And now for the biggest M151a2 tip you will ever get: There are a total of 12 U joints and they all need grease at least twice a year. That will be after you have repacked all the wheel bearings, which will likely come loose after 50 miles and need re-adjusting.

Other weaknesses are:
1: the rear suspension hangers (simple plates whose holes tend to elongate.....the jeeps are rollover prone already without the rear suspension constantly shifting back and forth).

2: the transmission/transfer cases tend to wear out a little prematurely. Generally good for about 30,000 miles.

But that's it. Keep those U joints lubed, and you should have thousands of good motoring miles. Are you also keeping the M38A1Cdn3 Terry? If so you will need a bigger yard.
