Sorry, I forgot a couple of things with the RB30 that may be relivent, it has a 2" suspension lift, long range fuel tank 150 lt, ARB steel winch bar (no winch), rear kaymar bar, and a set of home made draws and a fat bastard driving it, so it is a bit heavier than a standard patrol.

Cheers

Long range tank 146lt and 2 jerrys
