@wngrog what’s the payload capacity on that UTV?

Rated at this but it’s about 1/2 what it will do. My buddy has one he hauls seasonal workers around in a 20’ trailer with 20 men in it.

You my friend, are a very particular person…

Happy 4th with me anniversary to the Goat.

Today I rolled it on the lift for the first time since the full disc 3.70axle/4 speed/split case/2F/Sniper swap and gave all the bolts a once over. 14 months. Nothing mess loose not leaking. That was the best thing I ever did making this truck a fun driver.

Also I gave it a birthday present of a spanking new @OPMACHINE rear bumper.

Detailed install thread coming so he can point people at it that want one. Superb product. Absolutely beautiful.

Is that gap as big as it looks or an optical illusion?
Either way looks solid and well made

There is a gap but he’s got a lot to work around the main thing is the downturn on the edge of the bed they have a bit of clearance. The only way to make it tighter to the bed is to make it short and inside that.

It’s very clean. Gap looks correct to me for a pickup bumper.

Used the Goat to haul 5 gallon buckets of water to put out the remnants of the fire I accidentally started today

I have a dump where I burn boxes and construction junk. It jumped out and got into the pine straw and took off. I found it after it was about an acre. I think I got it after it got about 2 acres.

This morning it was still smoking

Every year just before turkey season.

Yesterday would have been perfect conditions for a prescribed burn in this section of land but I was not anywhere close to prepared for that.

We have to many tees on the ground from last years storm to do it right.

The 60 is one of @jomelo ’s friends so I’m going to build it up and take it down there and bring the 45 back. We don’t have a motor for the 45 yet
