Title: Just weighed my wrangler
Post by: bisleywrangler on June 18, 2015, 07:50:15 PM
Took advantage of our load cell at work and did the corner weights of my wrangler, it' on 33's, has a winch and winch bumper and it came out at 1758kg, sounds a bit much to me, anyone else weighed theirs?

Sound light to me, I know a lot of modded ones are over 2000kg

I managed to get mine weighed at work, and it came in at 1.9T with the recovery gear on board (but no driver).

Taking a punt.....and with half an eye on the weight stats of the Pirate builds I reckon mine would be nearer 2,400kg.

Even though I threw away all the homely bits like roof doors and tailgate.... Oh.....and seats.....
I then lobbed a couple of heavy assed axles and armour and 2 winches and some 40's under it....
Topped it off with a jungle gym of a rollcage and I guess it's easy to build a 'fat boy'  :icon_super:

From all this then I guess mine is OK, and I guess it's only getting heavier. I weighed it as I'm planning on fitting coilovers and wanted to get the correct weight springs.

if you want to get technical then weigh on a flat surface with the driver sitting in the car for all measurments

I did it on a flat surface, well other wheels at the same height as the one on the load cell, i didn't have a driver in though.

my xj weighs 2,200 kg fully kitted to offroad, nicely balanced at 1,100kg per axle.

I'm actually building another wrangler and just weighed this one to get an idea. I like the fact your xj is equally balanced, not sure if it's important but it seems like a good idea.

I hope so  :hysterical:

The door tag says 3.5 tons  so I guess I'm OK.  ,just a difference between Yankee tons and metric tonnes :icon_super:

Being the Cummins diesel is tows my heavy junk to CF at 17mpg and local with raindrops at 21/22
Better than the GC that I burst before :hysterical:

That's good, my JK doesn't achieve that when I'm towing and its under 20 mpg when I'm not..
