Someone was trying to get a wieght for their Cj awile back. I think it was a random post cause I cant find it on a Thread search.

I took my CJ7 over the scales at work today. I have 35s along with a winch , hardtop and steel doors. I was right around 3400 lbs not counting the driver. :D I'll get a wieght with no top or doors next week.
 
Mine is 3675 lbs with full 20 gal gas tank and spare stuff along with a Warn 8274 winch. I run 33's
My fat butt wasn't in it either:D
The Jeep's GVWR is 4150 lbs.

Its the end of the week so my 15 gallon tank should be lite. My gas gauge always shows Empty. :D I subtracted for the extra wieght in the driver seat. How did you wiegh yours? The reason I ask is Id like to keep this as accurate as possible for people. Our scales are audited every other month.
 
Last time I had the 3B on the scales it was 3150. I'm hoping to knock that down to around 2900 lbs with the new engine and getting the 8274 back on it (currently being rebuild and running with the old Warn 5721). I have 33-12.5's on it.
 
I remember that discussion. It was about adding roll cages, I believe...

Well the top and doors are off. I'll tip the scales again at 7:00 on my way home.
 
...there was discussion about one looking really top-heavy, which progressed into talk of over-all weight...

Mine came in at 2800 with driver and half a tank at the scales.

Appreciate you chiming in. Is your CJ5 lifted and bigger tires or stock? It helps for a reference point. :chug:
 
1980 CJ5 , AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l , T-176 , Dana 300 , AMC20 Rear, Dana 30 Front, 4" RC Suspension lift, soft top, rusty frame reinforced with some metal, rusted out steel body, soft top, no driver weighed in at 3200 pounds. I was a bit surprised.
 
Jeep put the GVW at 3750 and 4150. I know that's not the actually weight, but ya 'all's numbers are coming in pretty low compare to that. So, load those babies up with all kinds of gear!

Glad to hear that your driving a Jeep back and forth to work Pete. :chug:
 
'75, CJ5 , AMC 360, T-15 , Dana 20 , big bumpers, lots of steel in sport cage, heavy rear bumper with gas can, 21 gallon fuel tank, 31x10.5 tires, no stinkin' radio

~3850 lbs. on a truck scale

This thread is from 3 years ago lol. I'm making progress with the Virginia Jeep though, just haven't updated the build thread. Very close to getting state inspection.

Warms my heart when this happens and I didn't do it. There are tons of threads I've never waded thru, and I usually reply only to find it dates back to the Nixon era LMAO. I would love to add my weight to the thread, but I would need a week just to find all my parts, much less get em to the scales..... one day, tho :thug:
I guess I could weigh all the parts separate and add it all up HAHAHAHAHA

I'm making progress with the Virginia Jeep though, just haven't updated the build thread. Very close to getting state inspection.

Glad someone else is making progress.....
 
Yep. :doh: I'm really bad about checking the dates! Guess I'll just go get :wasted:

But, I really was hoping you were driving one of your Jeeps everyday again, Pete. :grinjeep:
 
LOL. I dare you.



Ok - the only thing that chaps my butt worse than not getting to work on the heap is having to turn away from a dare. And I hate a chapped butt...... where's my chapstick??
