Good afternoon everyone,
I swung by the scales on my way back from a skiing trip and decided it was time to see what the ole' girl weighs:
Maybe I've been feeding her too much!
I figured it would be fun to get some ACTUAL results from peoples weigh-ins with different setups.
If you could respond with a few basic details that would influence the result and a picture of each truck for comparison sake I think this could be fun.
Here's what mine looks like:
My weigh in included a full tank of fuel (30 gallons) all my spare parts and recovery gear. I took my luggage out and stood off the scale for the measurement.
The truck has:
30 Gal steel fuel cell and full 20l Jerry can out back
39" BFG KM3's
Trussed axles (fj62 width)
Big ol' disk Brakes
Full family cage (2" tubes)
Tool box tailgate
7 Gal Air tank out back
2.0 TDI with 5 speed transmission and 4 speed transfer (Orion with underdrive)
A/C and on board air system
A Big loud stereo system
Lots of tools/fluids/spare parts
Full hard top installed along with short rear jump seats
Ask for any other details but that's the basic stuff that adds up.
Lets see what kind of numbers you guys got!
Mike
