Deuce weight and a lttle good news.

Took the deuce to the landfill today. Thought I had a ton of stuff back there. Ended up only being 300 pounds of junk from the garage. Well, the empty weight with me in it was 10520 pounds.

Good new: After the dump, went to get the truck inspected. They said nope, too old. 30 years and older don't need inspections in NC!!!

Never have weighed mine but that's about 3,000# less than the data plate and the TM says.

Well now we have an idea of how much weight is lost by bobbing a deuce.

I wish there were tires that were a little lighter but still handle the deuce weight. These are 400 pounds per corner. Might be great for miltary duty and they look great but they are freakin' heavy. I think I can get down under 10k with a little work.

What size tires do you have? I have 11.00 michelins and they weigh 248lbs each with the rim. I have mine dualed in the back. The stock 9.00 weighed 144lbs.
I am going to get my bobbed truck weighed and inspected as soon as I get a leaking rear main and a rear leaking wheel cylinder fixed. I tagged it for a D plate, but maybe I should have gone for an F plate.

Was it a bob deuce? That would explain the weight difference.

. i scaled mine on a cerified scale 14,510 with the dump kit and hitch.most scrap yards dont care if scale is accurate they are only looking for the difference between the in weight and the out weight since thats what they're paying for .
