    WSUCougarx's M561 Gama Goat Acquisition and Build Thread

    The scrambled eggs and ham looked like a dog barfed in the can before it was sealed. I did enjoy the pound cake though. And REAL peaches.

    I'd leave it. I think the contrast looks good and it's awfully nice to start messing with.

    Good advice but most of Mike's vehicle (other than the fuel tank and tailgate) is aluminum so the magnets don't work so good :)

    Mike the data plates turned out great! I need to do some yellow warning plates on the LMTV. I haven't checked to see if they're raised or not but I'm guessing "not."

    Paint job looks great Mike! I must have missed it along the way but don't think I've seen those rear fenders on the tractor. Now that it's all done time to start on a M1078 :)

    Bill, unfortunately I fly back to ID instead of driving. I would have loved to stop by but it's a bit of a haul from Moscow down to Boise on a few days vacation visit. Maybe when I finally move back in 10, 12, 15 years or so.

    And parts for the truss kit. Nice haul! After driving through Houston last week to get the LMTV I was missing those lonely WA/OR/ID roads.

    When we lived in Kent the Friday exodus was never as bad as the Sunday return. It took us 5 hours one year to go from Ellensburg to Kent and traffic was bumper to bumper the entire way. I got a little bit of deja vu last week going through Houston. For being the 8th largest city in the...

    Mark at RAPCO said he had NOS truss kits but I could never get a price out of him when I was trying.

    Yeh that looks a whole lot better than the mess I found when I opened mine up.

    Thanks for thinking of me! I had actually hit Mike up about it just after he posted the picture :)

    Check my Goat thread regarding their shipping and why I'll never use them again. Even if they had the only piece I'd ever need and no one else did.

    I opted for the correct "visual appearance." option. First I didn't have the correct plug with cable but I had a correct 2 prong plug from a dead generator and second I didn't want to have to snake the correct cable all the way to the buss bar. Since there was a hole already there I chose to...

    I think you should go with the Classic Waffle House Yellow. It's a rare model.

    Then you should REALLY love your machine. We went through the brakes completely and I'm still having issues. The latest is a leak issue at a NEW wheel cylinder. With Dot 5 costing as much as it does a simple fluid leak gets expensive fast.

    Since they changed the demil code back in October of last year (that's how I was able to buy mine) he might not have to do that now. Of course he might have a different arrangement than the States do but the reason they started selling so many was the change. I doubt that'd help the SF-97...

    I forgot to mention that you went through my old neighborhoods. I went to HS in Grangeville, ID and to the U of I in Moscow so know Hwy 12 extremely well. That road is a sunny 6 lane interstate compared to some of the roads through the Smokey Mountain National Forest that a certain other SS...

    Congrats Mike! Glad you could find one close to home. Now comes all the fun :). Word of advice, change the fan belts NOW!
