The sum of your weight and twice mines is 361 pounds

The D-500 had a maximum gross weight rating of 19,500 pounds, and could have a 14-ton hoist with extension boom. The standard engine was the 225 slant six, with 318 and 361 V8s optional. The new LA series 273 V8, lighter but as powerful as the old A-series 318, was optional.

You can't convert quarts into pounds without knowing the substance. quarts are measuring volume where as pounds are measuring weight. For example, Milk is lighter than water so a quart of water is going to weight more than a quart of milk.

Female Ideal Weight - Above Average Height The average height of a woman in the US is 5-foot-4. When considering the weight and height ratio, a 5-foot-5 woman should weigh between 113 and 138, 5-foot-6 between 117 and 143 and 5-foot-7 between 122 and 149. The weight and height ratios continue to increase at approximately 4.5 pounds at the low end and 5.5 pounds at the high end of the range, per inch of height. A 6-foot-tall woman's ideal weight range is 144 to 176 pounds and a 7-foot-tall woman's range is 198 to 242 pounds. Male Ideal Weight -- Under 6 Feet Tall Men have an ideal weight range similar to that of women, but their weights are higher per inch. A man who is 5 feet 11 inches tall has an ideal weight range of 155 to 189 pounds, which is significantly higher than the 140- to 171-pound range for women. Men under 6 feet tall can determine their ideal weight without consulting a height-to-weight ratio table by starting at 5-foot-11 and a weight of 155 to 189 pounds. Simply subtract 5 to 6 pounds per inch from the low of 155 pounds, and 6 to 7 pounds per inch from the high of 189 pounds. Thus, a 5-foot-5 man has a range of 122 to 150 pounds and a 5-foot-tall man has an ideal weight range between 95 and 117 pounds. Are There Ideal Weight and Height Ratios LIVESTRONG COM

The maximum gross vehicle weight is 3973 pounds. The 2002 PT Cruiser's curb weight (AT) is 3190 pounds; the curb weight (MT) is 3108 pounds. Thus you can't have more than about 800 pounds of cargo/passengers. The max trailer load is 1000 pounds (for the 2010 and probably for the 2002).

I hope this helps.

Thank you for using fixya.

Somehow this problem ended up under Vacuums!

However- I will pass along what my wife says: "Almost 2 times as long"

Same with Turkey in the oven-- She takes the weight, and multiply's the pounds by 20 minutes on the Turkey-- Thus twice as much weight takes twice as long..

I hope this helps-

If not-- try 'Kitchen' or something closer-- or try going on line?-- maybe compare 2 different sized crock pot recipe's of the same or similar meat?

A comment regarding the Specialized. Wheel base is a little short. May or may not have heel clearance for your rear panniers. Gearing is not quite low enough for my taste. I would exchange the 12-27 cassette for at least an 11-32. You will be hauling at least 45 to 50 pounds of racks, panniers, and gear. Plus 28-30 pounds for the bike and your 170 pounds. Grand total of upwards of 250 pounds. Plus water. All being propelled by your legs, lungs, and heart.
As far as training, hit the weights. Can't emphasis enough the importance of strength when you are riding day after day. If you are carrying any extra weight, do your best to be as lean as possible. Any and all extra weight will conspire to sap strength from you and contribute to fatigue.
I rode from Seattle to San Francisco. 3 weeks covering 1000 miles supported. Bike was about 7 pounds too heavy and I was about 25 pounds too heavy despite losing weight prior to my trip. I was very fatigued by the end of the trip. Your trip will be twice as long carrying more gear. Are you using an Adventure Cycle mapped route?
Also something to consider. Use a lighter weight bicycle and carry your gear in a B.O.B. trailer. Trailer carries the bulk of the weight, so you can use a lighter bicycle. No need for a heavy front tire and rim.
Good Luck

Your request is a little sketchy but here is a place to begin. Estimate how the total weight you want to raise. Purchase a rope rated for at least twice what you estimated. You will a need a frame and attach hardware capable of carrying twice the estimate too.
Now it gets fairly easy:
1. two single eye pulleys with 100 pounds tension pulled 1 foot will raise 100 pounds 1 foot.
2. two double eye pulleys (2 loops of rope) with 100 pounds of tension pulled 1 foot will raise 200 lbs 6 inches.
3. two triple eye pulleys (3 loops of rope) with 100 pounds of tension pulled 1 foot will raise 300 lbs 4 inches.
You should see the relationship.
