Thanks guys, we did find a sharp edge on the mounting plate where the fairlead is attacked. In fact, we found one on the opposite side as well. The slot in the mounting plate does not follow the profile of the fairlead at the edges. We have corrected the problem and installed new line. If...

Thanks Quicksilver. To answer your questions - the line was less than a year old, but has had the most use over the past 2 weeks. I've had to winch myself up some sections of fire trails because the base is so loose from the dozer traffic. I can power my way up them - but I: make a lot of...

I have a rebuilt/modified - new gears, upgraded motor - 8274 mounted on my jeep. The jeep weighs approximately 5,000lbs. I slid sideways off a fire trail when a section of the cut broke away. We got a chain back to one of the dozers to keep my jeep from sliding the rest of the way down the...

My 34 Ford Roadster Here's my 34 Roadster (and it would appear - one of my fingers) The car is an original, all-steel - full fender.

34 Ford We did new upholstery and top for my 34 Ford Roadster.

Latest mods/upates We swapped out the Holley Sniper for an Edelbrock system. The Sniper was experiencing problems with the secondaries not closing completely. If anyone wants details - pm me. I had some alligator hides, so the guys in the shop had the seats redone in alligator. We changed...

Thinking of going to Death Valley over the Thanksgiving holiday; any suggestions on trails or any organized runs? Thanks

Here's a couple more pictures of the Safari Windshield.

OK, here's some more pictures of the sliders. The make is "Rock Slide". Pictures showing the step retracted and extended.

The boys in the shop either figured I was getting too old, got tired of watching me climb up via a tire, got concerned I'd break another leg getting out of it - or all three; but they replaced the tube rock sliders with electrically actuated "concealed" steps from Rock-slide. They look good and...

Safari windshield rebuilt and installed on my 1953 M38A1.

M38a1 Stock front edge roll cut and reattached (welded) after eliminating the drop.

The end to a years long search draws near. Since seeing one years ago, I have been searching for a Safari Windshield. I understand they are also referred to as an Export or Ventilated Windshield. Through the generosity of my friend Frank E., I was given a (mostly) complete restorable example...

I too have a 1953 M38A1. Mine was stock Military when my dad gave it to me some 40 years ago. It had some body damage, which I repaired and sprayed it rattle can brown. I also converted to 12V. It looked like this: It was cool, had the little trailer, I drove it on and off for those 40 or so...

With the transition to 40's and off-set wheels, practically the entire width of each tire is completely outside the fenders/body. I stay off the freeways, but still have the occasional drive by encounter with local police, sheriff, and CHP. Although I have not been stopped, I figure it's just...

Sunrise - Tanzania Lightning storm - off the coast of Zanzibar

Nice carb setup. I have a pair of 97's on my '34 Roadster.

We are experiencing some issues with a Holley Sniper system and are wondering if anyone else is having the same problems. The Sniper is installed on a Chevy 383. The two issues are: (1) erratic idle - the system will work fine, then when you release the throttle the idle will not return to...

Thanks - but it's a 1953 M38A1 - at least that's what we started with.
