I generally come in about 6700-6800. I don't have bumper or winch but I do have a Gobi rack and ARB drawers (in place of a 3rd row). And that is with my general drive around gear - maybe 200# of stuff at the most.
Im 8000+ pretty much all the time. i have nudged 4000kg (*8800lb
) a few times
Wonder what this means when it comes to getting E rated tires versus D rated tires and psi based on you guys being a bit hefty

That sounds right for what you’ve got there.
I’m over 8k# with a single spare & loaded up.
You have good taste in color...
Has anybody weighed a bone stock one? Curious what the increase on some of these are over stock.
2015 LX 570 per Lexus is 6000 lbs. (GVWR 7385 lbs) that’s unloaded standard equipment no passengers what it weighs coming off the assembly line I don’t think that includes much gas either. The Land Cruiser weighs 5765 lbs because of less equipment less sound deadening material etc.

Does anyone know what is/are the component(s) that are responsible for the GVWR and GAWR on these trucks? I know we can speculate, but anyone in the know ever gotten this info? Let's say it's the suspension, then its beefed up, what would be next, etc.? I know a lot of intelligent ppl speculate and seem to go overweight without issue after certain upgrades, but wondering if some are overkill because we dont know for sure.

Speculation on my part, but I have some professional experience in this area.
It comes down to performance requirements/criteria in the end. And the level of performance deemed acceptable by the manufacturer/certifying body/etc. at GVWR, GAWR, or laden weight. We don't have specific testing criteria, thresholds, and numbers to go by as end users. So really, it's down to what you as the end user find acceptable. Regulation would generally say one can't go over GVWR/GAWR and still hold the manufacturer liable if anything were to happen, including insurance liability.
Performance for the many different criteria, including: load handling, dynamic handling, rollover, acceleration, braking, stability, engine cooling, transmission temp, transfer case/diff/etc temps, durability, reliability, MTBF of components, crash performance, and so many more.
To answer your question more directly, what's after suspension? We know these rigs are still sufficiently durable and reliable (but surely worse than stock due to the added stresses). Engine has enough cooling and general performance. It would probably be brakes and handling impacts. The heavier rigs would be deemed likely unsafe by traditional test criteria in these areas. We as enthusiasts accept it, but it would probably not pass braking, accident avoidance, rollover tests very well.

Interesting you can only have about 1610 pounds of people and equipment luggage etc. in your vehicle before you’re over gross vehicle weight rating per Lexus. That’s pretty much equivalent to three guys at the gym that I work out with plus our luggage for a trip
