Whats your Jeep weigh?
So i am getting ready for a 2 rig hauler and need some idea of what my Jeep weighs. Im sure someone has a close setup and has had it weighed.
Specs 258, t176, dana300, dana 60 front, gm 14 bolt rear, 40" iroks, complete family cage(DOM) and rack. It wil be full of fuel but all camping gear etc will be in the bed of my truck. 2nd rig is a CJ7 but with 44 and 9" on 35"s so they gotta be close in weight. No guessing please, tons of searching and I came up with 2000-6000

As interesting as it is to know how much these things weigh...
Honestly, it doesn't really matter what they weigh (3-6k). A trailer long enough for two jeeps (26' MIN!!! but probably a 28') should have at a minimum 7k axles. 5200lb axles just won't be enough for the jeeps and the weight of the trailer. 10k lb capacity gets used up REALLY quick with 2 jeeps and tools, camping stuff, extra parts, etc. Plus, you wouldn't want to tow frequently with a load that close to the max weight of the trailer...

I agree! 26' would be the bare minimum for two CJ/YJ/TJ length vehicles on a trailer, even then it would be tight. In other words, one may not get the best weight distribution or one of the Jeep's may overhang the end of the trailer.

Yup, of course I reread his post and it says hauler, so maybe he mean truck/toter/etc.
![]() In that case, this thread will soon become a "my cummins pulls 25k at 95mph and gets 30mpg." That said, pulling 8-20k lbs, I'd want a diesel and big brakes... something not necessarily on a 1/2 ton. So, are ya talking about a trailer or a truck?
