Yah, almost all the politicians here are garbage commies. Shame. Signed and shared. Thanks
Bought a 1987 Comanche Sportruck new in early 87, had it until around 91 or so.......... traded for a Cherokee. Funny thing - the interior was so much like the Comanche. Loved that little truck. 4.0 5 speed 4x4
I sent him an email no reply yet would love to have open conversation
I'm in the Frankfort vicinity. A few years ago, my father and uncle and I went to eastern KY on an elk hunt. He harvested a 6x6 bull and it was so big that we got one of the locals to lift it with a backhoe loader bucket and lay it on a utility trailer for us. Quartered it up the best we could and stuffed as much meat as possible into a deep freeze in the back of the truck. Really fun trip...but a pickup truck is a must-have on a hunt like that.
A dream hunt for sure congrats
Care to share the recipe?
Come to my place - wild turkeys everywhere! Seriously, even in our yard and woods. My wife counted a bunch of 20 on her way to a friend's house this am.
I’m game, where ya at ?
A ways away from you - central Iowa. Have an acreage about a couple miles from the Des Moines river, a lot of trees, fields, grassy areas, good for hunting almost anything. We have deer, turkeys, whatever.
Pm me maybe we can set up something for vets to come out
You can stack just as high if not higher in the gladiator, you just tie down your load, which if you have a load higher than the truck bed sides you would want to tie down anyway. Try hauling plywood in a JLU or 8 sacks of concrete!I disagree. From what I have seen of the JLU (and correct me if I am mistaken, I have not driven one or been inside of one, the cargo space of the JLU is pretty good given you can stack items. I saw a video of all the stuff LiteBrite got into the back of theirs, it was impressive. With the truck bed, given it is fairly low siding, you can't really stack items. Heck, a set of 32" tires felt like they were about to topple out of my bed with every curve in the road.
My previous vehicle was a Honda Element. With the seats folded up you could fit ALOT of stuff in it. What it (and other comparable SUVs) didn't have is the payload of a JT (only 675lbs!) which is why I got the JT over anything else. Nothing had the payload, off-road capability, and looks, but mostly payload.
How do the actual numbers play out? The JLU has a listed 72.4 cubic feet of cargo area. The JT only has 25.8.
Now, I'm sure you can increase the JT's cargo space with a TrailRail system and add cross rails like this
But what the JLU will NEVER be able to compete with is towing capacity. It can actually compete with payload, as the JLU sport has a 1300lb payload rating and the others are in the 1200lb range. When loading up though, that 200-300lbs difference between JLU and JT can make or break your trip. Towing is where the JT shines, and is why I went with it. 7000/7650, or even 6000 for the overland, is double or more the parsley 3500 towing of the JLU.
