Have to protect my word haha sorry OP. Before I said 3083 pounds with a full tank. Today I was 3060 with 6 points on the gas gauge and winter rear wheels. Now my winters on a bathroom scale say 54 lbs, my summers say 47.5 lbs. So subtract 13 lbs. Also empty my washer fluid bottle and you get another 5 lbs loss. With only 6 points I can roughly guess I'm missing 62.5% fuel or 11.875 gallons or 72.44 lbs.

So my car weighs 3114 lbs with a full tank now. Why the difference? Installed the diff pump (5 lbs), 24 row cooler with oil (5 lbs?) hoses ect, and solid subframe bushings which are heavier. But I know those don't add up to 31 lbs. Turns out this new scale where I live only reads in 20 lbs increments. So I could be 51 lbs off or I could be 11 lbs off. Not enough to cry over though. Point is I wasn't lying and I'm putting up.

Now the scale when i showed up today wasn't zeroed so it was reading -2860 lbs.



But I stepped on the scale and I weigh 160 lbs which you can see it went to -2700 lbs so it still reads accurate!



With the car on it reads 200 lbs so it weighed 3060.



With me on the scale it reads 360 lbs (3060 car, 160 me). Hope that proves my word.
