I haven't taken the 80 out of the UK yet but if/when I do I'll be aiming for the Kola Peninsula rather than Africa.
You don't seem to hate mud, but that comes with the country I imagine. Do you happen to travel to more dusty areas (ie North Africa) to naturally sandblast your rig?
The scoop position was just to keep the job simple and avoid the bracing. The green grids we call waffle boards or bridging ladders but really they're just off cuts of fibreglass flooring grid. They can be used on boggy ground to spread the load, or up against mud banks or rocks that are too steep for your approach angle, to make a ramp. Any place you'd stack more than a few rocks to get up they're useful. We've used them to make up the side of a track that had washed away as well, good enough for us to winch past. I keep meaning to come up with a design for some legs so they can be turned into benches or a table for campingthe scoop is off center.. was this to work around the hood bracing, or is that the hot side of the diesels?
and what are the green grid panels strapped to the gate? sand rails or in you case mud rails for traction?
