Well, I know at the very least he is upright. I saw him and chatted with him for awhile at the Petaluma event. I didn't see this thread until now otherwise I would have asked him about it.

This exact same conversation is taking place on at least 3 forums I am aware of. The MVCC had their meeting on the Saturday of the event. I was told by more than one member of that club that all of the issues were discussed in great length. I was also told KOA said at the last minute they...

A total wasted trip for me (us). Beautiful park for camping, but NOT suitable for a vendor friendly event. People had to park up to a 1/2 mile away, and many were turned away at the office. Some were charged a $10 fee to walk around--after parking that far away! The shuttle ran on Friday and...

(I know a guy that bought a Lewis Machine gun, and in his quest to find all the stuff that goes with it...bought the WW1 aircraft to fly it around with!!!!)

And thereby ruining the alternator? Or flywheel?

I didn't know any place would rebuild a Goat transfer case.

Ahhhhhhh.

I have a question. I noticed your have a rear corner antenna mount (I think on both sides as I recall). I also noticed on the driver's side it looks like you have a sugar scoop (with an antenna base) attached to the outside of the corner mount, rather than on top of it. The antenna is...

As far as the issues with putting it in all-wheel drive, try putting it in reverse and backing up for just a few feet. That worked for mine, for whatever reason.

Thanks guys. I still have enough little things to do tomorrow.

Anyone know what the civilian counterpart for the original GI shocks on an M116A2 would be? The 15 watt guy behind the counter at the local auto parts store said he would have to "open hundreds of boxes" unless I could tell him what it was off of. I KNEW if I told him it was off a military rig...

I get about 55 to almost 65 mph on the interstate. The one time I did notice it wouldn't get up above 40 I changed the fuel filters, and it fixed the problem. (And far be it from me to judge, but driving it anywhere with no brakes is--to be very polite-----not the wisest thing a guy could...

Back in the day when Goats were used, those tail-lights were sometimes referred to as "Nato" lights. Every once in awhile, they are sold as such.

Mods, I apologize if this is really supposed to be in the for sale section, but I think this might be a little different. I have no interest in this business. I was surfing the net and found these, and thought fellow Goat owners would be interested. I think I found some Goat battery box...

I am impressed!!!!!

Ahhhhh..........that lowered my blood pressure.

What am I, chopped liver? If you were going through Boise, I live about 150 yards off of I84, and could have tossed that radio plate we talked about in your pickup as you drove past.

I am relatively certain Goat transmissions are/were standard GM 4 speeds. Any junk yard with older (60-70's) cars/pickups should have a gaggle of them. Transmission internals are the same as a civilian counterpart, provided you have the same model of transmission.

Are NOS (or used, in excellent condition) transfer cases around? That might be the biggest problem. The transmission is GM, parts virtually anywhere. The engine internals are relatively speaking-pretty easy to find. Even brake parts can be found. Wiring harnesses can be repaired, and gauges...

Go to the local China-Mart, and buy a bottle of "Swirl remover". It is right next to the automotive car wax. A couple of dollars. (Do not use rubbing compound, as it is too abrasive.) Then get your cordless with a small buffing wheel. SLOW IS GOOD. FAST IS VERY BAD!!!!!!! Slowly with a...
