most dumps also have scales in and out. a quick way just to say how much does it weigh? Then just weigh yourself and subtract. quick and easy.

when I weighted mine at the co-op I pull onto the scales and they gave me a total. Which is within 20 Lbs. Then I backed up until I had just the front tires on the scales, they wrote down the weight and then I pulled forward till the rear tires were on the scales. Maybe not the best way but it gave me a rough ideal of my front / rear ratio. 48/52%
May a note on how much gas you have in the tank. I got out of the car each time. I did have 50 lbs of tools and stuff in the trunk.

Hopefully the front wheel weight plus the rear wheel weight equaled the total car weight.:cool:

Bulldog, if you are coming to the TCC Spring Meet, I have a set of corner scales in my shop. I'm 30 minutes north of the Meet.

I got to get mine on the scales, the steering is sure a lot lighter since I went with the LS-3 and T-56!
