Default How much wood can fit in a JK?



Puns aside...I didn't think I was going to be able to fit all this lumber in one trip
I was repairing a fence section this weekend and I was able to fit everything in the back with room to spare...

So I'm just curious, what's the biggest load of cargo you've loaded in your JK? Pictures too if you have them.

So you are telling me that the back of a 4 dr is at least 4'x4'x8', or the equivalent thereof?.....Cause that's what a cord of wood is. I never would have guessed....

A cord is 4'x4'x8' if you have been paying cord price and only getting 18" you been paying too much. Besides i would be more worried about the wait.. A cord of dry wood can weigh 2000 to 5000 pounds. Ouch to the JK. I would not say it wont fit.. I just think it shouldn't .
