#600 and #800 springs seem awfully light for a U1250, IMO. There are more than a few guys running around the states with #650 and #700 springs on Tacomas, after adding a winch bumper, winch and lights. For reference, the images you posted look like you have a pretty beefy spring compared to puny little Toyota stuff:
As you are in metric land, could it be 800 kg (1760 pounds)? The engine in a Mog probably weighs as much as the entire front end of a Hilux, so the numbers certainly don't add up IMO.
850 miles off road without fuel and 1200 miles on road without fuelling? I assume diesel can be expensive in the remote areas and possibly difficult to source, but that seems like a lot of extra weight to carry around. At 6.3 pounds per gallon, 400 liters of diesel has a mass of 660 pounds plus the tanks, mounts, etc.
I know you have spent quite of bit of time figuring all of this out and building your truck, so just curious about the maths.
Cheers
