Overloaded?

(1/1)

Bush Tucker Man:
Just been browsing the 'defender50th' forum & foundthis 90

A bit low, wouldn't you say??

V8MoneyPit:
I would think the handling might be .... err...... interesting  :shock:  :lol:

Lumbering Jack:
I've never ever managed to sit my 130 on the bumpstops - despite having over two tonne in once or twice (not on public roads though  :roll: )

Litch:
Had my 90 on the bump-stops a few months ago when I was picking up ballast and yes, they do handle a little strange like that! Been very close many times but only actually done it once.

It is fitted with HD springs but I got so used to loading it up that I went over my usual amount by a considerable quantity and it was only when I noticed that I wasn't having to lift the stuff so high to get it into the back that I took a peak underneath. Sure enough it was on the stops (usually I leave myself an inch or so of travel!) so I removed a little weight but then drove it home more concerned about over-loading the axle than anything else.
