get the yard to use the forklift
but if I'm at the house, I screw a couple 2x4s to the existing 2x4s to make a ramp off the side of the trailer. they don't weigh much so it's pretty easy to slide up the ramp.
and here I sit, getting happier and happier that my folks opted to get the lifetime mopar warranty on the durango... I'm not fixing anything like that!
plenty of guys have added protection that goes from the bumper towards the tire as sort of a continuation of the rocker guards. pretty sure there's a company that makes them. Dirtbound maybe?
dragged home a brown one yesterday. plus some other fantastic booty including carpets, rockers, tweeters, rollbar brackets, a 91 clock pigtail (been looking for one for a long time now), and (drum roll please) an XJ passenger power seat!
