Steering Wheel Repair and Front Turn Signal Mount Modification It was quite apparent the steering wheel in my Goat was probably original. I'm not sure what kind of material it's made out of but it cracked in about a half dozen different areas. Some areas had a crack that was close to 1/8" or...

I know there is a fuel fired heater for the Gama Goats. Is there a hot water heater option? I haven't seen any specific kits but thought about adapting a M151 Heater box to a Goat. But don't know if there are any water access points on the DD353 to accomplish this option. Has anyone done this or...

Slave Cable 2 Prong Plug Kit, Shift Knobs, For some reason, my Goat didn't come with a Slave Plug in the bow. I've been perusing my favorite parts place for the past few weeks looking for a 2 prong plug with the correct cable length. This afternoon I finally stumbled upon one that looks like...

Detroit Diesel SAE 40W Oil Requirement (MTU Manual) Well, I recently changed my oil to Rotella T1 30W. Apparently, 30W is an acceptable oil weight provided it's only used short term. Under another thread, JDToumanian provided a MTU manual stating 40w CF2 should only be used in the DD. I don't...

Type in "military 3 plug connector" on a popular site (E***) Several options come up.

Campaign for the WSUCougarx M109A3 w/w Here's my build thread if you're interested into what went into this project: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?55385-Project-Off-Grid-M109A3-w-w-log

Thanks for the heads up! Should have known there was a sponson that went with these mounts. Hopefully, the sponson was used on other MV applications as well. If not, I'll have to throw is on the Priority One list of unobtanium Gama Goat parts.

First off, congrats on your Gama Goat acquisition!! Very good questions. Parts are a bit of a challenge to find. However, if you go to the Gama Goat forum, there is a sticky at the top giving part numbers for common parts. There are about a half dozen Steelsoldier Gama Goat projects currently...

VRC-12 Radio Set Installation Kits w/Mounts Tonight I was perusing the classified ads and saw a complete VRC-12 Radio Installation kit for the RT-246/RT-524 and R-442. It was complete with NOS MT-1029 and MT-1898 mounts. I know I'm going to be installing some radio equipment in the carriage and...

Detroit Diesel 3-53 1st Run After Changing All Fluids, Filter, Hoses, and Belts Just completed changing ALL Fluids (Engine, Transfer Case, Transmission, Differentials), Filters, Hoses, Belts, and Radiator. This was more or less a test run to make sure everything looked good and free of leaks...

Got my replacement radiator today. Got a bit of a scare as I saw damage once again. I was unable to see any perforations in the water channels but you never know. I went out to the garage and got my air hose. I put the air nozzle on with a rubber spout to create a nice air tight seal. Had my...

Got my replacement radiator today. Got a bit of a scare as I saw damage once again. I went out to the garage and for my air hose. Had my son plug off the two main inlet and outlet holes while I plugged off one of the small once while holding the air hose up to another small hole. I put some...

Carriage Seat Belts came today! Never been so excited about seat belts before. Just got these today. Now I can have the family in the carrier for parades and whatnots. As with most parts for the Gama Goat, they are few and far between. When you see a part come up, you've got to snatch it up...

Paint scheme options-24087 Semi-Gloss OD Green Then there's the classic MV look with the semi-gloss 24087 OD Green. For sure the interior and engine compartment will be 24087, but I'm torn with the exterior. I'm keeping the 24087 on the interior in keeping with the nostalgia more than anything...

Paint scheme options-MERDC I'm just pondering a color scheme for this Goat. My truck is currently painted in MERDC but there's something about this particular MERDC pattern I really like. Not sure if it's the shade of brown (looks like Earth Yellow FS30257) or the sharp camo lines vs blended...

Carriage Seat Belts Part # 10866260-1 (Beams 50" Seat Belts) Today, went to my favorite site and completed my seat belt quest. I found the USGI seat belts found in the M561 carriage. I ended up buying 10 sets instead of 8. Thought it would be a good idea to have a couple spare sets. My carriage...

I've got a couple components to the mount laying around in the garage but don't have the power source for one of those.

Unfortunately, I work on Veteran's Day. I guess it's only fitting to have the only Vet on staff working...haha.

Sorry guys, no progress on this truck. I still have plans for her but I caught the Gama Goat bug.

Am I able to put a different truck in the pool if I already won this year? Not sure if the rule meant not to re-nominate a truck that already won. If I'm able to throw a different truck in the mix, then I'd like to throw my M109A3 w/w.
