They are non existent as new old stock now, I used a chevy truck centre bearing and poured polyurethane to mold it into the housing, several hundred miles on it now and works great.

No reason at all. I had a couple that wouldn’t seal fully, would slowly deflate over several weeks. The addition of some “slime” type sealant fixed that.

I feel your pain mate, my goat brakes aged me by about 10 years before I got them right.

My transfer case had flogged out top bearings, the noise is constant, it doesn’t come and go.

Check throttle is getting full travel first, my goat topped out about 30mph, throttle rod adjustment almost doubled it's top speed.

Crikey.

Jeep as in M715? That would be handy, I'm about to pull the one out of my 715 to fit an aftermarket gauge.

I've been putting a few road miles on my goat, even with the 12 ply DUWK tyres its very comfortable and pleasant on the road, it really likes to be at about 45mph. Get yourself some Bluetooth earmuffs.

It would be nice to have a working fuel gauge in the goat. I'm guessing the sender is the likely problem, are they common to any other vehicles?

Congrats mate, looks solid. I'm jealous of the cargo cover.

I'm running the Coker 12 ply tires, ride quality is excellent, no different to the old 6 ply tires. I am running them tubeless.

Does anyone have an original temp gauge and sender they want to sell? Mine has an aftermarket gauge and it annoys me.

Unless you're built like shrek, you'll need a friend to help muscle it out.

There are still army reconditioned transfer cases available. When I got my goat it had less than 2000 miles on it and the transfer was junk due to lack of oil, it was cheaper to replace it than work on it.

That was me, see attached video. If it hasn't primed in the first 50' of driving then I'll pop the transfer into neutral and idle it in first until it does. It pumps more oil idling in first than it does in higher gears or at higher revs.

I've only swum mine once but I certainly wouldn't have wanted a winch on the front or any sort of waves, that water is awful close. It's a very bizarre feeling. There are pecial maintenance tasks to be done after a swim too, if you skip them you'll likely end up rebuilding all your hubs.

Just remember these tires are still close to half a century old, keep a close eye on them. My new tires were a pain to get onto the rims, aerostart and a gas torch worked in the end. Cost me all the hair on one arm though.

I see no reason why not. I'll have a play with pressures soon.

First impressions are good on the new tyres, at 25lbs the ride is no worse than before, new supple 12 ply tyres about the same as hard old 6 ply I think. Found some mud and water to test them out, huge traction digging forwards but like all NDT tyres they slide sideways fairly easily.
