    Jeep Speed Goat TJ, the anti-build thread

    Seats look dynamite!! There’s really no explaining how hard they are to remove! I bet you haven’t found all the pine cones I hid in there!! I feel you with those beadlocks! I’d occasionally pull them off and sorta put air in various valve stems and hope for the best. Enjoying the updates man!

    Jeep Speed Goat TJ, the anti-build thread

    It did rock the 46’s in the snow fairly well!!! Width would be an issue on most anything with rocks though 😂

    Jeep Speed Goat TJ, the anti-build thread

    That’s true. Kind of a Utah wives/wife swap vibe goin on there 😂

    Jeep Speed Goat TJ, the anti-build thread

    That would make Greg the 7th. I think the 4th’s build is on here, the 5th just tinkered with it and sold it, I was the 6th and did the LS swap. Let’s see what number 7 does 😉

    Jeep Speed Goat TJ, the anti-build thread

    ALSO!!! I can’t remember the fuel pickup I used in the tank, it’s got pickups on either side and is pretty badass. I used a funnel to fill the tank, if you ever use Jerry cans god bless your patience Have a look at the skid plate, I have a 3’x5’ sheet of 3/8 that I’ll never do anything with...

    Jeep Speed Goat TJ, the anti-build thread

    Lol at speed goat. Not a bad moniker Just a heads up with the front winch - it’s ridiculously fast. You may want to look at keeping it vs a Zeon. And the seats are heated! More of a Canadian thing I guess. The steering reservoir bracket was welded on in haste without gas for the mig welder...

    Project "Swollen Goat" gets under way

    It’s still going! Got the 46” claws onto the 20x14 double beadlocks and test fit them today, no clearance issues which is shocking coming from a 40” tire. Doesn’t seem to be any room to go bigger though. I ran the lowest rpm stall converter that gm performance offered in the 4l70 power train...

    Project "Swollen Goat" gets under way

    The build will be slow, as the beers are many after a long work day and the fishing is world class. Not a bad way to spend the summer out of town?

    495 horse factory LS3 and 4L70! The mountain goat should enjoy her new power plant.

    Project "Swollen Goat" gets under way

    She's in good hands! There's some motor/tranny upgrades coming down the pipe... don't want to get into too many details for another week until I can post pictures Question about the atlas though, do you have the specs on it? (Input/output splines, driveline sizes etc.) Thanks and stay tuned!

    I want to drive/ride to Hyder, AK next year...

    That's the thing - Banff is cool if you're working in the area. Canmore, Jasper... Pretty well anywhere on the Alberta side of the mountains is the same. It seems staged and the tourism industry tries too hard to make it something better than what it is. It's cool to see once, but there are many...

    I want to drive/ride to Hyder, AK next year...

    If if you haven't been to Stewart bc or hyder Alaska (or kitimat bc)..... Go. The standing joke up there is "does a bear shit in the woods" and the answer is "no it shits on the road". I've seen 14 Grizzlies in one day in that country. The spruce are 8-12' in diameter and 250+ plus tall. The...

    Moab with a Hickey

    So... the story goes the wife and I committed to taking a 6-8 week vacation to tow the Jeep around and wheel "in the U.S" - with very little research leading up to the trip and lots of last minute mods on the Jeep. My work scheduled pushed about 15 days farther into September than I wanted, but...
