AMCJeepMJ Posted November 11, 2011 Share 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 Share Posted November 25, 2011 I raked the front yard and made one trip instead of many with the wheel barrow. Sure comes in handy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comanche County Posted March 26, 2012 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

one2hunt Posted April 22, 2012 Share 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
