Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hey guys,

I think my lux is a bit too heavy.
Ever since I got the duals, I find I am getting more wheelslip than
before without them, but I have also done alot of tray mods too and
added a bit of weight there, plus the duals and the new crossmember
and track bar, etc, etc...

So I put my lux on the scales at the tip the other day and it weighed in
at 1900kgs!!! that was just with me in it with 1/2 tank of fuel.

My car is a 1989 Single Cab Toyota Hilux (RN106)
Runs the OEM 22R motor with extractors
Standard G52 5-speed, into Dual Transfer Cases on custom crossmemb.
Still on leaves, rear trac bar, Runs 35" Goodyear MTRs
Has modded ARB winch-bar, Sliders, and Custom Tube tray with bars.

Is 1900Kgs too heavy for a 1989 SC lux crawler? Or is this about on par
with other trucks.

Post up the weight of your trucks, obviously lux owners, I am keen to
know what your truck weighs, but post up no matter what type rig you
have as it would be good to compare the weight to other rigs.

Cheers,
Bart

no idea, but at 1900kgs that's the same weight as a ford ute.

and even though the holden utes say 1900kgs as well, aprantly they are slightly over 2 ton.

My Hummer replica is 2040kg's
Hoppy

+ 40kg for dual tcase

+ 20kg x 5 for 35" tyres = 100kg

+ 10kg rear trac bar and attatchments

+ 15 kg sliders

+30 kg rear tray

+ 70kg for front bar with winch

--------------------

Total 265kg, not including other bits (larger battery/2nd battery for winch, etc...)

FWIW (yeah probably nothing....) Kia Sportage 1650kg

Even bog stock cars/4WD's will weigh a heap more than what the rego papers say. Trust me, I work in a weighbridge at night

My 4Runner with 5x 33's, full tank of fuel, brooksy's armoured rear bar and sliders, various tools and recovery gear and me in it comes in at about 2.3t.

my hilux weighs in at 2100 all gear on full fuel no one in cab.
It all adds up

Chad

my dual cab diesel lux is about ~2000 with heavy steel tray

All the GU's I took to Murray Sunset were well over 3t.. all were well over GVM too :(

as said, it doesnt take much to add up to lots...

my GU 2640kg empty
plus myself, a passenger, some recovery gear, the fridge and a full tank of fuel.. im over 3T

Hey DAMKIA , I think you better re-weigh your tyre's , My 35 muds weigh 35 kg each , Cheers Paul.

Yeah mine would be up there
Lifting one is an effort so its over 30Kgs at least.

35"X12.5" on a 10"x15" rim. They weigh HEAPS...it sucks

Cheers,
Bart

Cheers

My stock unimog 404 - 2710kg

my gu coil cab with steel tray , canvas canopy , dual batteries 33's , a full tank and front steel bar weighs in at 2490 kg

GQ MWB, wheel base extension, tube tray, tube front bar full tank of fuel, 35's, when engineered was 1900kgs, since added exo, highmount, 2 extra battries, so im keen to weight it, oneday i might,

My GQ ute is 1980Kgs

gu 4.5
bull bar, tow bar, gas tank,full length steel rack,rear draws full of gear,5 33/12.5 tyres
=2680 with both tanks near empty and me not in it! so another 200 odd with fuel and me, so on average prob 2750... no wonder it's slow..!

Show us some pics of your dual transfere case thats intresting

I drove the new sterling at work the other day and she managed to gross 26500 kg . Only 4 tonne over . Boss buys new trucks and doesnt put scales on the suspension. I like the old freightliner they gave me instead of the new POS ford.

jackaroo

go to the dump, at the entry and exit are weigh bridges, you won't pay a thing cuz you arn't losing any weight....if it does show up as losing weight, take them to court for having dodgy scales

Mate that was an estimate of the extra weight over and above the stock tyres on stock rims, ie stock probably in the order of 20kg each, + 20kg for the wide rims and large tyres = 40 kg each.

My 2 seat buggy with LT1 350chev (cast block wih alloy heads) front and rear steer Dana60s with 35 spline shafts weight a touch over 1500kg with no lead in the front tyres. Adrians single seat moon buggy with holden V6, no rear steer and 35 spline d60s front and back weigh about 1250kg, with no lead.

Sam

The mogrover before it got rear steer (say the setup that Ruff won woodpecker in) weighed 2140kg - thats with a heavy arse 302windsor, NP435 gearbox and NP205 transfer (all these bits are cast iron) and 404 mog diffs.
