I am just curious what you all may have on your trucks. I would imagine most are similar unless it is pretty cutom or you got tons of offset. Right?

Here is mine to start it off....


Width: 82.2"
Heigth: 90" or 7' 6"

Weight wise I don't have an up to date number now that new diffs are in. But we weighed it before the recent mods and it was,

4960lbs
2500lbs front & 2360lbs rear

haven't measured, but I'd estimate my truck at about 74" tall or so. Track width is about 74" in front and 76" in back. Weight dry with my tool box in the truck is probably around 4700.

The Xterra is a little taller, has similar track width, and I'd guess the weight somewhere just north of 5000lbs.



1998 Frontier 4x4, 2007 AWD Murano, 2007 RAM 2500 4x4 Diesel, and an Intruder VS800.

I dreamt I was a muffler last night. When I woke up, I was exhausted.

I haven't weighed my truck yet. It sits about 7' tall with a wheelbase of ~116. I've always figured my truck trail read at around 5,000 lb.

well the Patrol now is every bit of 5500lbs! It is within 180lbs front and rear. Meaning nearly exactly the same weight distrubted front and rear.

The truck is going to crack the 6000lbs mark when it is done I just know it....which puts me in the full sized rigs weight catergory!

At least there will be a ton of steel between me and death! lol

That would be three tons. Wink



It's a fine line between clever and stupid.

Wow, that surprises me that it's that heavy.

Must be in part due to that diesel.

Mine is 6' 11 3/4" tall (Had to be under 7' to get on the boat in hawaii), and 83" wide so 6'11" wide. Wheelbase is 110.

I dont think I could have built it much lower and still fit the 42's with no rubbing issues, and kept any sheetmetal on the front end

Weight is... really heavy. Just the engine + accessories is 1000lbs, and the two axles together make 1100+, and 500lbs in tires so I highly doubt its under 5k, and probably closer to 6k

Well since the engine hasn't changed yet that hasn't effected weight. It is all in added steel and diffs plus tires. The diffs are about 450lbs each and the tires...well I don't know but they are real heavy!

I am in the same boat as Drip. Really hard to make it lower and keep body panels. Also lowering it for me reduces flex, up travel. But imho there is a balance between height and width. I don't want the truck tot all or to wide. It seems pretty good so far and did well in AZ but I would be happy if it was a touch lower or a touch wider. I think wider is how it will end up. Since it is 7' 6" to 7' 9" tall going up is not really an option I want to discuss.
