What does your rig weigh?

[SeanP]

I just borrowed a friends race scales and weighed my rig in preparation for coilovers in the front.

LF 1365
RF 1255
LR 947
RR 1050

Total 4617. What a pig! This is with my new cage mostly complete, with front seats in, no carpet or rear seats, 1/2 tank of gas. I do know that my wheel/tire combos are 134# each and the D60 is a bit over 500# with the steering.

Any other weights out there?

SeanP

[Jes]

I hope that mine is still around 3500 but that might be a (crack)pipe dream.

Did you notice that you're heavier on opposite corners? Just curoius, because it almost seems like there's a preload built into either the chassis or the suspension. Are you sure the chassis was perfectly level when you installed the cage?

[hpi_jeep]

4100 with D60/D70 38's full tank of fuel and me in it.

Yeah, that bias has me puzzled. I even switched the scales from side to side to check the reading and it's accurate. The front makes sense because the diff is on the drivers (left side). The rear is a mystery. I just threw my seats back in side and the passenger side seat is flipped more towards the rear which might explain it. Also, the exhaust runs on the passenger side.

As far as the chassis being level, I did this in my garage which may or may not have a straight slab. I do know that the URF crew wasn't very level at all during the entire cage build. Except for Lazy Gary, our designated Plasma Cutterer. ;)

Cage? Bumpers? Tcase? Drivetrain?

[hpi_jeep]

no cage, low profile bumpers, no tire carriers or winch, some tube with shackle mounts. 4.0 aw4 tranny and no transfer case right now.
that is without any doors or hatch, and there is some (well alot ) of sheet metal removed.

[Matt]

Sean don't feel bad mine is a true tank at 5000lbs - 5100lbs depending on gear...

Used to be upwards of 5600lbs - but then I clopped the back off...

4.0l, AW-4, NP242, Ford 9", D30/44 hybrid, steel wheels +38.5"SX, EXO...

weight dist is +900lbs up front - have yet to check the side to side weights

Yup - I got pretty aggressive with the sawzall and the other half was I sorted through mounds of spare parts, tools and other stuff I used to bring on the trail for myself and the other guys I usually wheel with (they are on their own now!)...

After the 6th or 7th trip of 60+lbs of stuff from the jeep to my spare room - I decided to make a smaller stripped down trail kit :shocked:

I thought I would save even more - especially when I needed a hand lifting the roof and rear exo stuff off - (but I suppose I added a fair bit back)

:laugh2: That is funny!
I too will only bring along spare parts for myself on the trails. It looks like I will evently headed down that direction by chopping the back off, but will it be before I flip the heep or after.
On the O.T, what are your plans on for XJ now since you're about to complete your project Willy? Did I tell you it a sweet azz rig (Your MB)!

[Matt]

OT: Thanks

As for the XJ - wheel it!!! Now that my short list of stuff is getting near the end I want to spend more time out in the woods and less in the repair mode...

There are a few tight trails around here that the MB just will not fit down so the XJ definitely has a place....

Matt

Only recent change was to the doors. I gutted the glass & all the internal junk, & made the fronts into half doors. That cut a lot of weight.

:twak: slim that thing down some.

[CRASH]

For me, it's easier to admit that my junk is a portly trail rig and build appropriately. Hard to slim down and maintain the utility part of the SUV.

Yeah, there are some climbs my junk won't make. Oh well, a pull on the Jager and a pull on the cable makes me feel better about the situation.

[Roxtar]

:twak: slim that thing down some.How, chop the body up?
If I wanted a TJ or MJ I'd buy one.
If I wanted a tube buggy I'd build one.

I spent the past couple nights removing all things heater related, good for 29 lbs. & hte best part is it's all up front & above the COG.

A/C is good for 21 lbs.

Center cosol is good for 9 lbs.

There's a start for ya. All things that you can do without.

PaulAnd then I wouldn't have a heater, or AC, or a convenient place to put switches, ARB controls, and coffee cup.
What next, no power to the Corbeaus?

Could I do without them?
Sure, I live near Chicago, never gets cold in January, or hot in August. I could just hold my drink.

I could remove some cage triangulation.
Should be good for a few pounds.

Hey now, the Flowmaster keeps everything nice and toasty in the winter and the no windshield and roof thing keeps me breezy in the summer.
You can put in bicycle bottle holders for drinks.
Cutting off the C-pillars saved me 60 more lbs, so I'm now down to

3700

Keep cutting. There is still a good 200 you can get out of there.

Hell, if I wanted to remove 200lbs that badly, I'd just cut the lap belt...

If we're really down to the last 50-100 pounds, I think it's time to start posting pics of GF's and wives. :D

Paul, you don't let your wife and kid ride with you anymore, do you?

Garry's not my wife, he just cooks my meals on the lakebed. & he's been put on notice. If he doesn't get his buggy done he'll have to find a new ride.

p.s. Leilani doesn't want to ride with me:tear: something about JV not looking like the 'Con.

Which reminds me, have you decided to trade your kid's future for the lakebed?

It's a buyer's market up here right now, mega inventory......

Actually, we're heading up to Folsom tonight. But our market tanked too, so we kinda missed the boat to sell.

My stock 4-door '91 HO tipped the scale at pretty accurate 5000 lbs. loaded with two persons, 20 metres of DOM tubing, and various industrial tools.

You dont want to know. (2 lbs shy of 5k lb). :(


And the best part.... Here she is dragging a 4,000 lb Mustang/Trailer combo down a 3,000 mile stretch from Homer, AK to NorCal. No major issues, whatsoever.

That reminds me of Jes's junk when he broke the stock roof rack with lumber.

[xtremexj94]

Mine weighs in around 5200lbs with tools and extra fuel. Not too bad for 42s, Unimog diffs and exo-cage.

3420 with a full tank of gas!

That's an 89 two door, 35" Dunlops, lexan doors, no back seat and homebrew bumpers. Otherwise full body...

A year and a half later, I weighed in at 4260, but I was 200 of it, so 4060# net, 640# gain.

Some of that is steel doors (it's now December in Ohio), a little for the drop brackets, and I've moved from Dunlops to BFGs...

The rest was spares and tools, loaded for the trail.

I may carry too much stuff...

Just under 3500 here, no tools just a spare tire.
