Am I supposed to be surprised?

With all the talk on here regarding GVM, GCM, ATM, TARE, MASS and whatever other acronyms I can think of, it was about time for me to pull my head out of the sand and check my weights. Why would I even think I had to? After all it is an old school LandCruiser that should be able to handle a few after market accessories....... Right?......Surely???????
I have 2 batteries, 2 empty fridges, full long range fuel tank plus sub ,empty water tank, 2 spare tyres/wheels, winch, bullbar, alloy roof rack, no passengers, outback drawer system with two drawers (one full of recovery gear and one empty), cargo barrier and whatever other stuff, odds and ends, cooking gear etc....
So basically the same sort of stuff that any outback traveller will have and I weighed in today at 3200kgs and the GVM states 3180kg.
By the time I add people, all the going away stuff in the back plus on the roof rack and water in the tanks this car will probably weigh over 4000kgs. If I put the caravan on the back there is another 300kgs of tow ball weight which adds to the GVM as well.
Looks like most 4x4s will be over their GVM without even really trying.
Food for thought.
OH, the photo of the weight is supposed to show 3.20T. I couldn't catch it well because the numbers were flickering with the camera.
