Are most Overlanding rigs overweight?

[chorky]

My original overland build weighed in at 6800 lbs with me in it. Just removed all of it and had a new Project M camper from 4 Wheel Campers installed last week and I am currently at 6100 lbs. Not fully loaded for a trip but when it's all said and done, I will be at 6300 or less, a huge improvement. Part of that is the effective design and the use of lots of lightweight aluminum on the Project M.

This is a pretty slick option! Lighter and cheaper than the Alu-Cab for sure. You should do a little writeup and a bunch of pics when you get it loaded up. I'd like to see more.

It's interesting that the listed weight is just a couple pounds over the listed weight of my canopy/RTT combo - although I think the canopy is much heavier than the listed spec.

I'll try to post something up here but there will be a feature article in OutdoorX4 Magazine thus summer on it. Stay tuned.......
