help please!! weight of an MJ.

[Beachbum1236]

Hey Guys. I need some help. I need to transport my MJ across a bank of water. The only problem I have with moving it across is not knowing how much it weights. It is a 86, 2.5L I4, long bed, 2wd, manual trans. IF anyone could give me the closest idea of how much it weighs it would be extremely greatly appreciated!!!!!

 

thanks in advance!!

(I'm thinking its over 1100 lbs??)

[Pete M]

Roughly 3000 lbs.

3000 lbs, ok, well, I think I'll need a bigger barge....

 

Thanks again. :eek:

Wellll over 1100. 3000 sounds about right.

2.5l, auto, 4x4, 31s on steelies, 3800 lbs.

-auto = ~50 lbs

-4x4 = ~ 200 lbs

-5" of tire ~ 200 lbs?

I'm just under 4000, or at least thats what the junkyard scale said when I hauled some scrap the other day. Gotta figure weight of tires and bumpers in with my weight though...

Depends how it's equipped. Go to a scale for comercial transport (when it's closed would be best) and see for yourself.

 

 

Mine weighs about 4000 without me in it. Or did. But it's not exactly stock.

 

 

However, my 2wd LWB only weighed about 3400-3600 (can't quite remember, the scales are in Kg, which doesn't help.)

That's what I was thinking. A lot of truckstops have scales, & if you're not in the big city, check with a grain company. Anyone that buys grain from farmers will have a scale. I took my truck & gooseneck with my TJ loaded up to our local grain company to weigh it. Needed to find out if I needed heavier licence plates on the truck. Squeeked by with 400 pounds to spare

If you're talking about barging it across open water, I don't think that you'd want to be anywhere near the capacity of the barge!

 

:eek: is right!

Guys, guys, guys!

 

His location says he's on Exuma Bahamas. How many commercial truck scales do you think he has access to? :brows:

They don't grow corn in the Bahamas? :D
