Nice write up Peter. It was a nice day to be in the woods, i really enjoyed it.

We got back at 23:00 last night after a "fun filled" fiasco of returning,  borrowing Mt. Zion's trailer and returning back up to RC then returning home again.  The Jeep is returning to Mt. Zion for some adjustments after the shake down trip.  It is the first time this jeep has actually crawled.  At least after I turned the idle speed down enough that the torque converter was not constantly locking up mid trip.  Just as the day was wrapping up one of the U joint caps let loose,  this popped the carrier bearing on the front drive shaft which also took out the transfer case shift linkage  looking around a LOT of fasteners were loose or missing.  Other than these minor annoyances the automatic transmission made a world of difference on the trail in this jeep.   Considering it still has the original heavy duty springs and manual steering, its a lot nicer than point and shoot method.

No 1:1 scale Sherman tank  here,  but there are TWO with in 2 miles of me and I do build some scale models, I am working on a "blown up T62 and a sherman tank model right now in fact.   The build threads are here and here on scale model addict forum.

Jeremy, Thanks for the Threads ,
I like body damage !
In my younger days the older folks thought I destroyed things (1:24 scale cars) how terrible they looked, but I would come home with the Blue Ribbons.
I had some beautifully wreaked NASCAR scale models mostly 1965 to 1970 vintage. One Dodge I had, when you pushed the button smoke would roll out from under the hood .

Peter, I read here that your going to rename your TJ.  I suggest "English Muffin."  Ya know, you can't go wrong being named after a food product!!! Get it?   Happy New Year!!!
