Love it!     The photos in this thread have always been amazing,  so I am guessing your YouTube channel is going to have some great stuff too.     

It will be interesting to follow the progress of the sunset cabin. Smile

Ben, watched/ read your whole thread over the last few days. Amazing! Really enjoyed it. Love seeing the old Jeeps at work and play! You definitely use them the way they are meant to be used. The scenery is awesome and little Miller is a cutie. I'll subscribe to your YouTube channel. Best of luck with it and the B & B.Thumbs Up

Well I can now say I’ve driven a two cylinder flatfender!!
I had a terrible time getting desert Dog started the other day… when I was able to get it running I thought man this thing sounds like it’s only running on two cylinders?  It sounded smoother than the occasional three cylinders that it runs on. 
I was in a hurry to go check fence so I pulled out of the hayshed… it would barely pull itself through the snow in low range, so I drove to the shop. 

The irony if parking outside my big new jeep shop to change plugs was definitely noted!!
I don’t have time to open no stinking doors!!Confused
I changed the front plug that always fouls…..

Okay up to three cylinders!!
Alright one more plug changed and success!! Firing on all four cylinders Clap
Now to check some fence…


No fence repair needed….. okay some needed but none that couldn’t wait for nicer weather!
I’ve busted a lot of sage with this jeep, But never ended up with one stuck here!!

You always take these shots and no foot prints on how you got in front. LOL Better put a cover on the muzzle so you don't get mud in the rifle. Oilly

How about this?   Odd how it's listed both in pet shops and at porn shops (or so I'm told :) ).

Naaaa.  McMaster-Carr caps work perfect.
https://www.mcmaster.com/caps/caps-4/round-caps-9/

I've never pulled the trigger with one in-place but suspect it would just become another piece of shotgun wadding in the prairie.  With a hole in it----  They even fit well over muzzle brakes.

Oh, did I say I hate sagebrush????  But I must admit it has a fragrant oder when snugged up tight to the exhaust.
