Today I recycled 140# of steel and the empty weight with me(187# buck), 1/2 tank of gas, full size spare, jack, and maybe 10# of misc. was 3200#:

HA!! I know that yard, PG Scrap over in Greenbelt. My last copper haul paid for my Miller 211 back in September.

 

[gradon]

Yep, 140# of steel only got me $8

 

[hubs97xj]

I was 3820# with me (220#), and less than a quarter tank the last time I was across the scales without the trailer.

No carpet, rear seat, headliner, trim in the back, or speakers atm(need another set). It does have a mopar hitch. 96 SE 2dr 2wd ax15. The SE didn't come w/ pw, pl, rear wiper, or tach, but did have a roof rack that I took off.

Interesting. My 2 door with me is about 3650.

 

[Root Moose]

My stock XJ (4 door, AW4, 4.0) weighed in at ~3200lb on the scales.

My piggy, built XJ weighed in at ~4200 lb IIRC.

 

[PseudoSport]

Our race 95 Cherokee 2 door 2wd AW4 with gutted interior came in at 2,677 lbs with a full tank of fuel and no driver. Still surprised at how light we got it.

 

[gradon]

Mine still has AC&components, windshield wiper/res, charcoal cannister, and passenger seat, so the lowest I can go is ~2900 for auto-x.

So I recycled more metal today and with me in it(185-90# w/ clothes), 1/8th tank of gas, no spare, no jack&lug it weighed 3000lbs. It's ~2800#! I will be adding leaves to stiffen up the packs in the near future. Since last weigh, I've switched to a 25# miata battery, removed beefy mopar hitch, and removed the plastic gas tank cover.

My XJ Laredo weighs in at 3450lb with a 1/2 tank of fuel and no driver, and that's despite it already being lightened by 75lb (removed gas tank/tranny/engine skid plates, removed roof rack bars). Still has everything else that it came with from the factory, and is 4-door 4WD.
I could easily drop 120lb just by removing the rear seats, front passenger seat, spare wheel, and the jack/handle/lug nut brace while still retaining all my other creature comforts.

As scrap your butt is worth $10 if it was steel and your XJ $160.
I need to find a scale near me.

#430 is 2900 lbs, but that includes the cage and some other race stuff. The LSx actually lightened it up and noticeably improved F/R weight balance.

I probably will go with the composite leaves to lose another 80+#. I haven't ditched the ac yet, even though I've only used it once or twice this summer. Rich people could pay Hesco $2K for the aluminium head and lose another 30#, which would be a good part to shed weight due to its high location.
