The whole reason I got rid of my car in the first place was because it just wasn't practical for work for me anymore. I install vinyl siding for a living, and I have a lot of tools and random stuff I need to get around all the time, as well as all my scaffold.

Originally I had planned on getting a truck, since that's what pretty much everybody in the construction industry has, but my buddy, who's the used car manager at one of the local dealerships suggested I take a look at the JK Unlimited before I commit to a truck, and I haven't looked back!

So who else here uses their JK for work?

Here's a shot of mine at work


I apologize for the poor pic quality, I shot it with my phone

 

i do the field prep/ maintenance for my towns little league fields so that was one of the deciding factors for my unlim. always full of tools, liners, 50lb bags of chalk and Turface (quick dry)

 

I use mine to get TO work. Does that count?

 

I should add that I only got the trailer a month ago, before that I had all my tools in the back of the Jeep, and the back cargo area was PACKED! I also had to either borrow a trailer or a truck to move the scaffold around.

Having a trailer makes my life so much easier, and adds a whole new dimension of utility to the JK, both for work and just for my life in general

 

Sure, why not?

 

I'm retired, but that doesn't mean I don't work. I do lots of work on the 5-1/2 acre property on which my church is located. In late 2007, the severe ice storm that took out many trees in Oklahoma left plenty of work, including dragging trees out of the woods to the roadside where we could cut them up for FEMA contractors to haul away. It took almost two months, working most mornings, for me to get that all cleaned up (with some help from my son and other church members).

 

the parking authority and the city here in salt lake use JKs to work out of.

 

I use mine for work, I work on an 800 acre resort and the jeep gets to most areas i want to go and if not i take a horse or a dog sled.

 

that sounds like a really cool job

 

Definitely sounds more fun than my job!
