Used it and the 8274 to pull up some old clothes lines in the back yard. Is work really work if you can use your jeep to do it?
I look for reasons to use it for yard work. Even a simple tree stump I could easily dig out, I wrap a chain around it and go...

I believe I have a few pictures in my build thread of me using it to drag some logs out of the crick beside me mother's house... I didn't take pictures of the little guys I cold have thrown around myself that I had hooked to the CJ..

Finally put my synthetic rope back on the winch.
Plus I adjusted the plate so I can free-spool it again and I fixed the broken winch out feature, turns out it was just a bad connection on the wire.

Took her wheeling in a local state preserve on approved byways. Apparently wandered a little too far off the beaten dirt/sand path, and got an invitation by the State of NJ to contribute $71 for failing to stay on a roadway.

At least I taught my sons how to be respectful to a state trooper and not make matters worse with an impounding and a call to their mom for a ride home.

I pulled the rear axle out of the CJ5 that I'm building from scratch, and cut the spring perches off. I tacked new spring perches on while changing my pinion angle...

rattle canned my front cross member and practiced with my hi lift jack. I guess the stock front bumper is strong enough for it because I jack it up under it and it didn't bend

Installed my new garvin front bumper and drilled and tapped to 1/4 20 holes in it for my license plate. I also installed some l.e.d.'s in a few sockets

Installed my brake booster push rod boot. Nothing like bending over , twisting and forcing yourself under your dash trying to remove a cotter pin and pry the push rod off.:rolleyes:
