Overdrive & Barrel Gear
Yes fellow 4×4, Jeep, and Willys fanatics. It didn’t take long for all those who know performance to recognize a battlefield weakness in our Little Glory Jeep build.
Do you all recognize this? If not, listen up! This is powder in your cartridges, rounds in the chamber, and rounds on target. Ok, ok, let keep it in the motor transport lane. This is fuel in the tank. A genious upgrade a 25% overdrive for your Willys Jeeps. Look at this beauty.
This little guy bolts in place after removing your 26 or 29 tooth Main Drive gear or PTO/transfercase gear. This will atually give your Willys Jeep a 8 speed transmssion. Two reverse and 6 forward. That’s 1st-1st Overdrive, 2nd & 2nd OD, 3rd & 3rd OD….Now that is wicked good. All while keeping your low gear ratios axels as well as high and low range transfercase. Yes, the Captain does operate with these in his personal Jeeps he drives. Yes you can bury the speedometer at 60mph if you dare, and only push 2000 – 2500 rpms. Fun stuff, but we are talking mission here. Little Glory will be crossing the United States on open roads and dirt roads, but she will run like a champ with this capabilty added.
Want to know more? This says it all, and Herm is at the front in the trenches on all this great stuff. Check this out:

Stay tuned for install and test drive with Herm’s build.
Now that’s COOOOL!
Now worries staying cool here thanks to Mike Meditz and everyone at KaiserWillys.com. No worries of rebuilding, solder joints, boiling out the old radiator. New is the only way to go. Perfect reproduction fit, drops right in.
After very close inspection by the Capatin, a few small problem were encountered with the transmission and transfer case rebuild from a few months back. Nothing but the best, so the tranny and transfer were removed and redone.
Now she is married up again for good. New seals all the way around, and bolted back in. We have a big surprise coming for that PTO cover…..Can you imagine what will be bolted up there?
All hooked up, ready for fluids, well almost.
It is so nice working with new parts, throw out bearing, spring and fork…but you just got to get your hands dirty or it just isn’t a rebuild..
Stay tuned as we keep building.
