I dont think Rafa's was that heavy but it couldn't handle constant outback travel.
the replacement was bombproof carried all his extra's and returned very good
fuel figures.
Not a fan of travelling heavy as it brings so many other things into play,
saying that you still need to travel safe and not rely on other ppl unless its
something beyond your control.
My friend Ron travels the world in his extended dual cab 4.2 TD GU
and fully loaded for a CSR trip he maxes out just shy of 4t that's with 270 ltrs
of water and about the same in fuel, In this guise he's travelled Mongolia, Africa
and countless Cape trips and the Simmo.
Il have to ask what his GMV is being a dual cab
With over 500kg of weight being used as any trip progress's he probably tips the scales
at about 3200 empty
