What's new...
Not much in willys land; the auto transmission for the crawler is supposed to be done some time this week - I took a bit of a break from the big one to finish off the stocker I have - re-built both axles, trans and t-case - motor is bare block and going to the machine shop this week once new pistons get here...
Plus I have been recentering wheels for my duece... going form 37" NDT's to 48" Michelin Xl's...
On top of that I managed the overhaul, re-assembly and tuning of the two DMRV-16-4's which power this gal...
So pretty much just laying around being a slacker

got any pics of the back of that wheel? did you use the old centers from the splits? they look good.

I don't think I have any from the back - yep I reused the centers from a set of split ring wheels and machined the 10 bolt budd out of the 5 ton combat rim with a step machined in it - then just turned the same step in the split centers - bang together (0.001-0.003" press fit) and weld...

Not much... Work has been out of control - in the last couple of weeks I was in Egypt, Djibouti, and Ethiopia for 7 days and then in Baltimore for another 5 days, This weekend I was working on a steamship in tacoma all day sunday... Work work work!
Anyhow - I have the transmission in my hands again and probably won't do much to the jeep until the stocker is done - (engine block is at the machinist now) I am also working on the duece to get it all set for going to portland (MVPA convention) in about a week...
Not too exciting - but it is what it is

I talked to matt a couple weeks ago. He has the motor rebuilt and ready to go in. His new job keeps him pretty busy so time to work on it it pretty slim. But I did give him some **** and to get it done :redneck:

Yeah - Mike caught me out of the shop in the "real" world... I did get the parts to build the rear driveline... and I physically touched the jeep last night... :redneck: That's been about it though... I am clearing out some other little projects so I can get back to this monster...
