My last weigh was just over 4200 lbs. That includes me, a full tank of gas and 165 lbs of gear in the back (with no backseat).
I have some dairy farms south of me. Soon I should go by and see if I can run across their scales.

My local dump lets you roll on the scale and ask for a weight reading. Unless you want it printed out (and pay $10), they just tell you the weight over the intercom.
....from thumping so hard on my bottom!
Some people pay extra for that if you can believe it.
For the first time in a long time I spent several hours today exploring backroads in Va. Driving this Jeep makes all the work worth it. At 185k miles it drives like a dream!

Very nice! I keep coming back to this build for ideas.
We’ve got a similar ‘look’ going on at the moment.

Do you ever get grief for the bar covering your front plate?
Didn’t realise they did one for the Dana 30. Are you going to grind the ‘m’ off (IIRC you did that previously)?
Since the GrabarsUSA are no longer available, I swapped them out of the TJ and put them in the LJ. The TJ got a set of Chinese knockoffs. The quality looks okay, they turned out to be not what I was expecting. The welds are good and the bars are solid, but they're made of aluminum and flex more that I'd like. Plus, I had to enlarge the windshield mounting holes, because they were to small for the stock bolts. Since the TJ will eventually go to a new home, they'll do for now.
FWIW, the link below says they are steel, but they're aluminum. I kept them because all the steel ones I could find had countersunk drilled mounting holes.

All that glitters is not gold. Not even fool's gold.
It's almost as if all the copies with countersunk holes are copies of the first one that made countersunk holes. If you don't mind, please share the above pics and comments in that Grabar thread.
And wow, the TJ is (eventually) going to a new home after you put on all those parts on it?
I have the wild boar ones and I would almost bet the Jeep they are installed in that they are steel. They’ve been there for years though, and I’ve never felt the need to stick a magnet on them to verify. Mine don’t flex, at all, fwiw. I do agree with @Irun about fitment though. I seem to remember needing to move the holes on mine to make them fit correctly to the windshield.
Are you sure?
Swaybar in the street setting is stiffer than stock.
