Looks nice, but with that load the back end would sag a bit. Odd, they accidentally used the spare wheel on the right rear hub. Oopsie.
I found a nifty feature on the forums called HIDE USER.
I was going to try it on myself and go stealth, but it only works on other users.

hi, Randy!
I can see your point. Then again, have you ever looked closely at photos showing the way some of the British and US Jeeps looked before, during and after the Airborne landings on D-Day? Loaded to the rafters! I'm surprised that they could even be driven with those loads on... Then there are all of those WWII film clips of 187 Bomber Crew members or Fighter Pilots piled into and onto a single Jeep! One wonders how the poor little things didn't collapse!!!

I had six guys in my Jeep once, the back was riding low, but it still managed to get where we were going. I was just thinking the load would settle the rear a bit.

Hi!
Oh, no doubt! It wouldn't be too hard to "settle" the rear end a little bit. I for one, have no plans to buy one of these sets. I've modeled my 1/35 TAMIYA Jeeps with "minimal" stowage...

No Sh** heavy stowage! You can barely see the vehicle once the guys are onboard. It happened, but I also wouldn't want to overload my kit. Nice that it's offered though.
