I think it will go better if you get out and your navigator becomes the driver. What you reckon? Daan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonk Posted July 19, 2006 Author Share Posted July 19, 2006 i changed my 6x9's for different 6x9's, no real weight difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white90 Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Will 2150kg should be very easy Mine wighed in at 2180kg with all recovery gear/waffles on board and since then I've removed steel rope/roller fairleads and shave a few kgs off in other areas so it should now be around 2145kg.

reads90 Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 all lr's which get to 2 winches, caged,body protection are going to get somewhere around 2000kgs, i'd be interested how much special buggy type builds weigh when finished just for comparison Yeah Mark . I am interested in what Julians truck is going to weigh when it is finshed, as his 90 was not much differant to my old 90 mm even more so , that i may have to go to a company near me over here and go and see about axel end bolt ons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbocharger Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 For comparison, what's the kerb weight of a factory V8 / Tdi Ninety before we start loading them up with scaffolding and electric motors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 ISTR the Green Bible quoted the 109 at ~1700kgs which was surprisingly low when you see "normal" luxury cars that weigh more than it. Aha, found it: http://www.lrfaq.org/FAQ.3.LR_data.html The 109 CSW is 3752lbs or 1702kg, once again my vehicle is at the cutting edge of off-road technology A 90 hardtop weighs ~3828lbs / 1736kg A 110 hardtop weighs ~4224lbs / 1916kg Edit: According to Land Rover the maximum GVW for a 90 is 2400kg, so if you're over that with cage/winches/protection you're already exceeding the design specs I also notice the "slope traverse" angle has dropped again, it's now only 30 degrees - yet more points for the Series at 45 degrees Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LR90 Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 FWIW my 90 weighs 1900kg inc driver, fuel and limited recovery gear (no kitty gripper). Additions over stock are the Simex, 8274 (with steel cable and dual batteries), and some added protection. Lots of options to add weight to it but reduction is less obvious.

dirtydiesel Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 As some of you may know theres always been a bit of a weight thing going on between myself and Mr Barker as to who's lighter (see his description), i'm talkin landrovers here not us, Nige is obviously way heavier than me, have u seen the size of him? anyway, he weighed his at 2280kg here. mine with all kit on board including spare wheel, ground anchor, hi-lift, bumper/bullbar and rear xmember all made by myself upto my normal structural heaviness , full cage, wahooge (power station) battery etc. anyway it weighed in at 2140 kg which i was pretty pleased about so Nige, time to change your description to 'too many doughnuts and my truck is almost as heavy' Mine only weighed 2040 kg when it was first built Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
