In case anybody was wondering(because I couldnt find this info anywhere and Land Rover is vague about it, 4200-4900lbs.), a 2004 Land Rover Discovery SE7 weighs...

5086lbs.

that's a nice detailed list ya got there

But in all seriousness, something like this is an awesome reference to have online. Nice work

I need you to weigh the truck one more time and this time without the pen and notepad so we get more valid results.

Consider the 5600lb curb weight of an LR4, and D2 looks pretty lean.
Also, you may be short of ammo.

why do you have so many goddamn phone books. I don't even have a phonebook, how am I supposed to know how much to subtract?

I should weigh mine.

I weighed my old fully loaded jeep commander. it was 7500 lbs. I almost crapped myself. That's when I decided I was carrying too much crap.

holy poop. makes my old XJ seem like a lightweight. 3/4 ton axles, 35s, roll cage, bumpers, and chassis stiffening it weighed in at 5060lbs.

RRC in its current form is 4860 with me and the dog

That because XJ's dont have frames.

True, but neither does the Commander. But 5000lbs in a XJ feels WAY heavier than a 5000lb Disco. Base models weigh less than 3500. I guess I'm just used to lightweight... less weight=more better.

The commander has two subframes. one for the front suspension and engine, and one for the rear suspension and drivetrain. They are build a lot like an LR3 in that respect. Just a lot crappier. My transmission was starting to let go around 85K miles and the front end made weird noises since I first got it with 25K miles on it. While I liked it, it was worthless on snow, ice and mud. That was the main reason I developed a winch bumper for it. My winch saved my butt so many times.

LR3s have a legit chassis don't they? I'm pretty sure mine does.

Its still a uniframe though. You can't lift the body off of the frame like you can in a Disco/LR3-4.
