Since I've moved I haven't actually done anything spectacular to my M38. SO I haven't added any updates, but I have done a couple small things since I got to California. I'm installing new wiring and 90% done, all but the master switch is wired new. Then within the first 5 minutes of it all being ...

Brian, it stinks that we couldn't meet in the great lone star state!

Fun story, I've been gone for about 8 weeks for Recruiting School and my silly M38 started right up when I got back! Maybe I need to drive it to work on Fort Bliss one last time before I move to Commiefornia ha ha ha.

Haven't posted in a while, but I've been tinkering with my M38 a lot. I read a quote from a Willys owner about him trying to only do "resto jobs" on his that will only keep it off the road for a 72 hour max or so. I tried to do that myself and it's kinda worked, but shes just not there reliability ...

Hey Jordan, What did you use to recover and pad the seats? I've got some walmart generic black outdoor material I used for temp pad covers and although it works, it looks like walmart cheapo job. Your seats look awesome!

Many units added the second latch on each side on their jeeps in the field when severe rough terrain use would often jar the 2 front latches loose.

I had wondered about how I wound up with an extra hood latch on each side of my M38. Thanks for that info Wes! Cool to know. I even thought about ...

I'm working on getting the our mechanics to give me a heads up before they throw wires away so I can get the connectors for guys on the forum that might need some. I've got a little ziplock bag so far of connectors if you need a few I can slap em in a little flat rate bag and send you a few. I'll ...

I smoothed out that one rim and added some rubberized undercoating spray inside along with a wheel flap to attempt to ensure that she'll be ok. painted the rims with 24087 spray cans to just get it temporarily driveable around locally. ALSO I swapped out my busted Carter WO for the solex I picked up ...

Back to the inner flap thing, opinions if I should run a flap on this one? The other 3 look great so I'm going to start painting, but this little guy has some bad pitting.

Mounted outside the box at the ground to frame cable.

I'm planning on driving my M38 to work more than I probably should since it's a piece of history and all, but I LOVE driving it. I'm going to steal your Idea with ...
