That would be the easy option but it is not insured.  I am telling transport companies that my best guess is 3800kg.

tbh weve noticed that weight doesnt seem to bother the 411, its slow anyway, so cant get any slower! :D but it really doesnt seem to make any difference if its got weight on it or not  :)

I suppose a good health check before driving it is as good an excuse as any. It could cause no end of damage lugging it that far if something isn't right.

Excellent!

I've only just put two and two together and come up with this, but I went down near Portsmouth a couple of years back to meet some guys with Unimogs. We went to Core 4x4 near Chichester - sadly a search of their website shows that they have closed due to loss of the venue and I'm not sure if they've found a new site?

Did you ever spot Tom driving around your area? Black U1000 with big Jack Daniels stickers on the doors? If you'd seen it, you wouldn't forget it!

Yes I have seen that U1000 at several events. Core was a nice little site, I did not know it had closed.  Luckily I live within walking distance of Slab, Hogmoor and Broxhead which are areas the MOD train on and various 4x4 clubs use about once a month.

I must get myself to one of those at some point. I've never seen a 404 in the flesh that I can remember.

The AWDC hold a drive round most months, check their site for details.  The last "Heavies" day I went to was disappointing.  The only unusual 4x4 there was a Pinzgauer.

It is going to take me a couple of weeks to get my new purchase up together but I'll let you know when I am heading off there in it.
