My '87 4kq weighs 2715. No gas (18.1 USgal tank), no driver, 205-55-14 BFG
R1 / stock Ronals, mats/spare/jack out, working AC and all other factory
systems (even includes my Bosch driving lights). This was on a four-wheel
digi scale, so there was no "cheeze" factor. With my 250 lbs in the seat,
it's 60.0/40.0 for distribution, and VERY even side to side (don't have the
by-wheel numbers right here; if you're _really_ interested I'll look them up).
