Bloody hell! You lot! And I was sweating it when I put 2 ton of planks on my L200?

Don't know what it weighed but don't reckon it was anywhere near 2 ton! 26'' x 8' 6'' larch felled 3 years ago, anyone care to guess?

under a ton, sorry not a guess in the truest sense of the word

fresh felled would be in the region of 1030kgs and if its been down 3 years and its lost 20% moisture it would weigh approx 824kgs,

Better get a mod to remove it from the overloaded thread then

Doesn't sound so bad until you think about the leverage of that overhang. That rear axle must be way overloaded

But crucially the pickup does not look overloaded(though from the loading, it looks like it should), based on the "stance" of the vehicle, which is borne out by Bill's comment re the surprisingly good steering.

I think it’s clearly someone trying to branch out.
