I want to see a picture of it holding this mythical cube, probably with both front wheels lifted in the air and it's arse dragging along like a dog with worms 😉.

Just as well its not a Nissan, it would be in two halves by now.

He’s going to try it for a bit as is. Towball a pain but with reverse camera not too bad. He’s not an idiot so will be careful to load anything heavy over the wheels. 
 

It’ll be getting airbags soon. At the end of the day it might look odd but it’s no different than any recovery spec transit. 
 

fitted the tipper pump yesterday evening (nice strong bit of chassis handy where I plated it up where the body was rotten 🤣 All works, which I didn’t expect given the condition so bonus 👍🏻👍🏻

A cube of dry wood is 400kg tops. It’s not a truck for aggregate, it’s a narrow truck to get down driveways

with a cube of firewood and to help out around the farm. 
 

if he had any money he’d have bought one like mine 🤣🤣

I'm aware of the size of an L200, mine is sat on the driveway. It's a boat as it is without adding another 3ft after the tow hitch tho.

 

I would say reinforce the area around the fuel tank, as the tub provides protection and maybe mudguards as the mud will get thrown against the rear cabin vents and is usually covered by the wheel well liners.

Given the overhang the possibility of overloading the back axle will be high,
