With the fuel lite on, gauge reading empty, my 200 lbs but in the seat. It weighed in at 5900 lbs. Holy Crap that V6 doesn't stand a chance.

 

actually, that's not too bad. i talked to mel the other day and he said his came in at over 7000

 

 

This is a great thread!!! I don't think enough of us are thinking about how heavy these Jeeps become when you start doing mods. Nobody thinks it's a big deal on the "Evap skid vs relocate" threads when I bring up the fact that a skid weighs an extra 20 lbs. over relocating it.
I'm headed to Bronco Peak this weekend and I've already got the hardtop in the garage. I'm going to take off the doors and remove my rear seat in an effort to drop some weight. I may even remove my PureJeep rear bumper and tire carrier and remove my tailgate and strap my spare in the back.

Once again Great thread.

 

ummm, installed a ton of heavy crap

 

What would be standard weight for a stock 2 door & 4 door?

 

weight in and of itself is not a problem - it's a matter of where it is that'll screw you up on the trail. getting rid of things like your hard top and doors for the trail will free up a lot of weight up high and help keep your cog down but you might want to keep things like your bumpers on as they are attached to your frame and should help you out.

for a trail like bronco peak, you'll do just fine but i would recommend that you go doorless. for one, it'll be hot as hell out there and for 2, you'll be gald that you did towards the bottom where it gets real tight.

 

on a 2-door, the curb weight of an X is 3,760 lbs. and a rubicon is 4,129 lbs. everything else is somewhere in between.

on an unlimited, the curb weight of an X is 4,075 lbs and a rubicon is 4,340 lbs. and everything else is somewhere in between.

 

I asked the question on weight, and it was answered within 5 min. wow ...I love this forum.

Thanks WOL

 

thanks, thats actually interesting to know. Now I just have to find a place to weigh the JK. Since we are on the topic of weight. What would be considered too much and thus start to cause a worry?
