I got the "new" tires in and they look great. You can tell on a couple of them where there are some tool marks where the new tread cap meets the sidewall, but it sure doesn't look bad. Otherwise they look like brand new tires, no cracking or age on the sidewalls. Now I need to find someone to...
Will do, they are supposed to be here by Friday when I'm working. Should get a good look at them Saturday. I had the rims I'm going to mount them on sand blasted and primered up yesterday so I'm ready to go.
Just curious if you have read back in the archives for the last 2 or 3 years as to this issue? This latest thread you are on is in reference to a 2019 attempt to fix a problem the legislature created a couple of years earlier. It cut out Ranchers Supply in Lamar from selling their "surplus"...
I plan on working outside in the "green truck garage" tomorrow with warmer temps, I'll give mine the hard look and see what I think I might really need instead of just want. I have 6 on the ground under the Goat (one is flat), 6 more mounted and parked inside (one is shredded from last years...
Hmmmm I'm open to suggestions and saving money.......anyone wanna share their ideas??? $200 is a bunch better than $500 each, but not if they don't last....their site does list them as 6 ply also.
Good copy........it changed my plans for the next 2 weeks while the Mother-in-law visits since I don't have the new tire excuse to get me out in the shop.
The Summit site lists these as a Coker Tire......wouldn't they also have to wait for them to be made, shipped to the states, picked up by Coker, then sent to Summit? I like the no shipping part! Asking for a friend........
I called Smith and Edwards and they said they haven't had any Gama Goat tires in years and years.
I just called Corker Tire.......they have none of the 1100 x 18 DUKW tires in stock anywhere. They order their tires from a manufacture that makes them for them using the molds that Corker owns...
On mine when I was going thru it, I pulled the sending unit off of the tank and all that was left of it was the "cover" with bolts holing it in place, everything that was supposed to be inside of the fuel tank was gone, looked like it had been sitting in acid.
Good to go, those would be the same ones I'm wanting to order then......but they say they are on back order, not in stock? I'm also going to have some "used" ones to get rid of.
I've never encountered an "accidentally fixed" item.....must be rare like hen's teeth.......I do have a whole bunch of accidentally broken experiences tho.
I have one I kept original and haul my Mule on it.......I just gotta ask.........what do you carry on yours? I cut between the fenders to widen mine as otherwise I would have to drive up over one fender and it was scary enough just loading anyway. Cutting the fenders and making the space wider...
Awesome looking truck and a ton of work you have gotten done. This is the second one I have seen, many moons ago I knew a guy that was in the local NG Medical Unit who was building one. He scrounged all over for parts and it was likely lots easier to find them 40 years ago instead of now...
I needed to get at some stuff in behind where I park my Mule at; I set the fuel lever to start, pulled the choke out, gave it a squirt of starting fluid in the breather, ignition switch on, pushed the start button.....man it started and fired right up! It does every time, even after sitting...
