Started tearing down the spare D18 to build another D18 with Tera 3.15 gears. Still have to remove the C clip that holds the main shaft in.

Also rebuilt the rear driveshaft so I don’t have to worry about a +30 yr old U-Joint coming apart n the road.

Finally got around to installing the Holley Easy Level so the gas gauge works for the first time ever. It’s great that there’s no float to deal with. This tank is bespoke to the #m38a1 so there aren’t a lot of option for fuel senders.

Quickly found out how loud the jeep is with the top on.the quick fix was sound deadening from Amazon. It helped a lot but there’s still
More that will need to be done. Mostly fixing everything these that rattles inside. #jeep

Also picked up a Koenig Standard Half Cab. Been looking for one ever since getting the Jeep. They’re quirky and with no tailgate a full top would be useless as the hatch wouldn’t be able to open with the spare back there.

Been meaning to install the MP50 antenna mount n the #m38a1 for a while. It’ll cover the hole left by the PO who mounted an old CB antenna there.

Also achieved a new top speed in the #M38A1. 50 MPH. Was also the first time driving it at night

Spent the day at the local HS Auto Shop. Donated an old welder and helped out the kids build their postal Jeep.

The first thing I noticed while building it was all of the nostalgic smells. Not sure if it was the grease, threadlock or just all of the plastic and rubber but it smelled like a #Tamiya. It has a Hop-Up ball-diff and a Sport Tuned motor. This was my Holy Grail R/C car from back in the day.

Was finally able to find a Hot Wheels Porsche clip car in the wild! I still haven’t ever seen a silver one or the red one for 2025 #hotwheels

Hopefully when the weather gets better I’ll be installing all of these parts into the Jeep. #brennansgarage #trackickdiscbrakes #kaiserwillys #m38a1

After priming the carb at the pump, the engine fires up without any choke or throttle. Ignore all the rattling. That’s just the loose parts in the glove box. #m38a1 #vintagejeep

Was finally able to get the brakes finished. Was able to get rid of the POs hack job and get it back to factory. #vintageJeep #m38a1

It’s like Xmas when ordering #vintageheep parts from #kaiserwillysautoparts. This should hold me over for a little while. Ordered on Sunday and they arrived on Thursday!

One of these days I’ll get a tool chest so that all of my tools won’t be laying across half of the garage floor.

It’s taken two days to remove all of the brake lines as well as the Bendix HydroVac. Why two days you may ask? Because there was a lot of frustration in removing 72 year old brakelines without going losing one’s shit in the process. No fitting were damaged. #m38a1 #oldjeep #jeep

The other #jeep got some new lights as well. #bahadesigns

The old #m38a1 is getting some updated lights so I can see at night. #bajadesigns #phillipsledheadlights
