picked up a hand winch for $9.95 from one of those tool sales that go through towns working out of a semi. I found an old 1 1/4 receiver bar and a piece of ss that rotates 360 and welded them together with the winch. Then I tried it out in the driveway.

If I needed a winch to get my recycling to the curb,

.... the lazy collectors would never lift it up into the truck .. :D:D


That little boat winch setup, has hundreds of uses you have yet to discover,
... enjoy it .. :thumbsup:

You have a Wrangler too Earl? Thought your family only had XJs.

that is a 2012 4 door wrangler right hand drive that belongs to the next door neighbor who is a rural carrier for the USPS. Nice job eyeballing it.

Your mail carrier rolls in style. Ours drives a late 90s Grand. Love seeing mail carriers though always rocking Jeeps.

He had a right hand drive Jeep Liberty before the Wrangler. Bought it from a guy named Postal Pete who has a lot full of postal jeeps in Illinois I believe. He drove out there to pick it up. He said the best he got out of it was 15MPG. I think it was and 04. He puts like 125 miles a day on the jeep and works 6 days a week.
