Got to use the truck for truck things. Do you really need to use a 50 year old 5/4Ton truck to move firewood across the yard? No probably not. Is it fun to do? Yep!

That is a LOT of 6x6's! haha. N+1 right? I've gotten some things from them, some from Big Mike's, some from BJ's Offroad, Rockauto, etc. I kinda go for wherever I can get my hand on whatever part.

Well, I don't have any pictures but I was able to install new tie rod ends a couple weeks ago. Drive's so much better now! No nasty wobbles! I've just been fiddling with it and fighting brake issues since then. I discovered my adjustable proportioning valve (that was hooked to both front and...

Another fiddly bit was addressed today; my brake light switch. The hydraulic one that came with my proportioning valve is too sensitive and turns the lights on even when I'm not pushing the pedal (or it will stay on). So I got a plunger style switch and made a small bracket on the pedal assy to...

Alright, it's been a minute since I've posted an update but I've got two things! 1) I welded on a hitch receiver to the rear crossmember so I can use a bike rack and tow my small boat! 2) John put together the video of us installing the tent! Give it a look if you're curious about what goes...

that sounds like how my parents' house was! (I was 1 of 3). No, M715's were I6 gas motors. Tornado 230. I don't know of any factory diesels

thanks!

thanks man!

I finally got mine finished! Just in time for everything to go into lockdown... oh well. Hopefully I can still keep my campsite reservation for May 8th It's a '67 Jeep M715 with a Dodge 8.0L V10 from a 2500, NV4500 trans, NP205 Tcase, Dana 60 front, Locked Dana 70 rear, 5.88 gears, and...

It seems pretty good so far! It does like 5th a lot. I'm super grateful to have overdrive now. yesterday I was able to finish my fuel tank leak repair. It seems to be holding for now. hopefully it can hold up to the fumes and gas exposure this time. To test my fix, I did what anyone would do...

Alright, so here is what I've been waiting for for about 3 months now, my seats! they have new foam on top and what is rapidly becoming my favorite leather! It's so soft and the color is perfect! The fit is a little tight under the steering wheel but the foam should start to compress over...

Long time no update. I've been on the road for the past month and I'm finally home so I can start fiddling with the truck again. Unfortunately, due to everybody's favorite virus, Easter Jeep Safari has been cancelled. This is really disappointing and crushing. I've been working towards the goal...

The first big accessory was added over the weekend! I finally got my tent installed after it has sat in the garage for a year! I spent most of Sunday fabricating my mount bars and they came out pretty ok! The next part was the tricky bit. getting the tent onto the truck and where I wanted...

alright, so my new fuel injector came in Friday after work. I checked it's resistance with my voltmeter and it looked good. So I installed it, reinstalled the upper intake and started it up. it was running well for a moment then I started smelling gas and saw quite the cloud coming from the...

While waiting for the replacement injector and IAC valve to get here, I've been fiddling around with some of the smaller projects. I finally was able to finish installing the windshield wipers and sprayers! I'm really happy how they came out. They have self-park and appear to be synchronized...

I have an adjustable proportioning valve from Summit . This guy:

We got the truck to drive!!!!! Check out the video to see how it went!

Here's our video of the final engine rebuild and startup with the new exhaust! I should hopefully have the test drive video in the next few days!

It finally happened! We test drove it for the first time today! And it went pretty well! The tires are downright awful in the snow but otherwise it went ok. We also have to figure out why the charging system isn't working and fix a few other things. But it worked!!! That was so satisfying to...
