Well it's a hell of a lot of money I would have thought.

Cool, wasnt sure if you meant that it was a good price for $3k or expensive for that sort of thing. Will be interesting to see what the cost is for similiar that Tombraider maybe doing,

Regards

Stevo

3 Grand for the Kamar Bar!!!!!

I'm sure Glen from Brother's Offroad could make a custom bar with better clearence for less money :rolleyes:

D3 has in integrated tow hitch which is part of the chassis and you cannot change it.

Trick looking bit of gear...


But Disco 3..... 2 spares on swing arms on steel rear bar... the bullbar ... plus extra 110 litres fuel tank

You'd be up and over the 3 tonne mark before you tart to pack :eek::eek::eek::eek:
There goes the GVM

I disagree MArk. Have a look at my post on GVM. The D3 has a load capacity of 800kg.

Well do the rough math...

D3 payload 800kg

-bullbar 60kg
-rearbar 60kg
-2nd spare 30kg
-110l LR fuel tank(full) 140kg

thats 290, leaving 510kg

Sumo driver eg me = 140kg
Diminutive wife = 60kg
2 kids @ 45kg each = 90kg
Fridge & food = 50kg

510-340 = 170kg left to play with

Damn close!!!! But doable.

My defender runs to 2600kg with 1/4 tank, no fridge, no fat ballast (me)

Ready to roll shes well over 3.2t

My sums where similar to Mikes... only I saved 32Kg in the drivers seat:D

I think you would manage to stay under GVM with some care.... but 800kg plus a D3 is still a heavy bit of gear!!

I ran into a guy last year at Coward Springs (Just south of William Creek). He was whinging he had blown 3 tyres on the disco 3.... his problem as I could see it was too higher tire pressures with 4 adults a disco 3 loaded chockers to the roof plus a roof rack full of gear. ... he must have been near or over GVM.... putting so much more pressure on those tiers to perform.

Jamo - don't think I'm knocking the Disco 3.... I reckon they are awsome... but with all that gear on board..... not sure I'd want to dig one out of a soft Robe beach!!!!:eek: :eek: :eek:
