watch your back
detnol,
i concur with others who warn that excessive weight overstresses your vehicle and reduces its stability and therefore performance both on and off-road. so cut down on the weight, and keep the heaviest stuff along the centreline where possible. liquids up there are a particularly bad idea, and i reckon 200kg is way too much.
anyhow, another important consideration when putting heavy stuff up high is this: how do you get it up and down? lift it, of course. just don't underestimate how much lifting a 20kg jerry can to head level can stress your body. you have only got one back.
cheers,
andy.
