Curb weight?


Recommended Posts

2.5/auto/4x4/lwb

bench seat

stereo with sub

spare tire

steel wheels

larger gas tank (2/3 full)

slightly heavier rear bumper

no front bumper at that weight

drop-in bed liner

heavier LCAs, track bar, coils

manual windows and doorlocks

plexi rear window

40 lbs of tools

undercoating

hood sound deadenor removed

 

That's all the weight changes I can think of. My buddy rolled on the same scale after me with his '99 4.0/auto/4x4 Cherokee at 3850.

I thought all MJs were fat pigs like mine, but maybe I have something wrong.

My truck weighs 4050 lbs on 31s... 2.5L, auto, 4wd, lwb...

I don't think my tires, stereo, and small (10"x10"x24") toolbox weigh 800 lbs.

 

Were you in the truck when it was weighed?

Nope

How much does everyone else's truck weigh?

I'm feeling hefty right now.

all that stuff adds up. and gas is 7 pounds a gallon so your looking at 105ish pounds of gas there and oil and coolant and tranny fluid. 4000 seems right don't feel fat, you should see my tuck on the scales :mad:

the 86 owners manual states "Curb weight (base vehicle) 3093 lbs"

the 90 owners manual states "Curb weight (base vehicle) long box 4x2-2955.2lbs 4x4-3129.9lbs and short box 4x2-2897.6lbs 4x4-3072.3lbs"

 

keep in mind only the lwb was being produced in 86

I guess a base vehicle would have the 2.5L? A 4.0 weighs about 525 turnkey, but I don't know what a 2.5L weighs?

so is this accurate? I just weighed mine and I'm thinking of shaving some lbs if possible. I came in at 4240 lbs, full 22 gal tank, tools and high lift, no spare tire and without myself.

Probably not.  I stand by the numbers in the first post, which are for low option/stripper models, but consider nothing to be gospel unless I weighed it myself.

 

Throw your added junk (tools, jack, girlfriend, etc) on a good digital scale and you'll be surprised how fast it adds up.

 

I got sick of the wildly varying numbers I got for the weight of everything under the sun and bought a strain gauge for my hoist.
