“ step away from the oil Bug” How funny! You two are always so fun to watch! Definitely want to see Bug wrench’n and getting dirty! 🤪

[@GoatOffroad]

I am definitely off oil duty! And you should see me getting dirty with the frame stiffeners! Much grinding and welding to come! Thank you for being such a great fan of the channel! You’ll be getting updates 1st on Patreon! A big surprise is coming and YOU’LL BE THE FIRST TO KNOW! ❤️🐞

[@alanseys95]

Bug I'm glad you both are feeling a lot better now.. And I will be watching the build

Thank you Alan!! We are 💯again and ready to get busy to bring you more fun with the build! ❤️🐞

@@GoatOffroad Bug you both are very very welcome ❤. Oh I don't know if I told you this but next week Thursday I'm going to have surgery on my left shoulder and y'all keep me in y'all prayers and thank you. And I still need to get my truck running right if there is anyone here from western North Carolina please let me know

The anticipated Goat build begins!! Can’t wait to watch the entire series and see the end result! Bug you are so fun to watch no matter what you’re doing! Very cool you guys have Josh to help you. Not just a friend that offers to help but has the proof he knows what he’s doing!

[@GoatOffroad]

It has finally begun 🙌 Yes, it is so nice to have helping hands that know what they’re doing!!

[@GoatOffroad]

It has begun! Despite Covid 🤕 That was an awful 2-3 weeks. But we’re back and ready to get busy 🐐💪

[@dieseldirt3994]

Thanks Dan! Us too! It was the most sick either of us have ever been.

[@SOLDADITO76]

I’d rather see Josh sitting in a pink chair vs wearing pink board shorts or pants. Good to see you guys are making head way on your build.

[@GoatOffroad]

😂 Parts are rolling in so it’s getting excited!

[@AyyLarry]

Finally someone who’s using a pre 05 Dana 60.

[@GoatOffroad]

We wanted narrow as possible. 5.5 backspacing too. The most backspacing we could figure. Doesn't look to wide going down the road 👍

[@DuddiesAdventure]

Time for 1 TON of FUN!!! It was cool to see that Ford Dana 60 tore down, I am so use to dealing with King Pin Dodge Dana 60s that I never looked into those ball joint style Ford Axles. Those are going to be some serious axles underneath the GOAT!!!! This is going to be a EPIC Build Serious! Yall are so Close to 10K Too!! Next stop 100K!! Great video yall, I can't wait to see the rest of this build series for the making of THE MOUNTAIN GOAT!!!! Oh and Bug........ Stay away from the Oil HAHAHAHA

[@GoatOffroad]

You always make the best sayings! “Goat Off-road Headquarters”. “Land Adventure Mobile” and now “1 Ton of Fun”. You know I’ll probably use that somewhere. Probably on Instagram- so you’ll never see it 😂 Those axles are BIG! And are going to look huge under the Goat! We’re keeping the stance as narrow as possible- we don’t like the “bulldog”- as I call it. People have cheered us to 10k but never 100k! I like the way you think 😎 Already editing for next Thursday 4pm PST! There is a big surprise ahead!!! 🙌🎉🎊 Thank you for being such an awesome fan! We’ll see you in September! ❤️🐞

i did a dana 60 teardown on my f250, the hardest part was that damn snap ring. i went through 3 different pairs of pliers until the snap on ice cream truck came around my shop. I spent the money on good snap ring pliers and they came right off. such a pain in the butt.

[@GoatOffroad]

😂😂 If only we would have listened. Could’ve save us some time. But now we know 😂

[@ProjectXJ]

I cleaned my axle up with a wire brush before i tore it all the way down. It got rid of the rust, dirt, and grime. It made it prettier while working on it. 🙂 I am all ready for my front stiffeners to be welded on, i am just waiting on someone to weld them.

[@GoatOffroad]

Wire brush works but when you have a pressure washer - quicker and more fun 😂 Today begins frame stiffeners 🤦‍♀️ We’re doing them ourselves but my shop said he’s having to charge 14 hours of labor to install them for a customer. 😳 No Thanks! I think we have the right tools for the job and hopefully we’ll be able to get a good start on them. I completely understand wanting someone else to do it, but there’s 3 of us. Wish us luck 😂

[@activemanishere]

I live in Tacomaand I'm currently building out a v8 zj. I am eventually going to swap in the 60 and 10.5 that I have. I would love to go wheeling with y'all when I get the initial build finished!

[@OldGriz708]

I would highly reccomend using OX lockers. They are the only ones that can be used even if something goes wrong. I think they call it their "drive out" feature.

[@GoatOffroad]

OX Lockers are great! No doubt about it. But we would want the cable engagement style and we don’t have the real estate. There are air/electric options but that is more money. We’re getting a good deal of the ones we chose - so it’s hard to pass it up. Builds are expensive as you know 😂

[@forreststrong797]

I'm running ox lockers front and rear in mine and my wife's cherokee they kick ass.

[@dieseldirt3994]

@@forreststrong797 - They are definitely one of if not the best with the manual engagement option.

[@GoatOffroad]

🤣🤣 I’m glad they had what we needed!

[@Uncle_Yukon]

@@GoatOffroad That's great, Auto Zone has lots of stuff. I have a couple lock ring pliers like those small red ones, I had to buy some good ones years ago. But I ment the grocery store you drove past. :-) LOL

[@Uncle_Yukon]

@@GoatOffroad Yes, but I didn't want to use the name of the store, just in case. 🙂

[@GoatOffroad]

@@Uncle_Yukon - good point. I removed it!!!

[@Mumblix]

ARB lockers? 4.88 gears? Or something more exotic?

[@GoatOffroad]

For answers to those- you’ll just have to keep watching!! 😂 But I will answer those questions over on Patreon first! 🙌🥰

[@chrishorning3937]

if it was me building it I would probably do 5.13s and an Eaton e-locker. in the circle of friends I run with the eating e-locker seems to have less trouble than any of the other e-lockers lockers, the ARB would also be a good choice as long as the line is routed correctly

[@GoatOffroad]

Oh, you’re getting warm. 😎 But not quite! We’ll reveal all of our choices soon! I think you’ll be happy 😉

[@chrishorning3937]

Of course I don't remember you saying what size tire you're going to.

[@forreststrong797]

1 ton axles are heavy! Lol. What are you guys doing for the brakes? I put hydroboost on my Cherokee and massive brakes front and rear I went kinda crazy on brakes with my new setup. But if you guys end up not liking the brakes or having issues the first thing I would do is take the proportioning valve guts out of a grand cherokee zj with rear disc it's very simple and there's lots of stuff online about doing it i think its a must when going to rear disc but some people leave it. You guys have a good brake booster your not really gonna get a better vacuum booster than the 95+ dual diaphragm xj booster. Some people use the master cylinder out of a dodge e350 van, the van one is shorter so you want the van one. I've actually preferred the stock 95+ master cylinder in a lot of situations, the larger bore van master cylinder will give you a stiffer pedal with less travel it really depends on the piston size on your calipers and how you prefer your pedal to feel. I've messed with a lot of cherokee brakes and I always use the 95+ booster and master cylinder it's a good upgrade on the older models. My current setup with the hydroboost is a wilwood 1-1/8" master cylinder with a wilwood adjustable combination proportioning valve. If you guys had issues with the rears locking up even with the zj proportioning valve you could install an inline adjustable proportioning valve which should take care of any sort of issue with the rears locking up. All this stuff is actually pretty simple, I thought I'd mention something to get you guys thinking about brakes if you haven't already. It's well worth getting the brakes dialed in perfect, you guys are gonna love having the bigger brakes.

[@GoatOffroad]

We haven’t decided on brakes yet. But Thank you for the info! If we have any questions we may reach out to you. You have good info 👍

[@forreststrong797]

@@GoatOffroad I'd be happy to help you guys if you need it, getting the brakes working right can be a real pain if your not familiar with everything but once you know what's going on its actually pretty simple. I think the hardest part for some people is making hard lines and hoses if you need to change things, but I actually really enjoy doing that stuff and making it look nice.

[@dieseldirt3994]

@@forreststrong797 - thanks for the input and the offer to give us advice as we get to that stage!

[@BackCountryWrenching]

Maybe I missed it but what year are the axles out of ? by looking at the locking hubs they must be early 2000's maybe ?

Hey there, thinking of you and you and your husband. Hope all is well and you get to making more videos soon

[@jfloydsea]

ARB lockers if you can afford em!

[@dieseldirt3994]

Well they are what we have/ had in the Goat before and absolutely loved them. Never had and issue with one not working.

[@GoatOffroad]

We love ARB! Never had an issue. What we go with next!??- you’ll have to keep watching 😉😂

[@ProjectXJ]

I know people love ARB lockers and they are a great product, BUT every trip i have ever gone on with people with ARB lockers, they are never working properly. There is always an air leak or the pump stops working or they have no idea why but they aren't engaging. I like my automatic lockers because they have never not worked, never!

[@GoatOffroad]

Nothing wrong with automatic lockers 😄 and we’ve never had problems with our ARB. However they were installed by a fantastic mechanic who stands by his work 🤗

[@dieseldirt3994]

Interesting. We used and abused ours and never a problem. But, like Bug said we had a guy that specializes in off road builds install our gears and lockers. Maybe something to it?!?

[@ProjectXJ]

@@dieseldirt3994 yeah, i think a little time and you might start having problems. One guy was blowing gear oil out his vent tube everytime his compressor kicked on. Turned out one of the seals started to leak in his ARB and it wouldn't engage anymore. If i ever got a selectable locker, it would probably be electric. But i am too poor for any upgrades right now. 😀
