Do you mean the test weight ~ which may have additional loading; so matches your figures here without set loading?All good.
Weight info in COC is bull$^#t.
Curious?Not sure where the extra weight left back is coming from thought.
Looks like you will be able to take the dog, but the wife and kids will have to stay at home.Just thought it was time to resurrect this thread with Grenadier weights after people have completed their modifications.
In my case I have a Diesel Trialmaster with a winch, roo bar, brush bars, rock sliders, 4 factory roof bars 7.2 kg each, solar panel 9kg, 2 Arb compressors with bash plate, ( bash plate is 2.7kg ), 1500w inverter, 270 degree owning 28kg, 4 max tracks. factory cargo barriers, UHF radio, a few spare parts and fluids approximately 10kg, extensive tool kit including 18v drill, 18v grinder, 18v 1/2" impact driver all brushless, sockets spanners, levers, tools all up 25 - 30 kg, a fair bit of recovery gear, 2 fire extinguishers, full tank of fuel, and full add blue tank. and shovel.
All the gear I take for remote travel but no food, clothes, water and fridge, but the weight came to a mouth watering 3310 kg.
I expected the weight to be 150 -200kg less, so I am still in shock.
No driver in that weight.
Hi Dave,Looks like you will be able to take the dog, but the wife and kids will have to stay at home.
HiHi Dave,
Have you weighed yours, I guess your diesel Fieldmaster would be under 3 tonne.
People with diesel Trialmasters with factory roof rack 63kg and a rear draw system approximately 100kg and a few tools and recovery gear, their vehicles must be a fair bit heavier than my portly beast.
Why two? Would save some KGs to leave one at home.2 Arb compressors
Why 1500W? This thing is a beast, I guess. If you draw 1500W from your battery, it will be at 50% after 27 Minutes. And 50%1500w inverter,
The 2 ARB compressors are mounted between the chassis and sill panel and separately wired for redundancy, for solo remote travel adjusting or changing tyre pressures happens quite often depending on the terrain.Why two? Would save some KGs to leave one at home.

means "empty". So in my opinion, a 1500 W inverter doesn't make sense. Might make a few KGs less.
May be others will find more ...
Lots of people use ARB twin compressors on this forum, mine just happen to be 2 singles, the benefits are significant, the weight is an additional 5 - 6 kg, a back up small portable compressor apart from taking up cabin space would be about 3kg. the 1,500 watt inverter does not weigh very much, If I cull my tools and recovery gear to a minimum I may loose 25kg.As a being a coffee lunatic myself, I understand you want good coffee.
But I use a Bialetti and a gas burner which is perfect (for me).
But if you must have a 1500 Watt inverter - there is no help. And redundant compressors are no better. A light one and an even lighter one as a backup would do as well.
Perhaps you need an Unimog for your needs.
Dave,Looks like you will be able to take the dog, but the wife and kids will have to stay at home.
On an aside... the twin ARB is basically two singles together, pull a fuse from one side and the other 'single' will still operate as a single compressor....The 2 ARB compressors are mounted between the chassis and sill panel and separately wired for redundancy, for solo remote travel adjusting or changing tyre pressures happens quite often depending on the terrain.
The 1500w inverter is used to power my compact coffee machine with frother "Nespresso" stored in a hard case, and for charging 18v batteries.
I am an addict ( coffee ).
Making a coffee only takes 1 to 2 minutes.
I am a bit under 80kg.I'm getting curious now.
Your car is heavy.
Your dog is heavy.
How about you?
