Bugly-Bradly was the closest,
I weighed it on 2 different scales today, one was at the dump dropping some rubish off & the other was at the metal recyclers dropping off some
scrap metal, both of them said 1760kgs
How the fark is that????
What a tank!!!!!!!!!
No wonder i`m spitting boxes every month,,, i was getting heaps of gearbox life from my old single cab splitty ute, it was only 1250kgs,,, this thing
must be full of lead
I`m definately going to have to put her on a sooper dooper strict diet now :-)
I actually thought i`d be close to the weight of a commodore , 1300kgs or something like that because i can beat most commodores in a drag
race,,,& top end as well,,, but crickey!!!!............ 1760 is just way tooo dam Fat !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
can someone weigh a std duely for me one day soon??????????????? I`d be really interested to know just how much extra Fat this thing is carrying than
stock
cheers
Fat Matt & his Pie eating Kombi :-)

According to my Haynes manual, a Double Cab without cover but with driver should be 1350 kg. The cover is worth another 25 kg. I don't know where you
got the extra 400 kg.

But the checker plate is only alloy so you better start looking elsewhere in the big bugger , ie how thick is the floors that were replaced years ago
and as graham said those wheels and tyres will weigh a bit compared to the standard 14" sluggers , mind you , you don't even have a spare on board
at the moment , so start tossing out those heavy rubber mats and break out the hole saw for some hardcore weight loss

My uncle's dual cab weighs something like 2.1 tonne with all the extra gear it has on it. Weight of wheels, reduction boxes, 250kg of armour plate
over engine bay under tray, double shocks on all 4 corners, bullbars front and rear plus the rear roll bar on the tray is full of sand and welded up
and the roll bars behind the cab plus who knows what else it usually has in it!!! With all the crap the car carries every day it would prolly have an
extra 200kg floating around in it LOL

Andrew,,, the back floor in the tray is covered in alloy checker plate yes,,, but the main floor underneath is 3mm "STEEL" checker plate
& yeah it does have 3mm alloy checker covering just about every other place
It does have a bull bar with a big radiator on it & all that water filling 2 pipes from front to rear
The engine won`t be light, even tho it`s mainly alloy, it has 32valves, 32 springs, 32 buckets, 4x cam shafts, & just about 8x of everything else
etc etc etc, it weighs a shitload
& yeah the rubber mats all over the shop , well they definately aren`t light weight & they`re bloody everywhere :-(
& yeah big fat wheels & tyres
All the sound deadening slabs stuck to just about every where inside the car, all that thick carpet & fully appolstered & & & &
& lucky it`s missing the passengers side wiper arm at the moment, it would weigh even more :-)
It`s going on a diet now, simple as that !!!!!!!!
Each weekend It normally has a full compliment of 6x people plus 6x down hill mountain bikes weighing about 22kgs Each, & all our gear , helmets,
full body armmour for all ove us & massive spares box & massive tool box & rather large esky full of ice & drinkahol & yeah i`m
fangin it up & down massive hills all day, like toowoomba range & dayboro state forest tracks & such,,, & yeah then Byron bay surfing
nearly every thursday/friday,,, well ,,, i know why it`s blowing boxes & it`s not because of all that thrashing,,, it`s simply not got a good
enough box :-)
4x4 turbo porsche box comming soon :-) Then the twin turbos to help overcome all the big fat pies :-)
I used to call it "The Muff Diver" ,,, simply because it likes eating boxes :-)
but now i`m going to call it "The Pie Eater" :-)
I`m more used to driving things like this--->
Yamaha R1 powered hillclimb special, (soon to have a hair drier added) & it`s only 200kgs, my race mini is about 500kgs, my road mini is about
650kgs,,,
& yet here is this "TANK" of a pie eating kombi,,, when full of people & bikes & gear & tools & such , weighing in at approx
2500kgs puching through the air down the highway at warp factor nine ... Bloody stoopid!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No wonder it holds the road really nice at 200km/h... Big Fat Pie Eater :-)

1.76 Tonnes
thats some Heavy Dual Cab..
wheels look like alloy...
You must have Heavy Water in the radiator.... lol
a Hole saw will lighten the load... lol
I used the blue Yoga mats for noise reduction and heat insulation etc.. it weighs nothing..
I have it over My roof around the engine inside the guards
inside , everywhere...
and it works great..
I did buy a couple of sound reduction mats but they were very heavy...
and rubber mats can be Very heavy also...
I'll never look at another dual cab the same.. again...
more like Michelin man dual cab... lol
