Jadmt,

That's about the right number. The ownners manual shows 2 door Ruby @ 4129 and I think the 4 door Ruby around 4400#. I think a lot of weights for stock Jeeps is way high. Maybe a lot of tools, equipment in Jeep during weighing. A half ton truck is around 5000# if I remember right and that should be heavier than a stock Jeep.
