Our 2-door is about 5150 lbs with driver, passenger, and gear. Weighed several times during trips, but never empty. Guessing that about 300 pounds is in winch, bumpers, and skids. Tried to minimize that with synthetic winch rope and a stubby front bumper.

After going through three sets of pinion gears (one front, two rear) with my porker of a Jeep, I finally upgraded to Prorock axles, 44 front (originally a 30) and 62 rear (basically a 60). That was at my mechanic's recommendation, who said I would keep going through gears unless I did something. I haven't weighed it in forever, but I truly do load it down. Last time, probably eight or nine years ago, it weighed 6800 pounds.



BTW, if you watch the Nevada Backcountry Discovery Route video by Touratech, you'll see that the ADV bikers running it had a Jeep JK as a chase vehicle. They had it really loaded down. So much so that it broke a wheel off its lug nuts. So, your question and concern are good.

if you have a truckstop anywhere around they will often have a CAT scale. If none around, a stone yard will have scales as well as that is how they determine how much stone you're buying (they weigh you before and then again after you are loaded up). those scales probably aren't as precision calibrated though as they only care about the difference in weights rather than a super accurate starting weight.
