They weigh about 1.7 T and you can take off 200kg if its a soft top.

Take the roof, windows, rear barn doors, and your full size doors off and you would be well over 200kgs :cool:

I just had my troopy weighed (for engineering purposes): with spoa 60 series diffs (a few more kilos in metal, say 5-10?) 5 spd box (have to be 10kgs more than a 4spd?) added power steering, has a bullbar, no spare, spanker 35's on 8" sunny's.

(my sig pic is before spring over)

Weighed 2080kgs.

Rego papers reckon it should be 1950.

So i'd estimate yours at around 1600-1700 depending on what engine/accessories/body config you have.

Also, the troopy's GVM is 3050 (on comliance) - that may be a bit much for a shorty, but that is most likely where your 3 tonne come from.
