Weighed the rear end!

I finally got around to getting a digital 1000lbs hanging scale from the scale place. Have a friend there, so it was free for the weekend. Weighed a few things including my rear end for the coil rates. With everything Im carrying and two people in the seats, and it sitting at ride hieght, my rear unsprung weight was 690lbs. Just need to add 8 gallons of fuel, so say right around 760lbs total weight. Weighed one 42" tsl and steel beadlock. It was 161lbs even. So I am more than pleased with that rear weight. I made everything fairly centered, so corner weights should be real similar. 375lbs per corner is pretty darn light. I can't wait to get the whole thing weighed, just to see what the whole rig weighs. My goal was under 3500, but have a feeling Im gonna be lighter than my target. Prolly call and talk spring rates and order my coilovers real soon. Then It's just plumbing the hydro. I finally am starting to see the light! Closer I get, the more excited and slower the days seem to go by.. Hopefully I can get it out of the barn some time in the next month or so.

I usually take b4 and after pics, not many in between. Moslty cause I have to use my parents camera and computer. But I will for sure be posting some up as soon as I get it painted and rolled out into the light. If I get it rolling in a month or so, it will be the first time it's moved in 1.5 years. Man I can't wait to just see it in natural light! Dennis
