get a shipping scale. accurate to .01 is good. you can find them for under 150.00. i forget who makes mine but its .01 and up to 400lbs. they come with calibration weights and stuff.
your scale is great for pranks though. a long story short my G/F was doing a diet. she is 5,4 and weighed around 130lbs. she wanted to ''tone'' up and drop 10lbs. i did not like that idea at all. i feel she is perfect looking. so when she hit 125 on are bathroom scale basically i took it apart and rigged it up. it still started at 0 but when she would step on it it would read a good 20lbs more then she really was. she bought it for a good 3 weeks. hahahahah. then she figured it out. i didnt get any for a while. but it was worth it. she is still under 130 but not below 125. i think she is stronger then me now though with all the gym and fitness.

What do you guys think about eliminating the cross member and running the front motor mount bracket right off the core support? (core support is tubular/chromoly from rail to rail). All the other motor mounts are Torque solutions.
I talked about it with someone else, their thoughts were as long as the core support is strong enough, which it is, it should pose no problem. I would agree.
Any other input would be great.

So you think the motor at full TQ depends more on the rear mount then front motor mount for the roll affect? It'll be easy to fab my own solid mount that goes right to the factory bracket that's bolted to the trans.

Your idea might be worth looking into. I was just speaking of removing mounts without some sort of replacement.

The load will be the same on that core support scott, the stock north south bar, bolts in the same location, where you are going to be placing the new extension piece.
IMO , there are no ill effects of doing it the way I had mentioned.
FEA is required to give empirical values to my statement though.
