Vehicle weight is a very confusing topic.
Kerb weight, unladen weight, mass in service etc all have different definitions.

For the CoC the empty weight is the "mass in service" or "mass in running order". You can look it up, but this definition includes all fluids, a full tank of fuel and 75kg allowance for the driver. It does not include any accessories that you might have bought either factory or aftermarket.

@zzeuzz So you are look ing at:
2930kg. Mass in service. Assuming you weigh 75kg and have a full fuel tank.
60kg. Weight of wife
50 kg. Winch
80kg. Roof rack and tent

3120kg. Total

That leaves 380kg for your camping kit, offspring and any other heavy accessories.

You might go over 3500kg, but probably not.

The more you add the more massive it gets

Wow.

Harry Metcalfe weighed a stock one with him on it and half a tank of diesel at a calibrated weighbrige: 2940kg. He said he’s 80kg so 2860kg

It would be very easy to creep over 3.5t with some mods, a couple of big blokes, camping stuff and a beer fridge

I found the weight issue early in the piece - Diesel Trialmaster Utility, winch, roof rack, fender checker plate, dual battery = 3,150kg with no one inside and a full tank of fuel. No rear seat in the utility but a steel box that looks like it can handle a fully loaded pallet. I think replacing this with a plywood floor will help. Replacing steel wheels with alloys is the only other option I can see but in reality, neither of those changes will have a significant effect.

The weight is in the running gear. You want built to last 20-year vehicle, this is the price we pay.
