    Default Hand winch

    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 ..


    That little boat winch setup, has hundreds of uses you have yet to discover,
    ... enjoy it ..
    I hate watching simplicity and reliability being ruined by bureaucracy and technology.

    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.
