The name of the jeep is “ Klinger “from Mash TV show.
My actual vin number on the m38a1 hood is 80803.
Jeep Model is a MB38 Brute Willys.
M38A1 grill but stretched in width with 2 more slots to become a MB but also fit the chevy big radiator.
Cj5 fenders modified to become Flatty
Factory M38a1 tub but may have to extend the cowling ( double it up to fit the V8)
Custom back bed to accommodate side drawers/ cabinets for quick access storage.
Spare Tire mounted behind cab- helps with vehicle weight balancing & not gonna get hit on departure angle. On passenger side of tire is my Onboard Welder & @powertank for onboard Air.
Bed Rack to store my @rotopaxofficial & @maxtraxhq
+ Rooftop tent.
With LS 5.3 that’s plenty of power to tow 5,000lbs for all i think ill be towing.
The purpose for this masterpiece of a build is :
Im part of the @eriejeeppeople club, all the trails we ride on id have to be trailered to vs able to drive there on my own, im a lover for 1940-50s jeeps yet I want a reliable drivetrain. + at my age i need a truck so i mashed all up & thought of this.
LS5.3 wasn’t ever my drivetrain of thought, was gonna be a TJ 4.0.
Anyway I better get to building
Deadline to be completed is June 2024 for @bantamjeepfest & maybe @semashow 2025
