    Which APC is Right for Me?

    I agree with wheeled armor vs tracked. Ferrets are small enough to put on a trailer (gooseneck likely but still small) or, in TX for example, you can license it and drive it to events or parades. Tracked vehicles, outside maybe a Weasle, are heavy (so require major transportation ability)...

    Working On The M561 Gama Goat

    I am getting power to the carrier as the tail light with the correct bulb in it works. After taking the bulb out that was incorrect one of the upper bulbs lights up. That's one of the reasons I'm thinking I have to have working bulbs in the correct spots for it to work. After this I have to...

    Working On The M561 Gama Goat

    I'm actually using the conversion directions from the -20. You'd think they'd be correct. However... Being the eternal pessimist that I am (how I knew the Goat would never get MV of the month for May - maybe I'll get a couple of pity votes now) I figured I better not feed the new loom behind...

    Working On The M561 Gama Goat

    I got part of it figured out. Most of one set of wires are obviously coming from the old turn indicator and most of those go to the bottom part of the distribution box. Unfortunately there are other wires from the main loom going to both the top and bottom sections of the box. Also the tags...

    Working On The M561 Gama Goat

    Started working on the blinker change over today. As noted earlier I did find some additional yellow paint and more of the beach has washed ashore. Have I mentioned how much I hate electrical work? The -20, as usual, is about as clear as translating Greek to Latin to German to English. It...

    40th MVPA CONVENTION Topeka, Kansas - June 25-27, 2015, Coming??

    The email is still about clear as mud. Do vendors selling items in the Swap Meet area have to charge and report sales tax at any point?

    Price Check M792 Gama Goat

    That's the one I was talking about. I thought I'd heard it went for $24k but may have been wrong. It appears to be "as delivered" other than the bolts should have been painted.

    The rescuer becomes the rescuee (M35A2 issues)

    Since I was the only one that quoted you, I'll respond. NO.

    Price Check M792 Gama Goat

    They certainly cost more if you decide you want to change the color. Maybe if I'd just painted it blue it would have come out green.

    Price Check M792 Gama Goat

    Since there's a limited number that makes them worth more but unfortunately due to it's usefulness (pretty much just a toy) it also limits it's market. There was a recent sale of a nuts and bolts restoration of a 561 that went for around $24k (I believe) so that would be the top of the pyamid...

    The rescuer becomes the rescuee (M35A2 issues)

    I would be willing to bet that Barrman has more mechanical experience and treats his vehicles better than 95% of the people on here. He teaches auto mechanics for a living so stumping him is not easy. Before you go ranting about someone not knowing how to care for their vehicle or knowing what...

    40th MVPA CONVENTION Topeka, Kansas - June 25-27, 2015, Coming??

    Not worth the hassle to me. I only have a couple hundred bucks worth of stuff if I sold it all. My table will still be there and the guy I was splitting it with will have his display but I'm leaving my stuff at home. Leaves more room for me to buy things I don't need.

    40th MVPA CONVENTION Topeka, Kansas - June 25-27, 2015, Coming??

    I just got an email from the MVPA that we're supposed to charge sales tax and report it. That shuts me down from selling my piddly little junk as I'm not going keep track of selling a few dollars worth of stuff and then report it. Anyone that pre-purchases the deuce reinforcement panels I have...

    My new to me Gama Goat

    I have a friend who has a Goat with a shelter in the carrier and his was modified like this as well. I think I read the M792s may have been modified so the exhaust didn't get into the carrier. Either way, my '71 has the original exhaust in the factory location so not sure when this mod may...

    Working On The M561 Gama Goat

    No hurry. Those are just to go on the dummy black outs. I've got good lens for the turn/brakes.

    Working On The M561 Gama Goat

    Got the final 2 pieces of the signal upgrade in the mail today. Unfortunately it's 85 out with 80% humidity so my wilt factor is high. I may try starting on it in the morning when everything is a bit cooler. With the amount of rain recently the humidity is going to be a bear for a while. I...

    The rescuer becomes the rescuee (M35A2 issues)

    Glad everyone made it home. We were an island on Saturday. One crossing I might have tried in the deuce since even if I couldn't make it the area was wide open and could never get more than a few feet deep and I could sit there for days without worrying about getting swamped. The other...

    Steel Soldiers MV of the month 2015 - May VOTE HERE

    Rudy's BBQ. They have sign "voted worst BBQ In TX" but it's pretty darned good. Their creamed corn is so sweet you can eat it for dessert.
