That thing looks perfect! I’m a retired Army Infantryman and I also restore vintage Military Vehicles. I started when I began my tour on Recruiting Duty in 1993 and after 31 MV’s the last one was done in 2010. I mention all this because I’ve owned and restored 4 M-561’s, they were all in good shape and the engines were in excellent order which made the work mostly superficial. One of them required some serious effort but the price was too good to pass up at $1,500 in 1998. I lived in Klamath Falls, OR then Eureka, CA and Pt. Mugu NAS, CA over near Oxnard, CA. So if by some weird chance you got one of my former vehicles, that would be freaky, lol. One day I got the bright idea to drive the Goat on a 45 minute drive to work at LA MEPS in 98 and all on the freeway, I made it there and home in one piece but never again. I can highly advise that when you go on longer drives with the Goat to stop every 45 minutes and tighten the lug nuts (3/4” socket) so a wheel doesn’t come off and pass you on the road. If this does happen, just take one lug nut from the other wheels to re-secure the wheel and continue the trip. God I wish they had power steering for that thing, lol.
