Right... ive been on photoshop!
Ive always been a fan of the URAL 4320 -
So then i got to thinking -
This diagram is with the rear extended by aprox 12 inches, and the top extended by similar (not exact measurements, i just did the diagram by eye)
Then i got out photoshop...
This is our actual truck -
And this is a photoshop hack of it -
(first with just the rear extended)
And then with the top extended also -
Points -
I know it wont be an original 101. It wasnt when i purchased it, and, since then, its moved further and further from that point, and im fine with that.
It will raise the center of gravity. I think ive probably lowered it against a stock 101 ambulance, with the diesel engine, and (to be fitted) aprox 3.5x capacity fuel tanks. There wont be anything of significant weight on the rack - empty jerry cans, empty grey water tank, etc.
It will cause more drag. But the vehical is a brick on wheels anyhow, so these things are all relevant.
What it will do, however, is make it much nicer to be in for extended periods. Im thinking that's worth it, but id be interested in comments before i start anyhow?
