Car weight

just for anyone wondering "how much does my car weigh"

3000 lbs. no driver, no passengers, almost full tank of gas. no weight reduction/major add ons, minus an amp and a heat exchanger so maybes an extra 45 lbs less for those without

and this was verified by me because i weighed it at a crusher earlier that day for ***** and giggles didn't know i was gonna wind up on a scale in chicago that night!

the scale i was at earlier read a little closer to 2980, while this scale i think rounds off to the nearest 50 lbs. so at least we know this is close.

sad thing is i was hoping for under 2900 like many spec sheets stated :{c

Did you weigh it on a CAT scale at a truck stop or something?

I weighed mine at a CAT scale and mine comes in at 2900 lbs exactly (62/38 weight distribution), with a braille battery, no spare/jack, full fluids including gas tank, and no random anything in the car. This was before my PF01s were put on so I'm probably another 5-10 lbs lower.

Way to ninja edit in the picture. It wasn't there before I clicked reply

well i can see that happening for you, because if you take off the extra 45ish lbs i have and subtract around the same for the jack & light battery.

for the record, i think it might have read just a TAD lower at the other place i was at, like 2980 or something. the truck scale in the picture rounded off to the nearest 50 lbs judging how everyone else did (2850, 3100, 3250 etc)

way to ninja edit when i quoted you!
