well a jt can haul a cubic yard of soil. it wasn't happy but it did it, I only felt it bottom out once. im a long time cummins owner but downsized to a jt and still need my truck to work.

so if you are reckless like me here is proof it can be done and most likely shouldn't be done. im guessing it was about 2000-2200 lbs

The way you have it heaped, maybe a little more than cubic yard. How much does dirt weigh out there? Here about 110 lb/cu ft. Let me assume that is some nice organic topsoil, and it only weighs say 80 lb/cu ft. At 30 cu ft you are at 2400 lb, at least.

and Rubicon suspension is more forgiving than a sport with max tow, which might have seen less sag.
