The front mounted pump, plumbing and heavy brush guard did nothing to improve the overall weight this had to cope with, but it did probably help the weight distribution, by reducing the amount of weight concentrated on the added-on trailing axle.
Many of these Carmichael 6X4 conversions ended up both overweight and with a serious overload on the third axle - which was a standard Range Rover axle, suspension, wheel and tire combination never designed for this kind of weight.
