I'm no electrical genius, but I can usually get a light wired up good enough to pass the smoke test. I have 2 incandescent bulb driving lights mounted on the passenger side of my mule but I also have a separate hot and ground wire coming out of each housing. I just ran a separate ground wire...

I have multiple strikes against me for working / operating these beasts. I'm tall, uncoordinated anyway, fatter than I should be, old and broken up: I have considered charging for admission for people to watch me ass-in and un-ass the vehicle. Watching and listening to me work on it would have...

I wouldn't know about who made what parts, betcha GamGoat1 might know...he's the only "Goat Whisperer" I know. I have however given a few parts I was working on my own personal pet name as I busted knuckles or couldn't reach something, thought they were all made in HE double toothpicks.

I got the other 3 on the Goat today, while working on the rear end I noticed the shocks were made in Canada.....may as well be since the rims are from England.....guess I didn't realize we did that much out sourcing on US built in the 70's.

Today I painted my rims for the new recap tires I bought a while back, got 3 of them swapped out on the truck. I checked the rims and all 6 were marked Sankey England, 5 of them an A/71 stamp, 1 with a G/69 stamp.

Just another thought on this, and don't quote me on all the steps involved from suing the state, just shooting from the hip here....."IF" you found a willing attorney to take the case (I know money talks...free stuff doesn't pay the bills after law school), you don't want a lousy lawyer to take...

There are all kinds of exemptions for various levels of the "gubmint" where they can have lots of things that a regular guy on the street cannot. Many of these "things" are thru a kind of lend / lease from the fed's to the states and cities. They are not subject to all kinds of regulations that...

I'm a native, grew up loving this state and all that was in it, went away to the Marines and far off foreign shores, returned home and made it my home by choice. "IF" I didn't have so many ties here still I'd pack my trash, pull my money and un-ass the area; my concerns are that wherever I could...

I got the "new" tires in and they look great. You can tell on a couple of them where there are some tool marks where the new tread cap meets the sidewall, but it sure doesn't look bad. Otherwise they look like brand new tires, no cracking or age on the sidewalls. Now I need to find someone to...

Will do, they are supposed to be here by Friday when I'm working. Should get a good look at them Saturday. I had the rims I'm going to mount them on sand blasted and primered up yesterday so I'm ready to go.

Just curious if you have read back in the archives for the last 2 or 3 years as to this issue? This latest thread you are on is in reference to a 2019 attempt to fix a problem the legislature created a couple of years earlier. It cut out Ranchers Supply in Lamar from selling their "surplus"...

None I have heard of. Any idea of how much it would cost, know a really good lawyer who does such things?

I plan on working outside in the "green truck garage" tomorrow with warmer temps, I'll give mine the hard look and see what I think I might really need instead of just want. I have 6 on the ground under the Goat (one is flat), 6 more mounted and parked inside (one is shredded from last years...

Hmmmm I'm open to suggestions and saving money.......anyone wanna share their ideas??? $200 is a bunch better than $500 each, but not if they don't last....their site does list them as 6 ply also.

Good copy........it changed my plans for the next 2 weeks while the Mother-in-law visits since I don't have the new tire excuse to get me out in the shop.

The Summit site lists these as a Coker Tire......wouldn't they also have to wait for them to be made, shipped to the states, picked up by Coker, then sent to Summit? I like the no shipping part! Asking for a friend........

I called Smith and Edwards and they said they haven't had any Gama Goat tires in years and years. I just called Corker Tire.......they have none of the 1100 x 18 DUKW tires in stock anywhere. They order their tires from a manufacture that makes them for them using the molds that Corker owns...

On mine when I was going thru it, I pulled the sending unit off of the tank and all that was left of it was the "cover" with bolts holing it in place, everything that was supposed to be inside of the fuel tank was gone, looked like it had been sitting in acid.
