Kim:
Surely you are not driving an M38 in Winnipeg at this time of year?

I used to drive mine right through the winter, but that was when I was on private's pay back in the early 80s. I also had a Stewart Warner Southwind heater mounted inside the jeep. You could tune up those heaters so the combustion chamber glowed red.

Default grill blanket

If the roads are dry I'll take it out for a run.
Had it out Xmas day.
Remember we have that "dry" cold here...

Rob's favorite MB Surplus Store at one time had a large cardboard box full of NOS Grill and Hood Covers, either in the back of the main store or across the road in the white shed.

The Princess Surplus Store on Panet Road had all the NOS Mounting Hardware you could hope for, but no idea what it was for at the time. Rob might know if any of the covers are still around. I have not been up that way for years.

None in the main store nor the old white loading dock. Been thru both of those pretty good. There is some Jeep canvas in the back of the store which I have not perused yet.....perhaps in the spring.

Kim: Just do like the soldiers do and put some cardboard between the grill and the rad. But don't do like one soldier I saw once who ran nails through the rad to secure the carbboard.

Rob, Check on the cardboard and double check on the NO NAILS!!! I am sure even us Air Force types won't do that!
