AMCJeepMJ Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 One Pallet of sod...they said i needed a full sized truck to handle the 2000lbs load! The Comanche just laughed the whole 15 miles back! I did 3/4 pallet of sod this spring, and had 15 rutted highway miles. It was swaying bad on the tired factory 2WD suspension setup. Ended up taking the back roads to keep it under 35 since it made me more than just a little nervous. Sod sucks to load and unload, and even more so when a canopy is on the bed.
knever3 Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 I raked the front yard and made one trip instead of many with the wheel barrow. Sure comes in handy.
thejum57 Posted November 29, 2011 Posted November 29, 2011 I don't really have pics of it working, but here's some of what it has hauled... all of this recently, all of this. Also both axles, trans, engine and transfer case, from an FSJ bark mulch, leaves, lawnmowers That thing is a work horse....2.5l, 5 spd too. I do have to downshift on hills with a load, but it gets me & the load there every time, could'nt live without it!!!!!
Vintage Posted March 17, 2012 Posted March 17, 2012 Pulling my brother-in-laws Dodge, pulling my brothers girlfriends Legacy, after the Dodge had gotten stuck in the yard. Piece of cake. :thumbsup:
JENSSEN Posted March 17, 2012 Posted March 17, 2012 Didn't get a picture of it hauling a box side, 2 cab corners and tail gate for its Comanche brother, but I did pick up a 4.0L engine and t-case today
JENSSEN Posted March 18, 2012 Posted March 18, 2012 This one?? Build thread: http://www.xjtalk.com/showthread.php?t=9215
Comanche County Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Did a little work with the MJ today. We hauled about 20 of these old RR ties back to the house. They're freakin heavy! We're gonna use them as a garden perimeter. Then, we set up a new American flag.
jpdriver1 Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 hauled my sons new tires/wheels for his grand cherokee --- yep those are 35"
xjrev10 Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 Brought the GF to work the other morning in the freak April snowstorm we got the other day. I ended up with about 10 inches at my house after it was all said and done. And when I got home...fired up the plowtruck and plowed the whole neigborhood.
one2hunt Posted April 22, 2012 Posted April 22, 2012 I am still computer challenged -I know it's 2012!- but I need to post pics of my little red truck. I bought it to replace my full size dodge van and it only occasionally leaves me needing more cargo room. I scored a $20 CL camper top and a free HD full size rack and made both fit . My truck carries all of my tools and loads of material. She's not 4wd and she's got the crappy Peugot 5 speed and dana 35 but so far all is holding up well. My truck is 100% rust free. I've gotten more ambitious lately and am gaining some mechanical confidence. You see I am a cabinet maker but mechanical ability has always eluded me. I have taken the molding off the drivers side of the cab and done a quick palm sander and spray can job. The paint on the old girl is hurtin for certain but I'm determined to give her a facelift myself. The hood and roof look like a golf ball thanks to a good ol Texas hail storm but the entire rest of the truck has 3 very small dents body wise. In my dreams, she'd be white instead of red-4wd, moderately lifted with a newer tranny and dana 44 in the rear. The most immediate projects on the list of to dos are a class 3 hitch and new injectors. I really appreciate this sight and all the info I have been able to aquire about my little red truck.-thank you all! :cheers:

Also the Puke-Goat and D35 ain't all that bad if you don't abuse her.
Blue88Comanche Posted April 22, 2012 Posted April 22, 2012 went to a local land scape store and picked up 1200 lbs of river rocks and 10 bails of pine straw.
JENSSEN Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 A spring clean up yesterday and ended up with a big dump run of yard waste
xjrev10 Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 How dare you not have that garage kept!! :fs2: If my 5yp would find a new home, I'd have room!
89 shortbed Posted April 29, 2012 Posted April 29, 2012 here's my 92 loaded for a delivery of jeep parts to my buddy in Pa
Herc Posted May 19, 2012 Posted May 19, 2012 Clearing rubble out of my Bro-in-laws back yard to make room for the new Deck That load was 2280 lbs of jack hammered concrete dirt and gravel!! Definitely earned its keep that day, this was only the first of two loads.
dasbulliwagen Posted May 20, 2012 Posted May 20, 2012 No pics, but in the last two weeks, Ive done 2- 1000 lb loads of stump grindings, and several trips full of garbage and or scrap metal.
