OPERATION 200: PART TWO FEATURE
LOOKING BACK
In last month's issue we covered why a gross vehicle mass GVM upgrade is necessary if you want to add extras to your vehicle and still tow a van legally and safely. Our new Tough Dog suspension has added 500kg to our payload and means our 200 Series LandCruiser has much superior carrying capacity. The extra payload alloys us to fit items to make touring more enjoyable and probably safer.
While not an accessory that adds weight, our first improvement to our Operation 200 is a set of MSA towing mirrors. The law requires you to see along the side of the van and the standard 200 mirrors don't extend out far enough to do that. Coming in a range to suit most 4x4 vehicles, the MSA mirrors are Australian Design Rules (ADR) compliant and extend for a legal and clear view of following and overtaking traffic.
