My wife just came off a long work day so I promised to take her in town for a nice restaurant dinner if she allowed me to grab some firewood on the way first. Check out how "Warrior" is squatting. I was a bit nervous, as I have only one stock rear axle bumper on the frame. I babied her the whole drive. New axle bumpers are on order. Very cold evening, but I warmed up pretty quick as I unloaded this beast in the dark. I felt too badly to leave her loaded with this heavy Ash all night.

And that's using a hydraulic splitter. Imagine the sweat you'd work up splitting all that with a maul, wedges and a sledge. Been there, done that. Character building work at it's finest.
gogmorgo Posted April 13, 2019 Posted April 13, 2019 Resurrecting this thread from 23 pages deep to post up more pics of hauling firewood. That much was noticeable behind the 2.5, but it definiely wasn't struggling. No idea how much weight it was... I was well into the overloads but nowhere close to the bump stops. I couldn't help but think about how this compares to what you'd be able to get into a JT Gladiator. It would likely handle the weight just as well as my 28-year-old springs, but a five-foot bed... I doubt the volume is there. Definitely not compared to a LWB MJ. And I'm also confident a JT wouldn't have made it so nicely around the corner into my back yard to unload at my woodshed. I unfortunately don't have a fancy hydraulic splitter so I guess you could say I've got my work... chopped out for me.
1989commanche Posted April 13, 2019 Posted April 13, 2019 Not really firewood but removing a tree. Then hauling the block for the wall that replaced tree.
1989commanche Posted April 13, 2019 Posted April 13, 2019 Long multi part project. Remove tree, build retaining wall, backfill build gate.
fiatslug87 Posted April 13, 2019 Posted April 13, 2019 Storage for MJ parts that won't fit in the garage or rafters.
Knucklehead97 Posted April 14, 2019 Posted April 14, 2019 The ol' girl saved me from having to rent A Uhaul when my wife and I moved into our house. With the tractor supply co trailer I rented for 25$ it took one trip for all of my stuff and one trip for my wife's stuff. My Jeep handled the miles on the interstate no problem!
Pete M Posted May 7, 2019 Posted May 7, 2019 I put my new truck to work right away. if you're going to be occupying most of the free space in the barn while I'm out of town, then you're now a giant shelf.
MJXJjeepguy Posted May 7, 2019 Posted May 7, 2019 MJ is my very first truck I ever owned, and it my first haul pile of trash lol
87MJTIM Posted May 28, 2019 Posted May 28, 2019 My Memorial Day became Labor Day. I replaced the roof on a shed this weekend. Took the trash the dump. Tip the scale with 920 lbs
JMO413 Posted December 27, 2019 Posted December 27, 2019 Bringing home her new axles. Definitely squatting a little bit.
thehomelesdepot Posted December 28, 2019 Posted December 28, 2019 Moving a pile of paving bricks from one part of the yard to another
Hudy Posted December 31, 2019 Posted December 31, 2019 Lots of weight over the past few years... my MJ served my entire home renovation, and now works my contracting business.
dante2 Posted January 1, 2020 Posted January 1, 2020 About 1200 lbs of garden soil and peat moss for the garden this last spring. Front end was a little squirrelly on the way home.

Knucklehead97 Posted January 4, 2020 Posted January 4, 2020 Not firewood, but wood indeed. 2 loads, 1 for the frame of the deck and 1 for the decking/railing.
