Not sure if this helps anyone but I weighed some random **** today.

New 42 mtrk: 93.3 lbs

~50% 36x13.50x15 bias irok 60 lbs

15x10 old school trail read bead lock with rings and no bolts: 26.6 lbs

Stock samurai 15x5: 19.4 lbs

Old flat center stazworks 17x9 with large rock ring: 57.8

50% 32x10 maxxis carnivore on stock samurai wheel with speedway weld on beadlock kit: 61 lbs

Early 3.8 atlas 32sp in and out with aa Toyota flanges, no shifters and no oil: 100.6 lbs

These were all done with a digital bathroom scale.

Perhaps an ignorant question (but I won't know if I don't ask): What is a good brand/model hoist scale to buy for this sort of thing and wouldn't that be better than the wheel scale method (based on the issues we've documented about where you place the scales under a complete drivetrain)?

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to own a set of wheel scales to get corner weights for suspension, but that's sort of cost prohibitive for my budget. That said, I'm not sure I can even afford a 'quality' hoist scale....depending on what those run.

I know Vevor is cheap Chinesium....I just dont' know if it's acceptable for this purpose:

So; suggestions?

Mine is just an Amazon special 2,000Lb crane scale. Seems accurate enough based on my body weight hanging off it. I can post up exactly which one it is if you're interested, but I don't know if it is any better than the scales people discussed using in the first page or two of this thread.

 

['84 Bronco II]

I donated my BW1356 to willis_racing and decided to get a weight on it before he picked it up.

76.0Lbs for an HD transfer case, wet (yes I did a tare with the rigging attached to the scale)

 

[arse_sidewards]

That doesn't surprise me at all. Those ****ers are light for what they can take.

 

['84 Bronco II]

Iron head and block (aluminum intake) Ford 5.0L originally out of a '95 F150 with alternator, power steering pump, and smog pump, wet with oil and coolant. No flywheel/flexplate, 512Lbs. Only thing non-stock is the remote oil filter adapter.

All iron Ford 5.0L originally out of a '95 F150 with alternator, power steering pump, and smog pump, wet with oil and coolant. No flywheel/flexplate, 512Lbs. Only thing non-stock is the remote oil filter adapter.

Doing anything with it?

Doing anything with it?

I was trying to use it for mock up, but the tall ass truck intake is screwing me.

 

['84 Bronco II]

Found some good engine weights posted in the Rock Buggy group on Facebook.

5.3L iron block (bored .030) - 248 Lbs.
5.3L aluminum block - 134 Lbs.

Fully dressed iron block 5.3L - 582 Lbs.

Ford Ecoboost 4 cylinder (probably a 2.3?), no accessories - 269 Lbs.

4.0L, Aw4, Dana 300 complete - 800 Lbs

 

['84 Bronco II]

JL Rubicon M220 rear axle with an Artec truss, bump stop risers, and a track bar riser: 299.0 lbs. (I forgot to tare the 2lbs. of rigging before taking the picture)

JL Rubicon M210 front axle with an Artec truss and gussets + a track bar riser: 382.0 lbs.

 

['84 Bronco II]

2007 Sterling 10.5: 429 Lbs.

From Brennan Metcalf (I forgot his user name on here):

Ultimate Dana 60 front with JK brackets: 533Lbs.

Ultimate Dana 60 rear with JK brackets: 469 Lbs.

 

[fl0w3n]

Dana 50 bare, with open carrier and whatever gears. I weighed it like this to compare to the fabricated housing, whenever I get around to that. Knuckles out and shafts will be moot at that point.

181 lbs

Follow up from him on the stock stuff

Also came across a thread with people posting random weights I thought I’d share. None of these are mine

Pretty much exactly the same as the ball joint 60 I had; only 3 Lbs. difference. What are you doing with that one?

Will eventually wind up under my trail Explorer most likely. Couldn't pass up the good deal when I found it. I'm surprised on the weights, I thought the Kingpin parts would account for more.

 

[gt1guy]

Is that lights on the knuckles? If so, that's a cool idea.

Not mine but looks like they are lights.

 

[arse_sidewards]

Literally right on the max weight for normal non-freight shipment.

An assembled case or a bucket not containing a second case worth of of "this bearing is used but nice enough I'd use it" consumable parts would put it just under the threshold.

 

[RustyC]

Trail Gear Fab 9 housing 3.5 x .375 tube. Cut to use Branik 05 up unit bearing cups and = 68" wms. Upper link tabs are 3/16" very minimal weight added.
Housing bare = 80 lbs.
Housing with Yukon nodular 3.25 empty = 118 lbs.
Housing, third and unit cups = 137 lbs.
Housing, third , cups and unit bearings = 185 lbs.

 

[RustyC]

14 bolt from a 2005 GM2500hd. brackets cleaned of tubes.
Empty housing = 119 lbs
Empty housing with hubs and bearings = 159 lbs.

 

[RustyC]

I am surprise how close the Fab 9" is to the 14 bolt.
Yes the pinion supports, gears and diff or spool in the 14 bolt will be heavier but the base is very close to the same.

 

['84 Bronco II]

Not quite apples to apples, but that is pretty interesting that the 14 Bolt is actually lighter in a comparable state of assembly.
