Anyone know an approximate of the bare weight of an xj body? (no engine, tranny, doors, guts, axles..ect) Stripped down to only a dash. I've got a line on a cheap rotisserie (used from a local body shop) but the gross weight limit is about 3k lbs.
 
My '97 with just rear seat, pass seat, and part of carpeting removed (engine,tranny,tires,axles, etc all still in place), weighed 3279lbs on a truck scale. I assume just the unibody would be well within the limits of a 3000lb piece of equipment.
 
Should be in the neighborhood of 15-1600. The newer ones will be a little heavier, as will a 4-door. A friend of mine rotisseried his 2 door 1991 on a 2k-capacity unit with no probs. Sounds like his was as bare as yours.

Im negotiating the price now (trying to trade some tire work/oil change) in the deal. he wants 400 for it out the door, I'm gonna try to give him a good deal on some tires/oil change for 200 out the door.
