Fully loaded weights
Hi guys,
I'm sure this has been discussed a million times but what sort of weights are you guys running when fully loaded up with all the gear?
I weighed mine at work last week 2.9 tonne. That was minus 120 l of fuel roof tent, awning, solar panel, food, camping gear, etc. I reckon with me an the missus in it I wouldn't get much change outta 3.5 tonne!
Its gonna be way over GVM but what do you do?

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

This is one of my next mods for sure. I've seen a 2011 CRD up on a hoist with RHS spring tower torn apart. If I didnt lose my last phone, I'd have pics of it. Luckily for the bloke Nissan came to party and warranted a repair. If it's true what he says, he had stuff all load at the back, yet it still failed.

Got the Superior braces bolted in when the suspension was done, I've just stared playing with airbag pressures but still got a bit of weight in gear to be added this weekend..
