    My thoughts nowadays.

    I was always a “draws, fridge slide & barrier” set up kind of guy.
    Vehicles always fitted out fully.

    Now it’s stackable Heavy duty crates, tie down straps and minimalist gear that must do multiple functions.

    This has dramatically lowered my carried weight.

    Still researching. Talking to my indie tomorrow.

    I just noticed that the OEM rear strut air bag/ shock from Advanced Factors in the UK is listed as weighing 10kg. (Cost about $350 each).

    However, the Arnott rear strut from the USA has a listed weight of 12.9kg. Are things just more dense in the US or do these Arnott units have some kind of heavier duty rating??? Just sent query to Arnott with questions on cost and shipping. Front Struts are 10kg (Arnott) vs 8.8kg (OEM).

    Packaging often included in the weights I find.
    So depends how AF is weighing in.
