A very nice Partagas Series P No.2, Habana; some 25 yr Zacapa rum, and from my collection of (more useless crap - wife's opinion) rare cigar accessories, (my opinion): a Boston Cigar Cutter and a circa 1915 Eldred No 12 Wireless Jump Spark lighter. The fuel is white gas, the spark is provided...

I like it - that's what I'm talking about. Could you provide some specs on the tow vehicle? Thanks

I just did the EJS at Moab, towed my 53 M38A1 on an 18' Featherlite open flatbed with my 2016 F250 6.7. Stock tune, only mod is a 50 gal fuel tank. That sure makes a difference - not having to stop for fuel so often. I replaced the stock trailer tires with a size bigger, once we hit NV I ran...

That's my 53 M38A1 on the rack, but the Jeepster has a similar setup. Adam, the owner of the Jeepster, and Shawn Carmichael of Carmichael's Customs worked round the clock to get my rig ready for Moab. Thanks guys for a job well done. I met the guys from RCV at the vendor show in Moab and...

Here's a shot of the new suspension. We took it to Moab - worked great. Rubicon in June.

Great pictures. We got to Moab on the 7th, did a trail-a-day with the Red Rock 4 Wheel Club, and decided to head home Saturday rather than Sunday night/Monday morning. Looks like it was a good choice - when did the storm move in? We drove (trailered the jeep) straight through - Hwy 50 to...

Here' another picture of the Comando

That belongs to one of the guys working on my jeep. I will get some more pictures of it.

We kept the leaf springs on the rear axle and did a 3 link on the front. It's all mounted, waiting on axles - should be here Saturday. Here's a picture of the front -

Getting closer, just about everything is mounted up - waiting for the axles. Still shooting for leaving here the 5th.

They will be if we don't find another jeep to put them on. I don't know exactly where they were purchased, the guy who built my jeep supplied them. I can ask him.

So what is the length of the new wheelbase? The guy doing my conversion just did one on his Bronco; he had valving issues as well but found someone who went through and adjusted them all. He says the ride/cornering is perfect. My frame should be about the same width as your son's CJ - so I...

Yes it is, thanks. The allied beadlocks on there now are 5.5

Not certain this is the correct forum - please accept my apologies if it isn't. Does anyone have experience or know where I can get some T shirts with a custom logo? I would like both lettering and a picture. Thank you

Thanks - that is my main concern, and was the reason I didn't go to coil over when we rebuilt it 2 years ago. The guy who built what you see now is doing the conversion, he has had great results with the coil overs he has done. He did explain the narrowness of my frame compared to newer jeeps...

Thanks guys. I hope all the results are positive. I hate to mess up a good thing. Sort of the - "If it ain't broke don't fix it" rule, but the 8 lug 60s will give me bigger brakes and the coils will allow more articulation. I won't throw any of the parts away just in case.

My 1953 M38A1 has been back on the road for a couple of years and we've decided it's time for some upgrades. The 5 lug Dana44/60s will be replaced by 8 lug 60/60. The Allied bead locks will be replaced by Hutchinsons, and I might go with a bit larger tire. If we have time before Moab, the...

Going to Moab for the jeep safari, 8-16 April 2017. First trip to Moab, trailering my jeep from Calif. Any suggestions/cautions/advice for the trip or the safari. Registration for the trails does not open until the 31st of this month. Anyone else planning on driving out from Calif?

Looks like fun. Do you have room for a 1953 M38A1 (with a few mods)? No sides or doors - just a soft bikini top; so if it looks like bad weather or real cold - I would chicken out. I would drive, or trailer up from the Napa Valley assuming I could leave my truck and trailer at the hotel...

Sunday was my dad's 90th birthday party. We finished up the evening with some Cohiba Piramides and Capo di Stato grappa.
