Thanks for that link even if it only answers part of my quest as it only states the gravity point in the vertical axis.
Any idea where it sits on the horizontal or where I can find that info

Hans,

Based on the axle weights and 110 and 127 inch wheel base I calculate that:

for the 110 the CoG is approx 1060mm for the standard cab and 1067mm for the heavy duty cab, behind the center of the front axle.

for the 130 the CoG is approx 1311mm for the cab and 1386mm for the dual cab, behind the center of the front axle.

Defender Rover going on the seesaw on Vimeo

Video almost helps, defender needs to be balancing on the seesaw to find the cog, think slug_burner is on the money

I clicked on the link....but couldnt figure it out????????

Bugger, I couldn't view the vid on my phone and figured it was most likely a balancing act not straight drive on drive off. My bad.

My Perentie has a cog plate affixed near the seat box.
