    Digger mentioned some time ago that SA Police were weighing 4WD and issuing defect notices for overweight vehicles. Not the sort of thing you want to have happen when you are away on holidays.

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    understand....but at lease I know where I am at unlike thousands of other touring rigs

    maybe I should increase the tow ball weight, would this decrease the front axle weight??

    Well I do - I run at GVM with 'perfect' front/rear axle weight distribution (based on the ratio of front/rear max axle loads).

    A couple of quick trips to the dump sorted that out

    PS I've seen the RTA weighing and fining passenger cars on the way to the ski fields to - they just waved the Deefer through though (probably cos ws were the only vehicle not dragging our arse!).

    I'm agreeing with you, I just wish the cost of the engineers report was cheaper so you could upgrade the rating and travel without worry or fuss. (or worrying about the fuzz!)

    Perentie front axle limit is 1300kg and it's just a stock rover diff.

    Just use the she'll be right approach and if it breaks just weld it up.

    What hemisphere is inside inside?

    The standard duty 2 planetary bevel gear hemisphere or the HD 4 planetary bevel gear hemisphere?

    Yes, increasing the load on the towball will reduce the load on the front axle.

    Remember your total weight doesn't change, so the extra weight from the trailer plus whatever was reduced from the front axle get added to the rear axle, i.e. there was no free weight reduction, just a load shift. Just saying ......
