Many hobbiests deal with the same issues or problems with their restores. Here are some of the top tips that hobbiests have sent in.

1. TIP #1 Jumpy Speedometer Reports of speedometer needles jumping around. These can be traced to a loosened speedometer cable where it connects to the transfer case. Tighten the connection and the needle stops jumping. -Army Motors April 1945 p10 |
|
2. TIP #2 Manual Wipers moving while driving |
|
3. TIP #3 Pesky Fuel Pump bolt Once you install the front Fuel Pump bolt it is very difficult to reach this bolt with a wrench. There just is no room to get your wrench in there and turn. Prior to installing this bolt, cut a slot into the bolt so that you can use a screwdriver to easily remove it. -Army Motors May 1945 p57 |

4. TIP #4 Spark Plug Caps |
|
5. TIP #5 Rifle Rack as Carrier Tip by Ingo : If you mount your rifle rack upside down you can use it to carry additional display items |
|
6. TIP #6 Use Grease for sticky fingers. |
|
7. TIP #7 12v Timing Light to 6v system Timing lights are usually 12 volt and inexpensive. You can use your current car batter to provide the power to the timing light, while you hook the lead to your 6 volt jeep wire. Or if you have a 12v battery charger it will work as well (to time your 6v jeep system) |

8. TIP #8 Paint touch up bottle |
|
9. TIP #9 Add small extension to overflow tube After a nice restore, add an extension to your overflow tube so you don't get fluid all over your new paint. |
