Thursday we had our weighbridge re calibrated and I decided to put my Patrol on, according to the weight on my license disk my Tarre is 2076kg but on the weighbridge it showed 2240kg that exclude me from the vehicle and the tank was between 1/4 and 1/2 so probably 35liters.
The only extra on my lorrie is an ARB bullbar and I do not even have the rear seats in
This is a bit confusing , what are the rest of you GQ tarre weight as shown on the license disks??
Shalom

Hello Jules,
Do you have airbags in the supension, suspension kit or do you have standard suspension.
Next, do you have standard tyres or the 33"?
Mud accumilation on the chassis/body? 2nd Battery?
then you may have a few kilos of k@kk@s lying in the cubby holes etc. Floor mats are not included in the Tarre weight and I believe fuel tanks are empty too. ARB weights a pretty few kilos, ±50kg's i'd say.
assuming your fuel estimate is spot on, following that and the ARB you still need to find 79kg's
Does the Tarre spec include the spare wheel? even so, it seems to be within 4% accuracy following the factors you could establish, then there may have been some minor specification changes. Does yours include the fridge in the back?
I wouldn't loose sleep.
Cheers
