    Arb front bumper, warn winch, All Pro rear bumper, OME up front, OME and All Pro Standard in Back, ARB locker, 34 x 10.5 KO2's, 17" Level 8 Trackers, and fancy single piece driveshaft.
    I weighed my truck today. Full tank, otherwise pretty empty. I wasn't in it. Just for the record:

    Front axle: 2680
    Rear axle: 2000
    Total: 4680

    The mods on my truck that add substantial weight are the front and rear bumpers, winch, and 33's.

    I found the scale from this website: http://catscale.com/cat-scale-locator

    It cost $10.50. I'd never done it before. The process is a bit comical, at least on this scale. 1) Pull onto scale, making sure the rear axel is on the second platform. 2) Get out and go to the intercom, which is at semi truck height. Reach to about 8' to push the call button. I felt like a little kid. The guy on the other end asked for a truck number, because he couldn't see me. He ended up putting "private" on the ticket. Then go inside and pay, and collect the weight ticket.

    For reference my stock DCSB TRD OR V6 AT 4x4 w/Tow Package and absolutely nothing else had these numbers from the CAT scale with a full tank and no occupants (I was outside the truck for the weigh):

    Front: 2400
    Rear: 1900
    Total: 4300

    That weight was with 12 miles on the OD straight off the dealer lot. I have of course added things since then, but out of curiosity I wanted the starting "naked" weight right from the dealer.

    EDIT: And for the curious CAT scales are suppose to have a scale division of 20 lbs and an accuracy for weights <10,000 lbs of +/- 20 lbs. My numbers here aren't rounded by me, that's what the scale actually reported and the actual weight per axle could be +/- 20 lbs different.

    lol I went and had my truck weighed a month or so ago. 2014 DCSB TRD Baja.

    No clue on the weight distribution, but the total weight was 5440lbs. That was with nearly full armor, sliders, winch, front and rear bumpers, bedrack, RTT, matching spare, 33" tires E-rated, full leaf pack replacement.

    He’s looking for stock weight to compare his truck which is similarly fat
