I hauled a lot of firewood on trailers with my mj. Mostly local (30-45mins) from home. It will tow fine, you just have to remember it is a midsize truck built during the fuel crisis. It is definitely not good for heavy trailer loads but will handle smaller stuff just fine. I have to agree with everything else that was said. MJ's rule the truck world.

Have we firmly established the gender of said truck? Can play a big role in the naming process.

Another vote for the azzy's shifter.

Can I send $5 for the one on the left in the first pic?

I'm soo sorry. I completely forgot about glad you found one.

Our cooling systems will work fine in stock form for a stock truck. start lifting or adding bumpers and you effect the capability of the cooling system. I run a stock system with the exception of a mac's aluminum tank (fancy open system swap). No other mods. Clutch fan with stock aux. electric fan for the a.c. No issues. If your having cooling problems it's most likely a sign of underlying, bigger issues. If I could obtain a good plastic expansion tank I would have been satisfied with the closed system. The mac's tank seemed to be the simplest and most bulletproof solution. So far so good.

Good chance I still have mine although, mine was a tj shifter which is taller. I will try to remember to look when I get home.

This is getting exciting..... I mean it was already exciting, now is more exciting....... Anyways, I'm excited.

Wow. Cleanest floor I think I have ever seen......

I had a small leak at my water pump to lower hose connection for years due to a faulty hose clamp. Didn't find it till I pressure tested the system. It never dripped on the shop floor. It was only evident by mysteriously disappearing coolant. I even did a probably unnecessary head gasket trying to fix it.

I don't know if there is room but I wonder if you roll the window down and pull the window sweep off, will that leave enough room to reach down in with a wire\tool and hook the opener rod? Short of that it sounds like your pulling a door panel with the door shut. This is not a fun undertaking. I did it to an xj once in the junkyard. I hope I never have to do that again.

Running and driving is a huge success in cj ownership. once that hurdle is cleared the rest is all gravy.

Hauled the yaks. had a great time.

Loaded it with 2 of the 3 kayaks it will be hauling tomorrow. Should be a good day on the water.

I assume you would just pay the painter to travel out there.
