   When I purchased the Jeep, it had been sitting for decades. I uploaded a video on YouTube documenting the repair process, then this separate one for the first trenching. It was a bucket list item. The Jeep now resides on a farm in New York alongside a very large collection of vehicles from all over the world.

   Thanks for posting, this was the first time I've seen a Jeep a trench in operating condition. Sure shakes the daylights out of the Jeep. Understandable why so many of them gave up the ghost.

   Nick, not sure how I missed that was you. My bad! You did a good job of capturing it.
