Well taking the G60 (Hellpatrol) to Stockton beach on the weekend of the 30th Jan 2010. You may remember we took the 73 there in late 2009.

Last weekend I was looking at putting the 33” BFG AT from the GU on HP (285/75/16) After looking at the rear tray I decided not to. I only have 130mm between the tyres and tray currently and 150mm upward wheel travel to the bump stop.
The 33” will add 12mm diam to the current wheel and I need at least 50mm more height on the tray, or lower bump stop by 50 or get a suspension lift. Since I removed the LPG tank I can almost slide a spare wheel under the tray.
Have decided to lift the tray 3” which can easily done, as the current setup used shaped hardwood along the chassis rails. Then there is a 2” square tube which bolts up tp the alloy tray with some channel. The tray is held on by a huge square U bolt clamp at the front each side and 4 bolts each side at the rear. I just need to install the 3” x 2” steel tube or wood between wexisting wood and tube and I’m done.
Will do a quick install this weekend as tray will come of again to
1- Install a spare G60 fuel tank behind the diff.
2- Install a flat bench so I can slide two spare wheels up under the tray
3- Also install a dual battery behind the existing battery under the left side of the tray
4- Maybe also squeeze a water tank in somewhere as well.
This will mean for Simpson I have 160L of fuel and two spares and dual battery all tucked away.
That’s all right now.
See ya

. Just need to make a battery clamp or something and fix the fuel filler bracket, just need a flat bar 100mm long.
