    there is also the max axel weight if it matters, some don't care, but I have been mindful of where the weight ends up and sill tanks help put it onto unused front axel weight.
    Suspension also comes into the load ride if it's all on the rear. Set it up nice for expedition and it can be tough around town empty. Airbags solve this but it's usually more expanse that can be avoided if you like coils.
    Rear quater tanks also foul with 33" (255/85/16) tyres which many of us progress to.
    The sill tanks look like they can collect all sorts of things, but in reality with the bevel type they only fill the void that exists there anyway. Yes you can dint them but you have to be doing some pretty serious angles over rocks. If its a dirt bank they just slide along with the car and that's about it. These times are minimal for most of us.

    There is nothing wrong with a replacement a tank and rear quarter tanks, just a different way of doing it. Standard suspension is very good, but it's not the be all either. And many are happy with standard 32" tyres.

    Do the sums, everyone has a budget, but don't be in too much of a rush to build the new car. Do it once and right.

    Good advise there, I will do exactly that.

    What range are people getting out of the Mulgo rear 1/4 tanks? This could be an option as there is only 5 litres difference between them and a replacement tank.

    most people seem to get 10.5 to 11.5lt/100km at 100kph. Some do better but I certainly cant. 90kph is a different story though. Around town seems to be 11.5 to 12. In soft sand it can go to 18 so depends of what you up to.
    The 2.4's start to go through much more fuel at 110kph, and I'd imagine the 2.2 will be the same as it's a gearing ting.

    I really, really like the Camel Trophy front bars which fit on to the standard bumper, with the mesh around the lights.

    Could someone enlighten me as to where I could buy this, as I have googled it over and over and can't find somewhere to buy it..

    Thanks Sue, appreciated. I'll keep this as back up, I would prefer to find something in OZ, let's see how we go.

    Ok Monday it will be raising the seat, and changing the steering wheel.

    What would you guys recommend for the steering wheel replacement, the only places that come to mind for me is the likes of Supercheap, but I don't want something crappy..

    Who would stock decent steering wheels?

    Cheers,

    Babs.
