Hi everyone,
I'm hoping someone might have accurate figures for the unsprung masses front and rear.
I used the old fashioned technique and weighed each corner on the scales after jacking the car up.
I have 45kg for the front per corner, and 144kg per corner on the rear.
I did these measurements with my BFG A/T 275/65 tyres (tyre + 17" alloy rim = 34kg), so keep in mind the factory grandtreks will be lower in weight.
These measurements suggest the rear solid axle, drive axles, gears, trailing arms etc. all add up to about 220kg.
I've chased Toyota up today to try and get accurate figures, but they couldn't find anything.
