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.

Hudson, made in NI.
Very sturdily built as you can see by the age of it. Not made of bean tins like some,

Towed for the first time with the Grenadier this week, only a short distance of 25 or so miles. Very impressed at the power when loaded up and the way the suspension handles the trailer, especially when empty as the Ifor trailer is like towing 3/4ton of rattling scrap behind when unladen!

It would be cool instead of connecting to the hinge they used the l track instead.
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.

Doors are only 40kg from memory on the utility belt
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.

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.

the explanation of the hinges was that they were permanently bonded to the door, and screwed into the frame inside the jamb.

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)

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.
aah, another minor mystery to distract us in the absence of car…
