How much does this weigh???

[Andy]

Well I'm not talkin' about you girlfriend. I finally weighed the Hero, trailer and all. Any guesses?

























4700 lbs. I didn't think my trailer weighed that much? Does anyone know much a 4.0 weighs?

 

[Greg]

I'd think a trailer was around 1000-1250 lbs??

The 4.0.... 350 lbs??

I'd say Greg is pretty close on the trailer weight, but if it is a longer trailer, I might just add a few hundred more.

I couldn't even guess how much a 4.0 weighs.

well the cherokee weighs in at about 3100 lbs as for factory specs. You have significant stripping going on.

each door probably weighs about70lbs.

rear hatch probably weighs about the same so

5 X 70 = 350 lbs

front windshield probably weighs about 50 lbs...

400.....

interior carpet, headliner, console, speakers....probably another 100 lbs....

500lbs...

so now you are down to about 2600,

now you swapped in dana 44s....you weight difference between a d-44 and stock 30/35 combo is not that much...maybe 100 lbs combined front and rear...

Tires weigh a TON especially with those gigantor SXs. 75lbs a piece on those steelys.

so add on about 400 lbs for tires and axles....

back to 3000lbs....

so I am going to stick with a nice round stock number of 3000lbs....

I guess every trailer will be different but I have always heard people say average trailers are about 1500...so if this is the case and the trailer is a little heavier duty than the standard trailer then spence would be about right...3K for the rig a about 1700 for the trailer...wow, thats still not too bad though...

I'm in for 1500 lbs. for the trailer and 3200 lbs. for the XJ .............{what do we win?}

 

[Hickey]

I say that trailer is 1800 lbs.

 

[Cody]

my 16' trailer w/ rails weighs 1750

I was hoping for under 3000 but that's ok, I'm pretty sure all the weight is down low.

 

[Hickey]
