2nd Highway Road Test W/W. Took the Goat out today to church. I wanted to do another highway road test on her to see if there was any difference with the winch installed. Boy, she might as well have an elephant in the carrier. I really noticed she did bog down a bit. She took a bit longer to...

Thanks for the kind words. Yes sir it is. It's all weather. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

PM Scott about what he did. He bought his 5 ton from Brad without a title or SF97.

Peter why do you need to take it for a WSP inspection? Do you have the SF-97 for it?

Yes sir they are. My two youngest kids love playing in the Goat. My oldest two not so much. They'll catch on someday;-)

LS-454, Rearview mirror install I had a spare side mirror kicking around on my workbench. I figured I'd put it to use as a rearview mirror. I cut a piece of aluminum stock and had a nice mounting bracket. I used the existing hole in the windshield support mount. Looks a bit odd having a huge...

Well, the Goat has a name... My little man has come up with a name for the Goat. It shall be called "Whaa". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDWpbiFN6HQ

I know I'm a little late to the party. I went with the VIC-1 System in all six of my MV's. The parts are relatively inexpensive compared to your VIC-3 system. Plus the VIC-1 system is still readily available.

Where's the main CD-82?

With the VRC12 radios on the port side of carrier, I need an antenna cable to run the outside border of the carrier to the starboard stern corner. I actually just now realized I need two cg1773's. I've got an AB-15 antenna back there as well.

Carrier VRC-12 Setup so far... Here's what's going on in the carrier so far. When I decided to mount the radios and AM-1780 in the carrier. I wanted most everything in a small packaged area. My priority is to have seating in the carrier. Rather than comms in the carrier and seating where ever...

I'm right there with you brother! I'm lucky to get an hour or two a week at this point. This week has been better than most as I'm on vacation. But still, time is really hard to come by at this household. Just take one step at a time and before you know it, it'll be done. Then you'll wish you...

VIC-1 Operational! When I installed my AM-1780, I did a quick check to see if she was operational. I got power to her and noticed the power indicator light wasn't working. Rather than spending a bunch of time troubleshooting, I just mounted her and hoped for the best. With a family of 6...

My Goat setup Here's my setup thus far.

VIC-1 Control Boxes in cab rack I didn't want to stop my momentum yesterday. I was having too much fun with the winch install. So I decided to mount and paint the VIC-1 rack on the doghouse. After everything was said and done, it was 0330 hours before I turned in for the night err morning. I...

I know this is over a month since you asked. After installing the PTO last night, the PTO derives it oil from the transfer case. Because my PTO was NOS, I poured some Lucas Oil Stabilizer in the case to get here lubed up.

Winch Installation Cont. Now if you want to know the definition of fun here it is. Installing the winch shaft boot, installing that awesome hose clamp and then trying to seat the seal in the middle. Now, there are just some things man shouldn't be called to do. This was one of them. If my...

Winch Installation This afternoon I got started on my winch installation. I started the arduous job of stripping the once completed cab. I removed the seats, doghouse, and an air duct panel from the passenger side. First order of business was installing the PTO. It was a bit of a contortionist...
