Maaaaaaaaaate you want me to post you some red dust to throw around. LOL looks good. And all the toys you've bought will only make it better. What sort of a lift does the Sax give you and hope you allowed for the weight of the LR fuel
tank and
water tank that will no doubt be not too far off being ordered?
Cheers
Dunc

Hey Dunc, you wouldn't believe the amount of calls and emails I have done regarding the
suspension, it is a huge ask to find something that will be comfortable to drive for 8 months a year with just an Aluminium tray, and still be able to carry 600 kgs plus for around 4 months a year over all kinds of roads/tracks/corrugations etc. The Sax gear I ordered is their Heavy Duty option, which should bring it up about 70mm at the rear and 45mm at the front, I have measured it all up empty and had it on the bathroom scales (had to get bigger scales since we moved, the food, ah the fooood, mmmmmmmmmmmmmm).
Anyhow, just hope I made the right choice! Decided to have a 100 litre diesel
tank made to fit under the tray to gravity feed the factory 76 litre
tank, and a 60-70 litre
water tank will be fitted inside the Canopy. The Company making the the Canopy will be making the tanks too, I'll write up a bit on that when they start construction in the next few weeks. Wild Moths couldn't keep us away from WA for the 2014 Australasian Safari, via the route I emailed you about, we'll be leaving the Apple isle first week in July for the run over so we still have a bit of time to get it all sorted!!! Be good Dunc, CYA LATA, A & G
