Haven't heard anyone mention bash plates yet.
Maybe we forget about them as they are under the car.
I have 3x3mm plates which I can't remember what each weigh but it all ads up.

If you have 4mm more again.

Now I have added the dual battery & 4b&s cabling I really need to get a better idea of my tare weight to I reckon.

Ronny Dahl Just put out a good YouTube vid In regards to the right 4WD for you and talks about accessories and weights.
It might help.

Watched that today and it's a great watch! I've been getting some info back from manufacturers about their bar weights too, Ironman commercial delux for an MUX comes in at 86kgs and 45kgs for their side steps, PIAK replied asking what info I wanted then when I asked for specifics didn't respond haha honestly why the big secret??? As mentioned about kerb weight is what the car weighs with a full tank of petrol, in the case of a prado if that includes both tanks and 780kgs of additional payload then a prado might be a pretty good option for upgrading.

I spoke to pedders about their gvm upgrade kit for the MUX and seems like a viable option to stay legal (but also expensive) Incase the setup goes over for a bigger trip.

Appreciate everyone's responses so far as it's been very helpful

Looking online I think custom off-road have the best range and most affordable too for most models, they also put the full weights up on their website so I will definitely be going with a set of their protection regardless of the car I choose (I think I left bashplates off my original list)
