I haven't uploaded a video in a while, so I figured I'd record us using the WC12.
A friend of ours needed some Jeep parts out of his dad's garage, so we bought them off him to help him out. We were trying to figure out a way to get the engine block out of the back of my dad's pickup (so he could drive it to work tomorrow) without digging our cherry picker out of the garage.
The Dodge performed perfectly, and it was nice to put it to use!

Stay tuned, because we are going to be replacing the front drums here soon. When we drove the Dodge in the Snohomish Christmas Light Cruise last year, we determined the front drums were warped. We also attempted to adjust the brakes, and while we were successful in the front, we could not get the rear shoes to contact.
After talking to the guys at Vintage Powerwagons, we determined the best thing to do would be pull the rear drums off and measure the shoes and drums to see if the shoes are under-sized, or the drums are over sized. We also noted that .030 over shoes are available, but not recommended.
