Figured out the mystery of the brake light being on from the last wheeling trip.....Blown Wheel cylinder
So time for disk brakes or just redo the drums??

wheel cyl is sub 20 dollar part, rear disks are considerabley more, cost is determining factor for me

My drum brakes seem to do pretty good. I've thought about going with disc's in the rear, but figure it's way cheaper to upgrade the fronts first.

It's dark and foggy out, so my camera isn't working too well, but I figured I'd throw up a picture of where I'm sleeping tonight anyway. Got an upgrade for my hammock. Should be pretty cold tonight, but I expect to stay nice and toasty.

If I don't freeze to death, I'm never using a tent again.

i got a sleeping setup that will let you sleep in it alone outside if you want, not the best if its above about 20 and raining but if its dry or frozen out its good to go

It's a double hammock. Don't know how well that would work out in practice though. :lol:

Rob, What did you finally do with this thing?

Postby **Lud** » Sat Dec 21, 2013 4:30 pm

It's hanging up in the garage.

Postby **TJDave** » Sat Dec 21, 2013 6:29 pm

Today, I stuck the camera phone out the winder.
Nice collection of old stuff.

From Wikipedia:

Military variations
Aside from Forward Control Jeeps being built for civilian use, there were also four models manufactured for the military.

M676 - Basically a civilian FC with minor modifications
M677 - A four-door crew cab with a canopy over the bed
M678 - An FC with a van body
M679 - An M678 refitted as an ambulance

Maybe a M677?

It's pretty cool.
