    Steel Soldiers MV of the month 2015 - May VOTE HERE

    Sorry I'm already married and, I'm sorry Mike, but you would make one FUGLY bride. And I gotta say you're just digging in deeper with the adjustment. We're already up to about 10lbs of brisket and if I lose by less than 2 votes it'll be closer to 20lbs (for 5lbs I'll let you sit in the Goat...

    Steel Soldiers MV of the month 2015 - May VOTE HERE

    I've run out of bribes and people to bribe so probably stuck (even in 6 LOW) where I'm at. Sandcobra and Junkyard are catching up. If you really like the Goat get out there and find some SS'rs that haven't voted yet and gently persuade them as to the direction to go. And you TX guys, come on...

    Working On The M561 Gama Goat

    Don't worry about it. I went ahead and ordered the other 2 pieces. Electrical gremlins are plentiful enough without chancing the import of new ones with used parts. Knowing that we have to make 2 trips with the trailer to cover the Audie Murphy event makes me want to be sure I can just drive...

    Hmmwv hauling a MKT field Kitchen.

    No but I got one with the unit out of MS. That was actually the deciding factor in bidding on it and the only thing I have left from it.

    Hmmwv hauling a MKT field Kitchen.

    Without brakes (meaning a vehicle with air) it's best to put on a trailer. I've towed one with my F250 but it was slooooow going and I never felt comfortable even though at that speed I could stop easily. One I picked up locally and towed home, one I picked up in TexArkana and loaded on my car...

    Working On The M561 Gama Goat

    Getting back to the tail light issue, NDT was probably correct in NAPA not having 24v bulbs. I simply took the original burned out bulb in and they matched it saying it was the correct one. The numbers were the same so who am I to argue? Well today I pulled the lens off the working tail light...

    Working On The M561 Gama Goat

    One third of the way to the turn signal replacement. I got the wire loom that goes between the wand and the flasher unit in the mail today. I haven't decided if I'm going new or used on the other parts. New should be dependable but used fits the wallet better at the moment.

    Well I might be bribed by something from a particular BBQ joint out of College Station. I'll let you know how many pounds will be required based on the final outcome of the voting.

    Okay folks we're heading into the last week (and Monday is a holiday so I know you'll all be at the lake). Only 73 votes so far. It's time to climb down from the fence and cast your vote to support those that have stuck their necks out, put all their emotional hopes/dreams/reasons for living...

    My New Project - 1942 Ford GPW

    I may have run across a WWII pioneer shovel if you need one. I bought it to use on the Goat but once I started working on it I figured it was older than my application. It's from the Wooden Shovel and Tool Co from Miami, OH and what I could find on line appears to be 1 of 14 WWII suppliers of...

    Working On The M561 Gama Goat

    Ok here's a little more on this shovel. Looks like it is a #2 shovel from the Wood Shovel and Tool Co. of Miami, OH. They did make tools during WWII, Korea, and beyond. Based on the grip I'm guessing this is an older model. The only examples I've found online so far have a metal portion...

    Working On The M561 Gama Goat

    Thanks! I'm trying to get as many accessories as possible to make it stand out at shows. We have an event at the Audie Murphy VA Hospital on Jun 20 and I'd like to have it near completion by then. I'm getting the 30 cal cans from a friend tonight but still need to finish all of the M60 mount...

    Working On The M561 Gama Goat

    I was pawing through some stuff I plan to take to the convention for the swap meet and found 4 straps that I decided I could use for the Goat. The first 2 went to tie down the water can on the left rear fender and work great. Looking at the other 2 that I need for the ammo can holder on the...

    Ride?? I was letting folks at the Temple Air Show DRIVE the Goat. Just imagine...the Off Road Park. All those trails and you behind the wheel of the Goat. I was actually reconsidering until that last line.

    Et tu Brute? GA guys are sticking together. You're making TX look bad. No ride for you in the Goat at the next rally (in my best Seinfeld Soup bad guy voice).

    San Antonio, TX Monthly MV get together!!

    I just signed up for the Ride A Crooked Trail Car Show at the Audie Murphy VA Hospital. We'll be taking both the M561 and the M37 so have at least 2 vehicles. If anyone else signs up click the XX for class and then put in Military Vehicle and they'll create another class for us. They only...

    Well if mine wasn't in the running I would have voted for Westy as well but figured if you can't love yourself who can you love?
