Hi all - hope the collective wisdom can offer some advice.
I am planning an overland build of a dual cab landcruiser, the aim is to be able to go "off grid" for around 7 days between hitting civilisation for water/food ressuply. The concept is for a deployable camping setup on the tray, allowing for the camp setup to be easily taken off the tray and the vehicle to be used for daytrips from the campsite.
I am going to custom build the setup, after having a good look at alternatives that are on the market.
Weight is a major concern, I want to keep as much forward and low as possible.
Heavy items that will be attached to the cruiser: Aux fuel tank, 2xspare tyres.
Heavy items that will be attached to the camping setup: 100+L water, Batteries, camping fuel. I can design the camping setup to mount these forward and low.
Where would you advise placing the spares and fuel? Ideally this would be somewhere between the axles and as low as possible. I want to avoid having to mount the wheels behind the cab and compromise tray space.
I have not yet bought the vehicle - and am struggling to find good technical drawings of the vehicle online.
Thanks!
