Is that lady taking out a tail light assembly from a Freelander 1?
Funny that because I definitely see some Freelander when I look at it...now I can't unsee it.
I thought I would like the look of saddle bags but I don't. I do like their functionality and the fact that they add to the load carrying and as BR says they would be good for recovery straps, gloves, etc.
As for load I am pretty sure some Defenders and Counties came with a 250 to 300kg capacity that was not reduced for off-road. The Triton I am picking up today says 80kg roof limit and there is no fine print as to reducing that to off-road. With alloy bars that allows 70kg plus of tent, stretchers, fishing gear etc. I'm very happy with that.
There is no reason why the fat air suspended 110 should not be able to sustain 100kg in all conditions.
Defender 1 would have been a pig with the full weight limit on the roof. For a tall vehicle 80kg or so would be max and my preference with my lifted D2 has been to stick with the factory limit which is 50kg in touring including offroading.
Cheers
But he forgot one thing,up until the kids are a certain size/age they have to sit in booster or baby seats,which I doubt will fit in the front.[thumbsupbig]Quote:

Mate my family is 5 and all my mates and family have 4 to 5 so I always think of second row up.Quote:

(I could have sworn something about this popped up recently in relation to some Perenties - and Jerry Can's on the side of them). Anyway - I can't wait to see this thing in the flesh. Some cars look crap in photos and better in the flesh, some cars look great in photos and crap in the flesh.. Only time will tell.
I am worried about BR though - what's he going to do after the big release!? [wink11]
My old 130 (1995) had a plated tow capacity of 4000kg in the handbook and on the tow hitch
So what was that about ladder vs New tech body?
The panier bags are a little naff albeit useful... bit of a risk of getting whacked on tight tracks though and definitely hinders blind spot on the outside

ho hum
Towball 150 kilos included in the payload I think from memory. I'm at work and can't check.Quote:
