Re: How long until EV conversions become commonplace?
I believe we are on a slow path to ¡®universal batteries¡¯. Once they realize that if they supply a decent battery, people will buy it. The same thing goes with a ¡®low cost¡¯ and ¡®top of the

Re: How long until EV conversions become commonplace?
That sounds like a very efficient set-up.?? What kind of machine is that??? I was interested in an electric garden tractor but the price was too high. What probably would attract some people

Re: How long until EV conversions become commonplace?
Here's the Ars Technica article. It mentions that the system has an automatic transmission - why?? Electric vehicles have no need of a transmission at all.? On the other hand, keeping the trusty

How long until EV conversions become commonplace?
As I've said before, electric conversions for various Willys models should make sense if systems are available as a "package" (with or without battery).? It seems to me that this is inevitable if

Derek wasn't aware that WillysTech still existed until I sent a link to groups.io to the Classic Willys Mailing List. CWML is disappearing 15 December and I sent the link thinking they might want to

Eric, Certainly recognize the model, but as for the specific Jeep... it¡¯s the wrong color & has all 4 wheels so it can¡¯t be mine ?

Just seeing if anyone recognizes this Jeep.
I've been scanning lots of Kodachrome, Ektachrome slides as well as film negatives dating from the early 1900s through probably 2005 or so. This one, of a Jeep, is from August 1997 when my wife and I

Re: Axle Shaft Search -- Nightmare in LA
It's not wise to ask an old bugger to show his automotive folly ... In the case of the axles under our wagon, because it has the Tornado engine (with lots of torque) and a 4 speed transmission with

Re: Axle Shaft Search -- Nightmare in LA
If you can get a properly rebuilt axle , that will save a lot of fuss (and money?) Of course, you have to make sure the replacement is the same as your old one. Start by checking the differential
