**OFFICIAL MJ'S EARNING THEIR KEEP THREAD**

[brucecooner]

Hauling its new Aisin to the shop.

 

Later, hauling the leaky old BA back from the shop.

 

[pizzaman09]

Taking out fence posts.  Still had 1" to the bump stops.

Sure is a blast running around in a little truck that can haul ! Before being part of CC I've hauled off huge loads of random junk and rock destined for the landfill. Wish I documented those times because of how full it was loaded.

 

But most recently, mine has been a real help on a summer front yard project.

Aww yeah. Excellent use case

Recently brought my son's rebuilt 302 back from the speed shop (going back in his 95 F150).

The Heartbreaker did squat a little, but drove like the lump wasn't even back there.

Firewood season is upon us! 
 

 

[WranglerMangler]

I’ve been hauling home topsoil from my job site for yard repair. I’ve hauled maybe 6-7 loads home like this. 

Just fill it up until it spills over the back right?

10  24x24" cement patio blocks and a 60# bag of stone. Hardly squatting, but I could definitely feel the weight.

 

[Htchevyii]

The old MJ took us on another 1500 mile adventure without any issues, so I'd say that it earned its keep!

[Salvagedcircuit]

Sometimes I gotta stretch the muscles and help the payloader get un-stuck

Just kidding.

A half yard of moist road mix base material just about loaded the Comanche to the bump stops. Looks like it did break an almost new rear shock.  Anyone know how to contact Monroe about their warranty?

 

Pro tip: be careful not to hit your big toe with the tamper when placing the material...

Hauled off +900lbs of tree trunks in my short bed.  The metric ton leaf packs from Geneal Springs just laughed and shrugged.  Plenty of clearance left.

Aww yeah

[pizzaman09]

It was a slow drive, but a 12ft long pallet was moved in my short bed a few miles on back roads.

[pizzaman09]

Drove 400 miles to Philadelphia, loaded up the MJ with a bed full and drove it 400 miles back home.  I'd guess we were near 1000 lbs. Handled it well with only hitting the bump stops two or three times.  Got 20 mpg on the way down and 18 mpg on the way up to home.

Aww yeah! Lookin good the entire way 

[Eagle_SX4]

Used my new winch/bumper to pull this stump out of my parents yard. My dad cut all the visible roots off and, it still put up a fight pulling it out. It was a 24 year old Bradford Pear.

(In the bed of my dad's '89 Chevy K2500)

[ThreeComanches]

Hauling off weeds and grass with the ole '86 Turbo Diesel.

Well, the old MJ survived almost 2600 miles of diving to and through the NV desert while loaded with a week's worth of supplies and gear. If that's not earning it's keep, I don't know what is.

[WranglerMangler]

Just… CommuteChe things. 
 

 

 

[WranglerMangler]

Drove from Seattle to Missoula then south into Idaho for a week long 1500mi hunting trip that was successful.

Farm truck doing farm things. 75 gallon fuel tank is no longer in there. I have a scale ticket of it weighing right at 5k. It honestly handled the weight great!

Looking good hauling a lot of weight.
