Now I used to do that at our previous house which had a very long tarmac-ed driveNot quite up to the full rating of the hitch, but an important towing test passed with flying colours!View attachment 7821267

Curious whose make of cattle trailer is that, not familiar with it.View attachment 7821431
Sat a bit high when hooked on but with a couple of tonnes of heifers it levels out reasonably well.
Tows like its on rails.
That last pic looks to be the perfect size trailer!I think this might have been the one at Devon 4x4 having the Redarc fitted...

Folding step?Whats bolted to the door hinges?
It would be cool instead of connecting to the hinge they used the l track instead.Folding step?
That vehicle doesn’t appear to have the l-Track /utility belt, but I don’t think the utility belt has a weight rating high enough for a large man.It would be cool instead of connecting to the hinge they used the l track instead.

Yeah these hinge mounts are very solid, as they brace vertically in 2 locations, and right on the hinge point of the door. I think an Ltrack version will have to be heavier and larger to achieve the same rigidity.Doors are only 40kg from memory on the utility belt
Those hinge bolts (painted) we have been told are not removeable, to avoid the security issue defenders had of being able to take the doors off. So that ‘device’, branded overland attached with new bolts, apparently into the ‘cosmetic’ bolt spaces, is still puzzling me… now for 2 reasons.That vehicle doesn’t appear to have the l-Track /utility belt, but I don’t think the utility belt has a weight rating high enough for a large man.
Well there is already a company offering replacement hinges ( god knows why) so I think that is incorrect information ( I had heard it too, but apparently wrong)Those hinge bolts (painted) we have been told are not removeable, to avoid the security issue defenders had of being able to take the doors off.

the explanation of the hinges was that they were permanently bonded to the door, and screwed into the frame inside the jamb.
Or could it be the replacement hinges are a con? Who knows; neither possibility makes sense, why would you design the car to be able to dismantle without permission? At the very least, turning those boltheads will stuff up the paintwork on both bolt and hinge.Well there is already a company offering replacement hinges ( god knows why) so I think that is incorrect information ( I had heard it too, but apparently wrong)
