hello!

I'm looking to hang 60kg of the back of my disco. It's a dirt bike and will have a bike carrier and I was wondering if this is too heavy? I have a 2" terrafirma lift kit and was thinking of putting the spare on the roof if needs be?

Had anyone done this before and can you still go off-road with it attached?

I have a detachable platform mounted on my tow bar which holds two people when were out shooting, never had any problems off road slight grip loss going up a steep gradient but I don't have serious off road tyres fitted I am 18 stone and my friend is about 11 and the disco copes no bother

That sounds awesome I'm hoping the 2" lift on my terrafirmers will also increase my rear axle carry limit

It won't. Max rear axle load is 1720 Kg with coil springs. 1800 Kg with self leveling suspension.

Think you are confusing load capacity with axle weight capacity. The body and running gear are not made from Helium.

Picture was from the tinterweb but it says Rage on the side. It will be from the tea spoiling tax dodgers from across the pond

I was wanting something like this so I can still use the door. Challenge is that I'm pretty confident that the removal of the plastic bumper and the metal wheel holder won't equal or be less that the new metal bumper and door swing lol. Has anyone got a rear bumper? Out of curiosity how much do they weigh?
