Looking forward to reading it old mate! You've inspired me to finally bite the bullet and sort the other recovery points on Tank. What is the laden weight with the rig fully decked out and ready to roll??

That's all I know. They're the numbers on the side of the truck. The heaviest things in the back will be about 150lts of water, a full 95lt fridge, plus all the recovery gear, plus all the food.
The heaviest things in the front will be me and the missus. lol.

Not that we're taking any tents, or swags, but they're not that heavy.

I wouldn't expect you will have any problems in your Rig Rossco with it being ex Telstra, it will have been decked out for heavy work loads.

Theirs always the "ITS A PATROL" factor as well......lolol

Safe as houses mate.

Thanks roofy.

Still contemplating whether or not to use the rod to double up as a sand flag. Got to unpack it and repack it. I basically did a dry run to see how most things would fit. Still gotta stock it up with food and other essentials. lol

G'day Rossco, I'm still looking out for the right vehicle.
A question about these ex telstra units like yours
In some pics I've seen there appears to be one or two lift up panels in the floor of the pod - are these for under tray access, or storage under the floor?

I may be going to look at one next weekend :) '06 & 150,000kms for $34k
