Be careful opening the tailgate if your tarp dips and fills up with water. ;) I am reminded of the Temple air show some years ago when a buddy, who's own truck was down, used my Unimog as his vehicle for the weekend. We had one of the usual frog-strangler rains overnight, and though the Mog...

When you run into a green that is "almost 383 green, but not quite" on equipment, it is likely 34079 Forest Green. It is the normal factory green for antenna bases, gun mounts, and other equipment (post-OD period). It is the dark green used in the MERDC camo (also USAF aircraft, and airfield...

And if he had done a painting of a Goat-engine-radiator-test-rig-done-in-the-southern-style, that's what it would have looked like....right? ;) Cheers

Those airsoft M60's are great for us MV types. But there was always something about mine that looked a bit off. One day it clicked, and I went after the things with some steel wool. I buffed all the corners and protuberances until the metal started to show through the black paint. Bingo...

Keith, if anyone can fix it, you can! Cheers

Onto the trailer - I use my tractor to lift one end while you drive the trailer under it (too heavy for the little tractor to safely lift the whole thing at once). That would be the reverse of how I got it off Scott's trailer by myself! At your place, I suggest several friends get together and...

Mark, if you want to come get it, you can borrow my gantry. It has a 2000# capacity, max lift height 12'. I'd bring it to you, but you have the nice, big trailer! ;) Cheers

I have one of those "spinny pliers thingies", you are welcome to use it. ;) Cheers

It's still "right", you're doing a field modification as opposed to a higher echelon overhaul. ;) Cheers

Your video makes me look fat! Other than that, the RPV is really cool. Flies well, the wind wasn't just strong, it was gusty. By my count, we had 21 vehicles and 5 trailers at the show (not all present in the video). The Goat got a good workout, driven a lot, and I am very impressed with...

Here is one from Muster Day that Sam passed on to me. Apparently you'll let any weirdo hop in and drive! Cheers

It was a lot more fun to drive this time than the last. Having the steering actually work is a huge boon! Seeing what Mkcoen did with this Goat in just a few weeks is truly inspiring. Great job! Cheers

Looking great! Those sure are nice tail-lights. ;) Looking forward to seeing it tomorrow. I've been talked into bringing the "new" mule, so the two ungulates can hang out together. Bring a tarp! Good chance of overnight rain Friday into Saturday. Cheers

Nicknames stick! Sam's M1009 "Pinky" was called that 'til the day it died, despite not having been pink for many years. The Goat is looking good. Cheers

Now THAT I want to see! :) Mark, he was talking about making teeny data plates for your model. Cheers

I'll give you your tail-lights at the meeting tonight. Cheers

Yes, but I don't think it is going to be started and driven onto the trailer come recovery time. Besides, the NC trip was fun! (Of course, it was more fun for me, since I wasn't paying the bills, but...) Cheers

Terrible winter we are having in Texas, it was a blizzard-like 83 here yesterday. (Actually, the daft part here is it can be 83 one day, and 30 the next). Two good used tail-lights in hand for you Mark, including the proper lenses. I'll almost miss the yellow paint. Almost. I'm sure a row...

I can attest to that thing being a BEAR to steer!! Cheers
