    Goat Project

    Welcome to the Goat club! Really looking forward to another Goat thread. Once things slow down with life, I'll get back to working on her.

    WSUCougarx's M561 Gama Goat Acquisition and Build Thread

    Smith and Edwards may have some in the warehouse. One of the workers hinted there were more but they were hard to get to. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

    WSUCougarx's M561 Gama Goat Acquisition and Build Thread

    Smith and Edwards Trip (Cont) Here are pics of what I brought home. The tires were 98% plus. Several of the tires still had the seem marks. I went through each of the tires and picked the best 9 tires they had. I hoped for 10 but the remaining new tires they had were all weather checked...

    WSUCougarx's M561 Gama Goat Acquisition and Build Thread

    Smith and Edwards Trip 27MAY16 Here are some of the exhaustive details of the Gama Goat tire and parts trip. As mentioned earlier, I made the trip after work on 27MAY16. I was able to get off work at 1600hrs instead of 1700hrs. I figured the extra hour should offset some of the Memorial Day...

    Just got back an hour ago. Drove 2,000 miles solo in the past two days. I'm a bit tired. When I get some rest I'll post more info. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

    11.00x18 Tires and Gama Goat Recovery Trip Looks like everything is a go for my recovery trip that'll take me across four states (Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and down into Utah). I'll be driving a mere 1700 miles roundtrip to recover ten 11.00x18 Gama Goat tires w/95% tread and some various Gama...

    Operation "URGENT RESTORATION"

    Those flex hoses can be a bit of a challenge. You can replace them without removing the springs. It's just a bit tight. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

    Operation "URGENT RESTORATION"

    Exactly, I agree! You need to slow her down a bit. My Goat is in a holding pattern right now due to life. All this outstanding progress on your vehicle is making me feel like I need to be out in the garage;-) Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

    WSUCougarx's M561 Gama Goat Acquisition and Build Thread

    Possible 11.00x18 Gama Goat Tire Recovery Trip coming up I'm getting ready to head out on a journey to pickup some much needed 11.00x18 6-Ply Gama Goat tires. The tires I have are OK for small trips to town and around the area. However, I would not trust them for anything farther than that. I...

    WSUCougarx's M561 Gama Goat Acquisition and Build Thread

    Well, I guess it's a start.... Just removed these truss components off the Goat. Well, that's three components. Just need to find the rest... The eye bolts have been on the carrier for sometime. It took a serious amount of penetrating oil and the laws of physics to get those things off.

    M792 Jump Seat and Splash Shield/Rack Another set of parts from Red River. With the installation of a couple radio mounts scheduled for the carrier, I found I lost a couple seats. Then it dawned on me. The M792 had a jump seat. I thought the incorporation of a jump seat would help to alleviate...

    Defrost Vent and Partial Install I finally tracked down and found a NOS Defrost Vent. Red River came through for me yet again and found this vent in their warehouse. I didn't have a means of cutting the sheet metal so I just took a drill motor to it and cut a billion holes until I finally cut...
