How much does my completely stock, 2003 TJ weigh?

Just go to a truck stop that has a scale. It’s that easy. They will print you a receipt with your TJ’s weight.

My '03 Rubi weighed 3700 on truck scale, 6 cyl, manual, winch, soft-top, 33 x 12.5 x 15s, steelies, no spare, curb weight. I've heard Rubis weigh 300 lb more than Sports? Factory brochure says 3418, factory likely shows dry weight.

Sometimes those stickers are inside the tub just below the driver’s door. Maybe even somewhere else like inside the glovebox door or something.
I weighed my previous TJ with aluminum wheels, RE long-arm suspension, basic armor including steel corner guards in the rear, steel rocker guards, and aftermarket steel bumpers and it was an even 4100 lbs. on a truck scale. I don't recall if it had a hard top on that day but probably not.
Hard to think of where the 300 pound difference would be. The 241 and the front Dana 44 center section plus the locker pumps probably amount to a third of that. I could see maybe a hard top Rubicon vs a soft top sport.

I realize it's been nearly two years since the last post in this thread, but I just recently weighed my '03 TJ Rubi, so I thought I would add a data point just for fun...
3750 lbs with soft top, including half-doors with soft uppers, spare tire, but no back seat. My only added armor is a Savvy gas tank skid which is a negligible increase over factory weight. My only other "added" weight would be the LT285/75/16 GY MTRks vs the original 245s

5000 lb at loves scale with gear- full tank 1 full Jerry can and engine-t/t skids (yikes)
how much does that rooftop rig weigh on it's own? The idea of having one intrigues me but I'm not wild about getting any more tippy than I already am.
Probably 300 with the rack and tent-you don’t even notice it with the swayloc,getting ready to put the rack and tent on to go to Colorado
I weighed my '98 Sahara back in 2019, completely stock and with both the hardtop and softop (and the softop windows in the cab), with a full tank of fuel and my tool bag in the back. 3383.65 lbs.
is this a thing at just any random Loves location? I might pull into one in the next week and roll across the scale.
last weight I got was on my way into the metal scrap yard with the back seat area full of heavy steel parts that had no resale value.
Yes if you go to a loves truck stop,if the scale is empty just pull on it and get out and there is a speaker there and just press the button and she’ll tell you to pull around and she will charge you 10 bucks and give you a slip with your weight.
