Practicing What I Preach

Thought you guys might enjoy photographic proof of me practicing what I preach. I’m getting ready for some routine maintenance on my truck. I’ve connected an automatic charger with at least a ten amp output, and am waiting for the little green light to tell me the charge is complete:




Next is a trickle charger (actually a battery maintainer, there is a difference) in use on another vehicle. All it’s doing is maintaining a fully charged battery, versus topping off one that has been discharged:

Good eye! I threw that picture in there for giggles to see if anybody would notice. That's our 1948 ****** CJ-2A. In theory I should live another 25-30 years, but the kids are already trying to lay claim over who will inherit it:

I also saw the 6 volt battery and the flat head 4, looking it over I was thinking an older Jeep.
like it along with the Corvair in the back ground
Does the Jeep have rear locking hubs like the front might for flat towing?

Yes it does. Nobody offers a kit for the old 10 spline axleshafts. It was quite the project to cut down some longer axleshafts and respline the ends.
