Just pulled out the race car scales and loaded the Jeep on them, to my suprise she weighed in at 4539 lbs.

She has 48% rear weight and 51.5% left side weight, the thing that has me puzzled is the front tires are only 3 lbs different but the Left Rear has 136 lbs more on it. The Jeep was full of fuel with my survival box centered in the rear with no people in it.

What are yall weighing in at? Seems sorta fat to me! :D

Doesn't the fuel tank in a CJ- sit off to the left side??? I seem to remember the one on my '78 CJ-7 does. This would explain the difference in weight.

I haven't wieghed the Zuk yet but here's my tow vehicle numbers!

1999 Ford Super Duty F350 Dually (with a 50 foot trailer):
empty (w/145 gallons of fuel) - 17,300 lbs
loaded (w/23 Harley's) - 34,550 lbs

I'm legal by 800 lbs! (it goes by tire capabilities) Some people saw it at the Hammers a coupla months ago. I can carry 4 rigs.

at last scale peaking in i saw 5900- with 35 bfg's there gone now but its gotta be close-Jess:D

my buggy:

350
Sm 465
NP 203
D20
D60
14B

some tube and not much else

3800 lbs

4780# :eek:

4100 #
304
T18
D20
14bolt
60F
39.5's
stock frame w/ plates and heavy rear links
heavy ass toolbox and two spare shafts
dash, windshield there, back seat not
oh an 8274 too

My 71 K5:
All-iron 350
SM465/NP205
14 bolt rear with disk brakes
D44 front
steel wheels with 36" swamper radials
soft top
me in it and half a tank of gas

It weighted in at 4600 lbs at the dump. It'll weight a little over 5K once I get the cage and front bumper in


Bondo weight reduction program :flipoff2:

how about you lose some sheet metal :flipoff2:

Was 4100 with doors, Boggers, and a glass windshield.

Should be around 3900-4k (maybe I'll weigh it tomorrow) with 44" TSL's, half a Toyota cab, two thirds of a Toy frame, 22R, D60, 9", etc.

TPI, I'm kinda chuckling at the fact that you've got left side weight there... you shoulda posted your wedge and crossweight too. :) (am I even remembering the right terms?)

my blazer is a fat pig too...weighed in at 5700lbs with a full tank of gas and everything inside the truck takin out...spare tire tools rear seat etc etc...i could sure stand to loose some body pannels..i am sure the rubicon will do that for me this weekend tho :D :D

yeah not really dissing ya, just wondering how you keep those rear wheel openings so pretty.

I know mine is due for a chop here shortly with 38" needing some breathing room.

Sorry to go offtopic...just wondering if I was missing something.

MJ

Keep it pretty as long as you can. Soon enough you will get it in some nasty spot that will force you to remove some metal.

I think it is cool that you have a capable wheeler AND it looks good.

It's just too bad you live in F'ing Rustin, LA where there is NO place to wheel. :eek:

(I lived in S'port for 7 years :barf:

My 98 TJ is 4100#'s. D-60 rear , D-30 front , NP231 , 38.5's , stock 4.0 and AX15. No rear seat and the front fenders are gone , rear fenders are trimed.That was half a tank of gas.

Weighed my old '78 CJ5 once.

369" AMC/T15/D20

Crossweight is 2335 @51.4%, 136lb of wedge, 47.9% Rear weight. Do ya think she will make the turns? :D :D

Oh don't worry you can't see it in the picture but I have about 2" trimmed off the front and the tire was still eating it. I JUST finished putting my TJ flares on it and was able to trim about 2-3 inches more up front and a bunch out back.

You think the 40" boggers will rub? :eek:

Sorry to hear that.... Hey I have an RV will travel! Looks are a relative thing, I snap the pictures from the good side and forget about the smashed fender and crushed windsheild frame..... Heck I built it I AM going to use it!

If you can get that hellacious push outta the suspension... :)

And since you've got Swampers, just keep swapping tires from corner to corner till you get the stagger right. :p

My problem now is, I need to shave some more weight, and I'm about out of stuff to trim that isn't actually necessary. I'll be cutting a couple more feet of frame and the stock gas tank, plus about 10" of wheelbase out, but I doubt that it'll save me more than 50 pounds or so, once it's re-tubed to where it'll hold up. Removing the cab isn't much of an option (I can only remove about 30 pounds of that before I'm into no net gain due to having to reconstruct stuff that I chop off.

Where is all the weight coming from Scott? That is about 5000 pounds more than I expected. Besides, axles, tires, and wheels there is not much there. :confused:

36x12.50 SX, steel 15x8 wheels

3x5x.250 angle rocker guards
2 - 5 Gallon jerry cans
80lbs of tools
1 spare of every axle shaft
nother 100+lbs of spare parts, fluids, etc.
Driver

The list above is where the bulk of my weight comes from

Weighs in at 4,800#'s
Front axle 2,250
Rear axle 2,550

Are the heavy hitters dodging this one?

Just weighed Yeller and it scales in at 5960# with only a front cap no door bedsides or top, its lost 800# since this spring it was 6800#!

front: 3480#
rear: 2480#
total: 5960#

All with tools and 1/2 tank of fuel.

Sold my 78 K20 longbed this spring :(
It weighed 6400 empty with a BB454, sm465, 205, 44front/14blt. rear on 35" Bfg's. Man I miss that big block...

Currently my 884runner/V6/35"MTR's...tips the scales at 4600.

My 01 TJ, don't know, but much less than either of these!
