WTB: Lightly Used Dead Body ~190lbs

Not owning a free weight set up, large bags of rocks, cinder blocks, or a quantity of lead I thought I might check here and see if anyone had a body they could give up? So... anyone? No?

My solution to driver simulation for height, align, & corner weighting at home:



1 bucket of water, 1 bucket of oil dry, 1 bucket of coarse blast material and 10 boards I usually use under the jack stands yielded ~187 lbs ... better hit the gym

Interesting note, with 22/29 hollow t-bars and all poly bronze/monoball bushings:

Front dropped ~3 mm
Rear dropped ~6 mm

From un-weighted measurements.

+1 on the Real Doll. You could park her in the passenger seat to take advantage of the car pool lanes.....

Few would admit to owning one, but many know how much they cost.

Actually, never mind. Some sensitive souls might consider it in poor taste ...
