Hi
Have you actually weighed it full up? So could be even more than you think?
Personally i would want and aim to be a bit under the gross. If I was over I definitely would not be having the likes of underbody protection.
To make decent use of any vehicles capabilty you need to be under, not at, and not over! How much easier would all those lovely rough tracks be on a standard empty vehicle, "enough" fuel and water, two sleeping bags, small one burner stove etc etc. That sounds like fun
Good luck anyhow
