    Vehicle maintenance - Inspection and Tools

    I though I was the only one that used one of these, every time I get mine out to use it someone always says "what the hell is that"?

    How to use a Hi-Lift Jack

    I've been using Hi-Lift jack for over 50 years and one thing I have learned for certain is that you need to pay your undivided attention to them while you're using them. Otherwise they will, best case damage your rig, worst case hurt or kill you or someone helping you. My advice is to take time...

    PSA for those who may not know...Tow balls are NOT recovery points!

    My Willys had no tow points originally so when I built bumpers for it I added them. My bumpers are 2X6 1/4" tubing, I slotted the tube where the D rings would be welded on and slid in a piece of 3/8"plate and welded it in the tube, my D rings are in line with the frame rails and welded.

    CB radio mounting location?

    I made an overhead console to put reading/map lights, switches and radios in my Willys. The blank spot on the right is where my FT-2900 2 meter Yeasu ham radio is now. Sorry for the poor photo, I'm trying to figure out how to glue/attach some insulation to the roof.

    On board air or portable tank

    Odd Ball rigs. Who else has an outside of the norm rig?

    I have a 64 Willys Traveler I use to spend time off road, I've been working on and improving it for 25 years now. Willys didn't make very many of them so I guess it's an odd ball vehicle.
