How to bend a ute

This is what we did on the same trip to our Hilux, why I sold it and bought a live axel vehicle!

This camper had 2 large boxes on the front (Tool + fridge) and then gas bottles. The wheels where near the back of this contraption so depending on what he had stored in there (generator? chainsaw? etc) the weight would have been on the rear of the ute. Not sure what he had in the tray either.

I think its good advice even though I have not followed it. By the time I had put all the bar work and drawers in the wagon my tare was up over 2.8 tons. :( Still don't know what I weighed when I left Adelaide fully loaded.

A member here has one of those extra long draw bar campers, looks very weird
but in regards to the tow bar it was the long towing tongue they were referring to.
Makes you wonder how Jase and Simon from All for Adventure went with the dual cab 70s and Hilux.
They were well over weight

We had to repair one of those on the Madigan line, also saw 2 others at my dare

Air bellows are fine when used as a "helper" at like 40 psi to the ton but when idiots see a 100 psi max they put in 99psi,changing the bulk of the load location.
They need to explain the proper use and consequence of them better when purchased. I've had them in 3 cars over 6 years and have had them over loaded up to 400kg and never had an with issue with them though I did strip a ring and pinion going up a hill but that's another story!
