Rhino Bar + Fourby Fitout

[Mushie]

You have a fair bit more there; the specific gravity of our unleaded is close enough to 0.71 --- it's not water, so 1L does not weigh 1Kg (very, very often miscalculated). 1 litre weighs 713grams. So your full 290 tank weighs just over 206Kg.

For when we tour, just for whatever's sake - my numbers are

Payload 2715 (Tare Weight)
Mum, Dad and the Kids = 240kg (she'd kill me if I listed it separately!)
Recovery Gear 20kg
42L Ice Box with Food/ Drinks 30kg
Tow Bar 30kg
TJM Front Bar 75kg
Driving Lights and UHF with Antenna 8kg
Recovery Hooks 15kg
Air Compressor 9kg
Full tank of fuel 102kg (140L)
Full Oils/Lubricants 12kg (Tare is often without this - unsure if a Ti tare includes it or not, as if it did then it's usually called Kerb (with half a tank of fuel)
Luggage/ Clothes - 2 Bags at 12Kg each 25kg
Hand Winch + 20m Wire rope 25kg
Food Box including Food 20kg (mostly de-hyd and we buy/ find our own too)
Water Tank full of water 55
Portable Camping Table 12

TOTAL INSIDE CAR 3393 GVM = 3500Kg... then put some on the roof...



On Roof
Tent 38kg (yeah, I know. But it's BLOODY good)
Sleeping Bag/ Pillow/ Towel bag 11kg
Roof Rack 39kg
Howling Moon Awning 15kg
MaxTrax x 2 7kg

Total on Roof 110 (so 10kg Over limit - there's space in the back to move the sleeping bags etc down if I need to)

TOTAL Remaning from GVM -3 Kilograms... and that's full fuel, set up for touring. Burn off 5 litres of fuel and I'll be good to go.

Great break down of the weight.

It is hard to keep under the weight - I had never thought about it until we decided to go looking at new cars. We picked up our Y62 a couple of weeks ago and I am still trying to work out what to add.
We are trying to set it up as a tourer and light 4wding, but dont plan on towing. We have a tent that weighs that amount too!! (I think I saw in a previous post by you that you had the blackwolf tubo+, we have that and love it, but we will probably get something lighter/smaller for our trip around oz)

I didnt see a stove and gas bottle in your list?? I also need to fit in a crap load of kids toys!!!

Alot of people also forget about the tyres. Most put larger = heavier tyres on * 5 which adds a substantial amount of weight. Although it is not being carried by the frame - it all goes on the weigh bridge and counts to GVM.....
