Just a few pics to show where it has come from...

 

[JEEPCJTJ]

A now rust free Jeep. Very impressive.

 

[Armytruck6x6]

Thank you... I have over 1k of pics. When i look through them i get PTSD!

I love that you did the chassis and drivetrain in that military color (I'm going to assume that is a green color, though it's hard to tell on my monitor). Anyways, the entire thing looks fantastic! Great job!

Now that’s badass. I wanted to paint mine OD green but the wife talked me into keeping it blue. When I saw the pic with the cargo net my first thoughts were of an old GI Joe toy. Looks fantastic. I’d like to read a write up on the details of the build if you ever have the time.

Looks great!

 

[TJ Hunnicutt]

That looks spectacular! Can't wait to hear about your first drive and to see some "action shots" to cap off that pile of a 1000 pics!

BTW, you're never done

 

[TJ Hunnicutt]

Wooops!!! Was blinded by the glory of your job and forgot to welcome you to the forum!

 

[Farmergreg]

Welcome...and whats the scoop on the M35 A2? with a winch to boot!

 

[Armytruck6x6]

Yes... it is a 1971 (same yr i was born) jeep Kaiser M35A2 w/winch. Thats my baby! It has gone out in the woods and trails many times to recover other vehicles, yes even jeeps. I still get calls by the tow company i worked for many yrs ago to get the ones they cant!

 

[Armytruck6x6]

A few more pics to see where i started... frane was full of spray foam and painted. I sandblsted every part on the Jeep. Fenders were rotted, so i cut them to be "flat" as well as the stock flairs. Spring perches were cooked, so i relocated them after the 4" lift.

 

[Armytruck6x6]

I just want to thank this forum for letting me purge this past year of lessons and frustrations... here are a few more pics. Thank you everyone for the positive comments! My wife has no clue the amount of work ive done, but i do have to give her points for dealing with my "amazon, CL, and internet search" for parts and solutions to issues... she did all the ordering and returns... so i guess ill let her ride in it lol.

 

[Squirmin L Toad]

Wow, that's amazing. I absolutely love the paint job.

 

[Armytruck6x6]

Thank you.... CARC 383 Gillespie coatings... took one gal, $45. Paint was from 1985, dont eat it! Has led...

 

[Armytruck6x6]

I bought the green one (98) for $1400, and the blue jeep (97) for $1000 (had to give the guy back the tires, but didnt care) .... kept everything i wanted from both, and sold all the remaining parts breaking even on both jeeps...
