When I lived in WY I drove down to SLC and looked at the Springbar tents. I got the whole tour of the place in the back where they make them and the huge empty spot where they'll (at least at the time) help you set your tent up. I am kind of sorry I didn't buy one now. The tent I've got now is...

So, in other words it's going just fine. I tore mine down 5 years ago to swap cams and heads, just now starting to get things back together.

Nice work there OC but that is one shiny new Hi-Lift you have there. :laughing:

I hope it's ok to reply to an old thread instead of making a new one. I needed a couple of bumpers on my Willys for a 2 week trip to CO. I had a piece of 2X6 1/4" wall tube and use that to whip up a couple of bumpers, they each have 2 D rings that are reinforced and in line with the frame...

That is really well thought out, you do beautiful work.

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"?

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...

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. Here's...

After I built my bumper, winch plate and bolted my winch in I tack welded one of the nuts and bolts. It would take a torch to get it out now.

Since I started driving I've had a couple dozen winches over the years. I'm down to 2 right now, a Warn XD-9000I on my Willys and a Warn M-6000 on my car trailer, I've use the hell out of both of them and other than replacing cables as they wear they've been trouble free. I like the fact the...

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.

I've had a 80cuft nitrogen bottle with a Victor high pressure regulator (200 PSI) in my Willys since I started building it in the early 90's. The small quality compressors were very expensive then and I used what I had and it's works great for almost 30 years now. I like nitrogen over CO2...

Right now I have a Yaesu FT-2900 in my Willys. I have a Yaesu FT-857D at home and have been thinking about running it in my Willys too. I have space to put it but am unsure about what to do for an antenna.

KK7NAZ checking in I've got a Yaesu FT2900 in my Willys and my van, a Yeasu FT-857D in the shack and 2 Yaesu (notice a pattern?) VX-7s for walking around.

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.

Hi I've been a Ham now for about a year and a half but have no idea how to use echolink. I'm going to have t ask some guys in my Ham Club how to do that. Then maybe I can check in with you guys some Friday. KK7NAZ

Hi another FNG here. I've got a 64 Willys Traveler that I've modified over the years to spend more time off road and camp with.
