    Why don't you weight it and find out. :stirthepot: Your tent and bed rack are heavier than my topper, but I also have full skids.

    Going to be 5,000 lbs on the dot with the GFC plus beer weight. :cool:

    Good lord, how much crap do you have to add to a Tacoma to make it weigh over 5k? My caged, SAS’ed, dual cased truck on 37’s is only 4300. Hell my 7.3 4x4 F250 is about 6k

    Fat ones are a better ride. Nobody likes to admit it.

    Do you want to be quoted in someone's sig?

    Because that's how you get quoted in someone's sig.

    I thought so too but weighed it with the t19 hooked up. No fluids it’s 728.

    I’m honestly surprised, I always thought a 6bt was 1k and figured a 4bt would be 750

    Kinda hard to get a good idea until I get it mounted and drive around in it, and that's not going to happen for a couple months.

    Going to rip out all of the interior, clean everything (not like it needs it), sound deaden, and install the seat at the same time.
