I just wieghed in at the local junk-yard...
We did it 3 times to be sure!!!
They're accurate to 50 lbs.

OH MI GOD...

I'm at 5780 lbs.
with me (170lbs.)in it!!!
Is this insane or what??!!

This is my 95 D1, with some recovery gear on board, no passengers, no camping gear, no tools, etc.

What extra equipment is installed on yours, I have had my 97 weighed at a truck scale and it is 4600 with out me inside and empty.
The only extra at the moment is a non airbag ARB.

Say goodbye to gas mileage if you add more heavy stuff like ARB bumpers, sliders, roof rack, hd trailing arms and others. My wife drives my 95 D1 with some add ons on it. She doesn't care about gas mileage as long as she drives it. Am roverless right now.

Your car was probably filled with gas and other fluids too. That makes a big difference.

gas = about 7 lbs. per u.s. gal.

if you bought a land rover for the gas mileage you are in trouble!

No,no,no...
Of course I didn't buy it for the milage!!

By han chung on Monday, October 08, 2001 - 05:50 am: Edit
