    Build rear bar from alloy over a reinforced steel mount for spare wheel to reduce weight.
    Use lightweight gear in the vehicle, microfiber towels, lightweight accessories etc...

    People carry far too much crap now...
    Couldn't agree more. It amazes me how much more crap we carry these days - and we pack light.

    Do like to carry a second spare though - the price of running on 19" rims, but I only carry a carcass.

    Cheers,
    Jon

    So which family members do I carry less of......?
    Might be fine if there's only a driver and navigator - but some of us have three teens in the back too - there's over half the load capacity right there in 5 passengers

    I don't think its legal to put a family member in a trailer....

    That was the original intent when I started this thread.
    I've set the car up 'mildly' for touring, (added a bar, 80lt tank, battery drawers, etc), plus family left me 150kg over GVM....before towball weight added (if required)

    I've now removed the rear seat, the drawers are on ebay, the drop slide got returned, the cargo in the van. The back of the D4 is now empty.

    So....I either don't fill the long range tank, or leave a kid behind. Like I said, if only a driver and navigator, very easy to keep under weight....

    (LRA rang yesterday to say they will respond in writing today about the towball weight included in GVM or additional to it)
