- 1984 cj7 RENEGADE, Hard Top, factory air, reman 258 I6, ax15, D 300, D 30, AMC 20 with one piece axle, welded tubes and a searchers truss system, 4.56 gears, 4" lift, BFG 33x12.5x15, DirtWorx front and rear bumpers, rock sliders
Decided to run it up the highway and check out it's road handling after the additions and stopped into a truck weigh scale for giggles. I was curious to see how much a hardtop and steel doors changed things. With nearly a full tank of gas (about 100 pounds) and the hi-lift jack (about another 45 pounds) and it came out at 3740 pounds. Who new? I was thinking it was going to blow past 4000, Pleasantly surprised. Looks like I'll be towing it to Moab. As much as I enjoy driving the jeep, the Suburban will make the trip much more pleasurable. I'll also be able to get it home if something "unplanned" happens. Peace of mind vacationing
