Maybe it’s the aircraft style cockpit. Ever since I started flying I’ve become acutely aware of weight & balance.
So how is the recovery going mate - all good signs??I nearly resembled that remark. 150kg, anyway.
Down to 121 this week.
Yes, I am sure I have it here somewhere."Plus 2 heavies" - Pepper slinging salt.My guess is Ineos is not providing payload weights for the Trialmaster and Fieldmaster variants because they are (hopefully!) in the process of making changes based upon all the excellent feedback on the initial releases courtesy of this forum and other owners for model year 2024 and beyond. In other words, the payload for those trims (and perhaps even the base Station Wagon) is a moving target right now.
After thinking about this further - I could be dreaming, but for some reason I remember an early Grenadier brochure (not sure which country) that had an asterisk or sword icon or some other footnote at the payload figure that gave adjusted payloads for the TM and FM editions. Does anyone else remember that?
They make me want to be a better man
Yes, I thought it related to this.
If people get to see their vehicles right off the transporter there's a chance it may have a sticker with weight details:
I think we will be ok. Most of the time it will be just me (heavy) and my wife (light) dog, (light) a fridge some tools and clothes in the car. Most of the rest goes in the camper trialer which is only about 1.5 tonnes loaded. So all up should be fine.
These are both new Defender bits...yes you can bend break anything, but the quality of the aluminium castings and the "meat" on the parts speak for themselves:So, the elephant in the room - should the IG have been given IFS/IRS to free up payload??
Runs and ducks for cover……
Wow, so that’s the new 4 wheel steering feature on the Defender…
Autonomous steering, goes places you never normally would go
If that top one is a current one from the Defender FaceBook page, the owner claims it happened reversing off an 8cm kerb.
What, was he going 100mph?
Claims not, shows security camera footage of him reversing gently over a low kerb
I'm with you on this, the oxidation is well established on the lower portion, whereas the upper is still very fresh where the alloy failed. Now if thats because of prior damage or just an unusual progressive material failure in a single casting then thats different story, and to be honest we'll never get to the bottom if it.
