There's less chatter and more build coming up, I promise.
The plan was to spend the next day at Dollywood since I'd never been and my wife had worked there for a summer. I knew the Jeep wasn't able to make the trip so I made the call to rent a car while we figured out what to do with a...
Appreciate that! I got the rest of the trip update written during lunch today and then its back to the regularly scheduled fabricobbling and tinkering.
Road Trip Day #5 (aka Tuesday)
We had 2 days in Knoxville so I got to plan one and my wife the other. So I did the right thing and took us to Windrock, which was only 45 mins away. The general plan was to see the scenic overlook on G9, grab lunch at the prison and possibly hit Caryville Flatts...
Appreciate it! I plan to bring this rig down to your neck of the woods and hit BOP once the 8.8 is swapped in this spring.

The first 'test' of the TJ was to go on skidder duty at the lake dragging cut trees onto the bank to be cut and hauled off. I loaded up my 5x8 utility trailer with saws, chains and a tools, cranked the A/C up and hit the road. The trailer and contents might have weighed 800# total and the Jeep...
