What have you carried in your TJ that was too big?

[Plumber1]

Well a couple weeks ago while at my cabin my wife asked why do we not have hot water. I said I will check the heater and sure enough it was out and leaking. So being a plumber it was no big deal on the install. The issue was it was a Saturday morning and 2-1/2 hours away from my wholesaler's. So I found one and a local wholesaler about 45 min's away. Now the only problem was I didn't have access to one of my work trucks, and driving up to the cabin in my wife's E350 that also did not work. So I told her no big deal I will take the jeep. . So I removed the spare tire not wanting to have the additional weight on the tailgate, and took a couple of long 2x6's off I went. Picked up the new heater and the guy helping me load asked how far are you going when I told him where the cabin was he
just . Well I slid the 2x6's under the heater so it was not hanging unsupported and a few ratchet straps offI went.

Who ever said you need a LJ my TJ has plenty of room

That looks like something I would do.

I once transported a stacked washer & dryer unit in my '97 Sahara. I had the top off and folded the back seat down, then 3 friends and I lifted the unit in position while a small crowd gathered to observe. We leaned the unit against the soundbar and secured it with a tow strap. The Sahara was white, the unit was white which made the combo look like a glossy missile launcher. Only had to drive a couple miles and whipped many necks along the way.

I hauled a recliner to deer camp in November. it didn't require quite as much ingenuity.

Plumber1 has a great picture. Totally different than what I had pictured while thinking the spare was removed to lose weight because the water heater was going to lean on the closed tail gate.

Jpodell's picture would be better if granny was sitting in the "back seat".

I think it was @StG58 who carried a washing machine or a dryer one time. I remember the photo but can't seem to find it immediately.

Edit: Found it!

Where's the generator?
Or does it work on an inverter.

I helped a pal of mine in FL move about $5k of lumber from Home Depot to his house for a renovation with his '99 SE. 10' 2x12s strapped to the roll cage, bags of quickcrete, couple of 6x6 posts... The Home Depot dude refused to help load because of liability & they all looked upon us in disapproval as we loaded the TJ until the rear tires were about stuffed. He only lived a few miles away so we took the back way slowly with me following just incase something came loose. It was FL, normal ops down there anyway.

My Fat Ass, I'll spare you by not posting photos.

 

[Ken Perkins]

always thought you had to haul water heaters standing up...I would have hauled like tworley did

Not in my TJ but in my old FJ-40. My then gf now Wife, with help from her bros, we moved sxs fridge one day.
Another time a buddy and I loaded up 2 full sized mannequins that I rescued from a wreaked service truck and took them to the Lytle Creek shooting area. Fun then but now it might be considered disturbing to some.
