Emosh99 Member 260 Member For: 13y 10m 25d Gender: Male Location: Melb Posted 01/12/13 04:25 AM Share Posted 01/12/13 04:25 AM Here are some after pics of when I moved some concrete pavers from house to house, they may look small, but each weighed around 25 kgs each, I wish I took before pics!These photos were taken after I had to stash half of the pavers on the side of a hwy! Came back for them in three loads.Rears were 'reset' pedders lowered springs... never again will I lower a ute and/or run wheels with offset! Tore through one sidewall, changed the spare, dumped half the load and kept driving! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaos310 Donating Members 228 Member For: 12y 2m 12d Gender: Male Posted 21/03/14 01:04 PM Share Posted 21/03/14 01:04 PM I loaded my BA XR8 up with recon limestone blocks 500x300x250... I think I had to take about 8 out to get it off the bump stops... after driving 15km to get them all home.. took 3 trips.. big ute loved it!!Another time was the ute loaded with fastwall bricks ( 1 pack ) and 2 packs in a tandem axle trailer behind.... brakes did not appreciate it, they let off a fierce smell to let me know too!

The brakes, gearbox and bump stops hated it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bennydrift New Member 2 Member For: 9y 8m 21d Posted 27/03/15 04:57 PM Share Posted 27/03/15 04:57 PM I'm a tree lopper, so my ba tradesman povert pack work ute has copped a significant beating repeatedly. The most I had was 2200kg of logs. The crane driver thought it was going to collapse. The diff welded itself up that day. If it had a manual it would have killed the clutch. In my bf xr6t ute the most I have had is the weight of my toolbox, climbing gear, saws etc. so about 150-200kg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
