Best MJ story- 

When I first got my truck, I pulled it out from under a pile of junk in a guys garage. I didn’t have room to store it at home since I was about to start college so I stuck it out in my friends field. It sat there for about a year before we tried to load it up to take home. The trailer didn’t have a winch so we used a rope and my tj. My friend didn’t get it lined up right so the front fell off the ramps with the back still sitting up on the deck. It bent the steering and about made my friend inside the truck steering crap his pants. We started over and it was still crooked so we ended up having to Jack the rear up and slide it across the deck. I’m amazed looking back that it didn’t turn out worse but we got it home and vowed not to do that again

 

CC is Awesome! Why? 

Lots of great information and friendly advice
