    Other than U-joints check the pinion bearings, if they get a little loose the noise will come and go with the throttle.

    Gama Goat Brake Drum/Hub resurfacing

    Try any machine shop, not automotive but oil field or job shop. They should be able to handle it. Don't be surprised if it gets a little costly.

    Gama Goat Swimming or Skinny Dipping

    Don't forget to put the hull plugs in. Local LEO's found out the hard way, it was kind of funny. Nothing but the headlights showing when we got there with the wrecker

    Kick panel plugs
