What I can't fathom is all that crap in the back of the wagon with nothing over the carpet!!
Even if my carpet was trashed my OCD wouldn't let me set stuff on it without covering it.
Oh the pain.......

Agreed. I keep a shipping blanket in my wagon at all times, just in case.

Once pop and I filled the back of a volvo 240 wagon w/ cinder blocks. I think I later calculated the weight to be 1400#. The steering felt a little light

With or without the water in them? WITH water would be very impressive indeed! That'd be like over half a ton.

ok, I got pics. now bear in mind this is about Quantity, not Quality of a load...


first pic shows how level the thing rode... SLS Hose repair with 6G2 hose overwhelming success!

OK, next picture shows what was inside this puppy...



OK, not a very good show of contents... let me describe...
it's a GM 6.5 turbo diesel with all brackets accessories and the 45Lb flywheel and pressureplate installed... and about 5000 of these... anybody want one?

here's a better pic of the motor...

oh, and did I mention there is a toploader NV4500 5 speed tranny in here too?
no pic of it yet, it's still buried under the pull handle tools.....
another pic of the motor...

oh, and me and my father were in there... drove it about 100 miles no issues other than a touch bouncy compared to empty, and it tended to wander on the road a bit above 70mph...
oh and the piece de resistance???
this is a N/A 79 td...
amazing power this little 5cylinder motor has!
