18" Wheels - EVO CORSE DAKARZERO

[navigare]

My lr3 weighs 8200-8400 lbs on the big summer trips

What weight is the D4 authorised for in the US, just wondering? Does it depend on the engine?

According to willitfit.com

Correct. The 255/55r19 Michelin’s Premier LTX that came on my truck had a side wall load rating of 2403 whereas the 265/65r18 Falkens are rated at 2601. The E-Rated KO2s come in at 3305.

So yes an E-Rated Falken would have been ideal but at a load rating of 2601 per corner I don’t think I’ll have a problem. I have these set at 41psi all around right now and get very little sidewall bulge. I may end up playing with the air pressures more but for now they seem to be doing well.

The OEM recommended settings are slightly lower front than back. You reckon, equal pressures are better offroad? Or perhaps even vice versa, given I’ve added a winch and bull bar?

I do not understand what you are asking. The factory will show a base weight and then total gross when loaded. Mine is well beyond the GVWR. In the US vehicles are never tested for licensing and people use tires that stick out well past the fenders and many other hazardous things.

Due to the added weight I drive slower and allow more distance for stopping. The change in driving behavior though as resulted in things like my brakes lasting much longer.

I think of mine as a rolling refrigerator loaded with anvils.

With 52 gallons of fuel and 10 gallons of water, mine is somewhere around 8,500-9,00 pounds loaded out.

I challenge you to show us because I've had mine weighed several times on different trips and never saw over 8400. I do not think you have more junk on yours but maybe you are including a few people.

Major items besides the 52 gallons it can have but I did not weigh full fuel:
ARB front + winch
Kaymar rear + tire and used to have jerry can or 2 Rotopax w 8g water
Sliders 100 lbs each side
Rasta Al engine, trans, Steel differential guards
Recovery junk in place of 3rd row seat footwell which includes a chain, pulleys, straps, shackles, misc and a 48" high-lift
Camping junk in 3rd row removed seat space/subfloor
ARB 40L fridge in place of 2nd row center seat.
2nd battery is a heavy Odyssey 2150
ARB compressor under hood and factory air tank in passenger side under body.
Hannibal Aluminum 84" "disco 2" rack + Hannibal rear and side awnings with 3 walls for each.
ARB roof tent.
2 waffle boards
Misc stuff inside of course plus wet food like beer and yogurt and fruit on any given trip.
Mtn bikes, other camping stuff like a stove and dry foods.

9000 sounds crazy though

Dammit, now you're going to cost me $145.00 bucks to fill it up and get it weighed....

Let me see if I can dig up my weight slip from the last time I had it weighed (which was pre-auxiliary tank). I am figuring about 600 pounds of people weight in my estimation, which is myself and my 2 buddy's I usually hit the trail with.

Mine has an analogue for everything you list except the roof tent and second factory air tank. I built a sleeping platform in order to keep that much weight off of the roof. I did just pull out the third row, though, so that will save a bit.

If I can find that slip before tank mods I will post it up.

I think the 3rd row is about 80 lbs. So mine was with no people except me and I only weigh 155 but the tanks is a bog one and I don't recall how full mine were either.

No matter the exact number, it's a lot we're rolling with. Amazing really.

I'm curious if you find having the extra factory air tank useful and what tasks you use it for. I have a second one that has been sitting in my garage for several years, but I have never gotten around to installing it. I couldn't think of that many tasks that I thought I would do with it. It's too small (at least with the compressor I have) to run air tools, so I was basically down to using it to air bike tires and river floats, so I just threw a bike pump in the back instead.

Wheels come with center caps?

 

[rpearce1475]

Yes center caps, no lug nuts in mine unfortunately
