THIS site may well have come from a previous post on EO... The following extract got me thinking...

"There is no specific fine for overloading a 4WD but the driver of the vehicle can be issued with a summons to appear in court where the magistrate will decide if the maximum penalty of $2000 or six months' jail should be imposed."

With the remaining payload on my Triton(after bullbar, canopy and rear step) sitting at just under 1000kg, I feel quite happy that I'm not overloading. If as they state, a roofrack, winch & bar and a kaymar rear bar/spare wheel carrier on a Sahara or ST-L Patrol only leaves 300kg for people and stuff, what hope have you guy's got. I'm sure when the missus has finished loading the 110L Waeco, the bloody thing would be nudging 300kg on it's own...

And... A ford Courier can carry nearly 100kg more than the Ford F250... Who woulda thunk it...???

Moving right along, it's an interesting read and I'm bored so I thought I would share the spoils of my boredom with y'all...
