Last week I had but one mission. The mission was to head down to my son's daycare to celebrate his 5th Birthday. I took these pictures right before my departure. At the last minute, I remembered I probably should remove all the weapons off the truck. The school district would have had an...

Follow Up to Post #493 Here's a little follow up to my issues found in post #493. To summarize, a couple years ago, I found I had an issue with my rear tractor axle. After driving the Goat 60 miles, the Goat would make a loud audible clanking sound that could be felt after coming off a stop...

Soft Door Refurbished I've had a pile of soft Gama Goat doors sitting by my garage for a couple years now. Just one of those out of sight out of mind kind of projects. As we get closer to July 4th, my memory took me back to driving to Centralia for their July 4th festival. I shivered a good...

CB mic holder re-purpose Seems like I'm forever looking for just one more part for this Goat. As you know, parts come and go. When you don't need them, they're available. When you need them, they are nowhere to be found. The little simple yet annoying to find retaining clip for the winch PTO...

Transfer Case Oil Pump Inspection Tube A few posts back, I mentioned I had issues with a clunking/clanking around my middle axle back in JULY 2018. The issue arose only after she was warmed up AND after having been driven on the highway. Many felt it was due to possible U-Joint issues or maybe...

Fumoto Oil Valve Failure Confirmed I got under the Goat today and ripped out that Fumoto. I was a bit apprehensive thinking if the valve was clean, then the source of the massive oil loss was something more serious. I got the valve out and removed the hose I had hooked up to it. I gazed down...

Public Service Announcement This is a public Service announcement. As you Goat owners know, draining the crankcase can be a bit of a messy endeavor. To solve this, I installed one of this "convenient" Fumoto drain valves with a hose to keep the tub nice and clean. Right?!? Well, yesterday, I...

Finally...carrier cushion! One small victory at a time. That's what it seems when you find that one little part you've been waiting and waiting and waiting...well you get the point. Here is yet another small part I've been looking for. Finally found it on Ebay! It's the cushion for the carrier...

C-Rats...finally!! Just when I think I have enough stuff on the Goat, I finally secured something I have been looking for two years now. This was one of those out of sight out of mind items. I would see it and want it, but as soon as I got home...forgotten. Now with my mind clearing from the...

Been awhile Yikes, has it been since APR18 since I posted. Well, here to better late than never. Here are some pics from the July 4th Summerfest event in Centralia, WA. Early morning we gathered in Borst Park for the public to check out our MV's. Later on the afternoon, we joined up with the...

Spring Air Out Little video I shot today. First time this Goat has been out of the garage all year!:roll: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCcsxyuRO4c

Oh I hear you about contorting. What's really frustrating is getting into those position only to have a major leg cramp set in....haha. Short of removing the cumbersome doghouse, most everything under the dash is by feel. Takes about 10x longer but eventually the job gets done;-).

The other push/pull knob is for the air intake scoop at the front of the Goat. When I was in the dash, I added the knob to plan ahead. I was going to add a hinged cover on the intake scoop for those really cold days. That idea is still in the books.

Personal Heater...check! Today I got a chance to route my heater duct. The install was pretty straight forward. Initially, I planned on making a divider right off the heater unit into two 2" ducts. I was going to route a duct to the driver and passenger side. Then I revelation. Why not use the...

Asked and now answered. It's one of those commonly asked questions..who made these trucks? Well here's your answer! I was originally going to mount it inside the truck (why it's black and silver). However, I had a different idea at the last minute. When the weather cooperates, I may shoot it...

Hunter HW-20-2 Heater After nearly a year after purchasing the HW-20-2 heater, she was finally given her new home. I spent the last couple days fabricating, painting, and finally mounting the main unit. It was a bit of a challenge to cut this bracket to shape. I used a military 2 stroke...

C-2298/VRC Lettering This Goat is still a work in progress. The VIC-1 system has been up and going for about a year. One thing that has bothered me were the VIC-1 Intercommunication Control Boxes, is they were the CARC'd C-10456/VRC boxes. They also had mid-80's dating which was not consistent...

Lights at my 6 I live on a street with very minimal lighting. I typically take the Goat out on a dusk run. By the time I get home, it's dark. I've had a few close calls with my 2nd hobby (Volkswagens). So, after my 5th close call, I decided it was time to get some lighting on my six. I thought...

Radio Check 5 x 5 Finally got a chance to venture out into the garage to put the radio in their new home. It was a bit of a chore however. My Goat sits in the garage. Now there are positives and setbacks to this. As you all know, the garage is a great place to put all the extras and things that...

Pumpkin Patch 2017 Trip Back in October, the family and my nieces wanted to head off to the pumpkin patch. We had a problem though. We didn't have a vehicle to hold all the troops. Then my wife chimed in and said why not take the Goat? Naturally I to go with the idea and agreed as I didn't want...
