I'm thinking about buying a similar set of tires for my M38. Looks good. Can you post a picture from the side?

Thanks Ron!

I'm getting ready to install the canvas top on my M38. I'm pretty sure my top bows are reproduction. How do the horizontal rods mount to the bows? I don't see any holes in the bows for the rods to mount. Anyone have a picture or is there a diagram somewhere?

Thank you,

Dave

Nice work. Can't wait to see the tub when it's done.

Maybe replace the floor first then make sure the body and frame mate correctly before working on the sides? That's how I did mine. I didn't replace the entire floor though, just the two floor pans.

Before I took my Jeep apart, it had modern replacements and stopped just fine.

My current axles are either NOS or government rebuild right out of the crate. They have older brake shoes that work just fine too.

I can say that the older brakes generate a ton of brake dust when compared to the new ...

My guy said he spent 2.5 hours. That would be $168.75 at your rate.

That was my first trip to a machine shop. I asked up front how much it would be to do the job and he said depends how long it takes. I should have asked more questions. I came back to get it with $100 in hand thinking it would be less. Next time I will get a better price up front. Live and learn, a ...

I took the manifold to a machine shop recommended by someone on the G503 site. They replaced the stud for me. It was not $20. Multiply that by 10. It came out nice but I guess I could have purchased a good used manifold for less. Oh well, live and learn.

I will adjust the valves and put everything ...

Just got the manifold back from a local shop.

Looking for a good machine shop near the Orange County area of California. Anyone know of a good shop? Will post on other forums as well.

Thank you,

Got the nut off but the threads are toast. Looking for a machine shop.

I will use brass nuts next time.

Ron,

I got the nut to rotate a few threads then it locked up. Then I heated the nut up to cherry red and let it cool down a few times. After that the nut started to move. It loosened a few rotations then I think the threads just gave out because the nut just spins and does not come off. The nut is ...

I removed my manifolds to adjust my valves. In the process I messed up the threaded stud on my exhaust manifold. Just a couple of questions below:

Is it possible to replace the stud on the bottom of the manifold? Machine shop maybe?

If not, is there a difference between a CJ2A and M38 exhaust ...

Thank you.
