dasbulliwagen Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Used it today to haul 1000 lbs of scrap brake rotors and wheels to the scrap yard.... $116.00! 13.5 cents lb for clean scrap.... I still have a full 4x8 trailer stacked with dirty scrap to take in yet. I count this as my fringe benefits from work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiNi Beast Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 assuming this is the RK set up looking at the tie rod, so question, did it come with the knuckle bracket to allow the drag link to be set up in this design? :hmm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vaquaro Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Installed a new wire-less Back-up camera (got it for X-Mas ) . Since I put on the Softopper , reversing was pretty much parking by brail but now its worry free . The unit has a infra-red feature so the screen image looks like daylight even when its pitch black at night :thumbsup: Also the signal booster picks up our local hiway cams placed at all the usual traffic jam areas :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJRemi Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 I can't find the thread about putting our MJs to work so I'll post it here. Hauled 1 yard of crushed brick weighing 1800 lbs in the 4cyl 89. The final feat was up a steep driveway and then a 90 degree back up onto my upper driveway. Piece O' Cake!!
