Weight of a fully modded touring GU.
OK. I have used search and can't get the answers I am looking for. If this has been discussed before please direct me to the thread.
I am just sorting stuff out here. I know that the legal payload on a GU Patrol is not great. So what does your fully set up GU tourer weigh? By set up I mean bull bar, winch, sliders, rear bar with twin spares, cargo barrier, drawers, long range tanks, roof rack, awning, water & camping gear.
I have done a few quick calculations on paper and the numbers always come out over loaded. It is my understanding that a GVM upgrade is not possible now with the new laws. When my time is right, I will be building a GU tourer but I want to stay legal as far as weights etc are concerned. Also insurance problems arise if overloaded and an accident is involved.
I hope I have given enough info to spark up good answers. Thanks.
