How heavy is your patrol

[threedogs]

Seems to be a good talking point amongst the Forum.
I think mine is pretty light as it is and that was my aim.
To travel as light as possible.
Ben is a member who works at a quarry over my way
so I'll be popping in to see him next week to get a weight
of my Patrol basically empty.
From there I can weigh individual bits and pieces .

My mods include bullbar/winch spooled with Dyneema
a 75ltr Aux tank and a roof rack 3/4. well they are the heavy items.
My Engel is always in the Patrol so theres 22kg .
I'll take note of my fuel levels as well.

Feel free to post your weights if you know it and note what
accessories are fitted.

I weighed my Patrol in 2013 just before my Simpson trip. It had both tanks full of diesel (125 litres), steel winch bar but no winch, rock sliders/steps, rear bar with tire and Jerry holders, empty drawers, Waco 32 litre fridge (empty), rhino Cl steel mesh platform on 3 h/d bars and a bomb 40 litre water tank which was full.

The patrol was in reality empty as I was trying to get the new tare weight. It weighed in at 2860 kg. My gross is 3030 kg So I only had 170 kg left for me and gear.
when I was adding stuff I never really gave much thought to it but I wouldn't do it again. Lighter is better in my opinion.

your stock set up is probably a better idea in the long term. Cheaper too!

Ive never been a fan of drawer systems ,I feel they just get filled with gear which over the years you never know what where.
I have had drawers but have found sturdy plastic boxes for different bits of gear are easier [for me] when camping, and stack
a heap better in the cargo area.

Ill put up stock weights so we know where we are. GU and GQ wagon and Utes
Wagons are 2473 kg

I like the drawers but I wouldn't buy them again for the next car, when ever that comes around. The cost and the weight are too much. Same for the rear wheel carrier. Handy but heavy and expensive.

This is is the first 4x4 I have modified and I think I may have gotten a little carried away by looking at all the magazines and websites. Next time I will have a real good think about which accessories I really need.

3150kg to 3400kg for a ute [coil & leaf]

Are these tare weight?
I had a style side GQ, TD42, leaf all round, ute I would not have thought it was that heavy.

They were gross weights from the Ellery manual
Think we need a curb weight
