a little advice please! hilux related

weight issue seems to be a bit strange, same chassis????

ill look into the winchmax, ideally one up front and one under the body at the back...

 

even the new ones are 2500kg. I think they give the king and double cab a higher gross kerb weight to take the passengers. and give a tonne pay load for tax reasons and allow a cap and towbar to be fitted.

i wouldnt be a fan of rules like that but the laws the law i suppose!

I am with you, but if we load ours with 2 cu metres of green beech its lacking in the brake area ( about 800kg ) . May have a faulty load sencing valve we worked out the other day.

thanks, its the job but the body is veeeery heavy!!

[gensetsteve]

Getting rid of the skirts will lighten it. Leave the spare wheel at home. My body is heavy but if you make them light they dont lift and can twist.

ill see how it works out, trimming the body mightnt save that much weight, the crossmembers and stuff is where the big weight is!!

more pics tomorrow... anyone happen to have a suitable winch bumper??
