I too, pulled my tranny last year but did not have a sling or hoist. My solution was to run a length of pipe horizontally from front of the cab to the back, attached chain as described in Charles' post, then used a good ratchet strap to apply tension between the pipe and tranny chain-just enough to ...

Not yet road-worthy and I'm getting those reactions when it's parked and I'm working on it. They run the gamut of "Nice jeep... (ugh), or "that's awesome!" or other comments-always very positive and it helps my motivation to get it on the road.

Wallace Wade in Dallas has the correct tubes cheap-don't risk your life over an incorrect set of tubes-get the right tubes that would cost under $60. I just got a set of four new tires, tubes and flaps from WW at a GREAT price. If I may- remember, Safety First! You can shortcut stuff like the incorr...

If my old Army memory serves me correctly, the 50 with triangle would be 50th Armored division, and the 1F258 would be 1st of the 258th Field Artillery....

Nice to see you back on line, Sotven, and a big welcome to M37Dodge as well-looks like we truly are a "global" club!

I dropped my pan last summer, to include replacing the rear main seal. I got the seal and gaskets from VPW-don't know what the numbers are. I used Permatex on the oil pan gaskets, only on the pan side (easier to remove if you have to replace them in the future, rather than trying to get it off the b...

Jeep Panels Plus has them too.
