    Talk about high centre of gravity batman!!

    When I drove around Aust, I saw 4wds like yours everyday (And ALOT worse) .. if they had a small 4wd trailer, they would have been much safer at speeds, easier / lower for trees and more Airo,

    Not having a go at your setup, but if I had to carry that much on the roof, it would have been a trailer ..
