Well, I was on an on-site project today and decided to borrow the companys scale for a few minutes and weigh my car The scale is state certified for shipping, so I know it is accurate. The scale rounds to the nearest 20 lbs. Mine has the stuff listed below on it and was pretty much emptied out other than my laptop bag full of stuff, a couple of binders and two jackets. Just thought some may be interested in seeing it. Iknow, its dirty I just got my TRD springs last week as well, and this angle shows the drop decently too.

 

Cool, so it's rated about 50 lbs under what we've all been told.

 

"There are only 10 kinds of people in this world, those that know binary and those that don't "------HAHA thats pretty funny

 

Any chance of a forward/rear balance check with that scale?

 

kinda cool.

 

is that weight with an auto or a manual? An auto shooud be little heavier I would presume?

 

Mine is a 5 SPD, so the auto should be a little bit heavier. I didnt have any way to do a forward/rear check on there, but it would have been cool to try.

 

How much gas did you have when you weighed the car?

 

pretty cool

 

Thats freaking sweet!

 

not really, the tC is pretty damn fat haha

 

fat? lol. my g/f old all-trac tipped the scale at 3,250 ish, our landcruiser tips it off at 5,400ish.

 

Forgot to mention the fuel. I was running at about 1/2 tank as I recall (on the gauge, which isnt exactly linear). So around 50 lbs of fuel I am assuming. I will be working on site as support this week, so maybe I can try a front/rear weight. The problem is that I dont believe it will be as accurate, especially since the end of the scale butts up to asphalt ramps, so it will be sitting on a hill. But I should be able to get a percentage measurement that way. I know, its a geeky thing to do, but what the hell, its fun playing with the truck scale.

Oh and driving around all the trucks is a trip. I feel like a ____-ant driving in a heard of elephant!

 

I agree truck scales are fun!

 

not really, the 5speed is suppose to be 2905..

 

my land cruiser is about 5000lbs.

 

yep, considering the options and fuel it is probably close to being right on spec. Keep in mind that the scale rounds to the nearest 20 lbs, so it could be between 2900 and 2940. I believe it rounds both ways.

Also, the Trailblazer in the reflection weighed in at about 4600 lbs...
