tommer Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 hello Pugwash's brother here. I am totally new to the whole forum thing, hence the fact that i posted before i introduced myself, so sorry. Anyway, here goes. I am based in Cornwall, and have a 1994 300tdi 110 defender. It started as a standard H.C.P.U, and is now a drop side tipper with uprated springs and helper springs to give me a payload of about 1.75 tonnes! I have a P.T.O. superwinch (H14W) on the front as i kept burning out the X9 i had previously, so i also have 90inch rear springs on the front to take the 100 foot of wire. I cant use plasma rope as the truck is used for work which is forestry based. The truck is shod with 285/85/16 BFG mud terrains on weller eight spokes. It has turned into a bit of a monster over the last few years! It works hard for its keep, doing about 20000+ miles a year, towing a lot, and off road loaded regularly- to the tune of a clutch every year, and a recent trip to the weigh bridge to find i was slightly over the limit at 8.1 tonnes! Still, 'when the needs must...the devil drives!!!' Oak is heavy stuff when green! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

honitonhobbit Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Oh god not another one! BTW your legal on road payload is still 1 tonne unless go through an SVA to give it a new agreed payload and that would mean chassis mods, suspension mount mods, different axle blah blah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
