Very informative video thanks Simon. I’ll be heading off to have my FJ weighed asap. I did remove my underbody 4mm thick bash plates this year as they added a huge amount of unnecessary weight for the type of wheeling I do. Fingers crossed for a successful weigh in. Thanks again 🤓
Oh yeah that is interesting. I guess it's one of those things how it's just a tick for the government lol. I mean in other states you can fit exactly the same as what we have in terms of gvm upgrade but the new gvm be 3t... it's the same bloody country lol
Wow 1,280kg is shockingly low, you're over your GVM with barely anything in it, 1 occupant and half of a small tank of petrol. My Patrol Ute is over 3,900kg GVM. My Holden Crewman is lighter and has a higher GVM. Seriously, I'm sorry mate but even a Jimny can carry a roo bar, in Australia its a must, not just for offroad but for anyone who spends much time away from the cities and town.
Yep to be fair its only the front axle and the front bar weighs 60 kg then add the winch and cradle, 4mm bash plates and rock sliders then the spot lights and light bar and rhino rank. It's carrying more than just a Roo bar that's adding to the front axles The jimnys pay load is less than half my pay load mate and it's gvm is less than what and standard fj weighs... hardly comparable Barely anything in? Lets list whats added that ads weight Full drawer system and a fridge that's also got a crate of water in Dobinsons coilovers Dual battery system with dcdc and solar Full length under body protection Front bar Winch Arb Compressor Rhino rack 270 degree awning Method race wheels x 5 Rear bar and spare wheel carrier Rocker sliders Nit hardest anything is it mate

All good brother!!!
2.8 ton = 6172 pounds 2.7 ton = 5952 pounds (for nonmetric America)
Man sorry I usually do that I completely forgot. Thank you!
Alloy bash plates for a start... 6mm
Geez that's thick how much would that weigh
Not much compared to 3mm steel
Really. I'll look into it thanks mate
@@Simonstockton82 No problems any time .. try Arb IronMan TJM etc or some of the 4x4 places.
@@302esky yeah legend bro I found some already! HEAPS LIGHTER!!!!!
That’s interesting with your GVM upgrade. Our revised numbers are the same total weight, however, my front is 1330 and rear is 1430
