Lots of broken dual cabs up here..... from chassis cracks to springs and shocks. I look at so many and the way they load it’s not surprising really. They always seem to pick all the weight way behind the axle, jerrycans, fridges and the like because it’s ‘convenient to get to’. Nothing in the manual apparently to say that you keep the heavy stuff forward.
You don’t need to be an engineer to work out really do you?
With nearly all dual cabs it pretty hard to get weight in-front of the rear axle....including the 130Quote:

I think that is a pretty old pic,its been around for a while.Quote:

It happens to all makes, just speak to the people who do the recoveries - its user error that is largely to blame. Often those towing or overloaded.
I did the Simpson in mid June where I saw a few examples of user error. A good example was a young hoon in GU Patrol who'd lost his clutch cable and decided not worry about that... he was in a group who drove everywhere but on the track. I heard they ended up towing him out after he lost his gearbox.
