Awesome!

Post some pictures when you get time, I'd love to see it!

Thanks guys, this has been a great thread. I may head down to Ace Hardware after work and see if I can get some parts for a hose-up extension. I was mainly concerned with airing up the tire that has a slow leak. It seems I'm good to go there, but I'll get a remote hose anyway. I'll try to find a DOT...

Awesome. Great suggestions, I'll give both of them a try.

I’ll have to try blue creeper! I’ve been a fan of kroil for years, but the old bolts and cold temps made it hard to work!

Thanks for the links John! That will give me a lot of stuff to reasearch (I even sent an email to Charles of M-power to see if they have any front fender kits available (I couldn't find them on his site). My son and my nephew were excited to work on the rig, so I backed it out and we tried to get so...

Thanks guys! I'll keep reading and searching. My main concern was a slow leak in a rear wheel and I want to make sure I can safely inflate it as I move to the garage and back. That will give me time to decide if I learn how to deal with the split rings on my own (I doubt anyone locally will touch th...

Ok, so I've been doing research and the more I do, the more confused I get. I understand the concept of a snap ring being safer than a split rim, but I have some questions regarding the inherent dangers of the snap ring and want to learn some best practices: 1) Inflating: Is the danger mainly when t...

Yeah, my new 10L (2.5 gal half cans) NATO cans have the recessed seams which was why I had the questions. I was going to go all modern NATO cans, but my glove box had an original filler spot and surplus cans are a good price so I might be able to get the entire fender kit, plus can, for less than a ...

Perfect! Thanks.

Thanks! I found a "set", it comes with two lower brackets and an upper bracket: https://shop.midwestmilitary.com/product/jerry-can-front-fender-support-bracket-set/ But it looks like the regular M38 holder doesn't have counter-sunk holes on the bottom plate, like on the back. What kind of ...

Can someone tell me or show me photos how the passenger side jerry can holder works? My truck didn't come with one. From what I can gather, I need two rear brackets and a front bracket and this bolts to the standard lower can holder that is used on M38s and other vehicles. So I need 3 m37 specific p...

Thanks guys! I'll have to look at getting both the digital shop manuals (for dreaming during work breaks) and the hard copy for the shop! I'm actually in Millard County next to Delta. I've never seen an M37 running around, so I'll have to look up Travlr. That's awesome having some M37s so close! I j...

Hello new friends! This is my first post here and it might as well be the location of my build thread. I've never done a vehicle restoration before, but as an avid off-roader since I was a kid I've had all sorts of practice with various maintenance and field-repair items. My family is also intereste...
