What does your Jeep Wrangler TJ weigh?

I'll give an update with the final weight once I finish the missing items.

2) How long have you owned your Jeep?

10 years.

3) What is your tire size?

37".

4-5 gallons of gas, no driver, otherwise loaded with everything that will normally be carried:

Front left (driver): 787.5 lbs
Front right (passenger): 787.5 lbs
Rear left: 612.5 lbs
Rear right: 568.75 lbs (I'm not sure why this is different)
Total: 2,756lbs sprung weight.

Shipping weight on the axles was 860 lbs (includes 2 pallets, but I've added brackets), 31lbs per rim, and 73lbs per tire. So I think it's safe to say curb weight is around 3616lbs. I'll have to verify some day at a scale.

I stand corrected. I placed my Jeep on a scale today and it read out 4860lbs with all of my tools, 10 gallons of gas, and no driver.

Wow! Exactly the same weight as my Jeep above. Makes sense, similar build, but exactly??? What are the chances it would be down to the pound!
 
Mine has 1-ton axles, 40" tires with spare, 4.0, Atlas 2-speed, Warn9.5Ti, full armor corner to corner and bottom, soft top, dual triangulated rear, stretched long arms, full cage, tools, high-lift jack in rear, and driver.
Front = 2520 lbs
Rear = 2920 lbs
Total = 5440 lbs

Thanks for sharing. I'll add this as an example here. Comment there if I should add anything to the list.
 
I've owned my 2000 for 1 year, weighed in at 3,700 with 1/2 tank of gas and no driver, 31 x 10.50 tires. Haven't really added any extra weight except a Hotheads headliner, a sub woofer, ARB single and a bag of tools.

1) 3760lbs empty. No back seat. 1/4 tank of fuel.
2) Got it 6/21
3) 33-12.5-15
4) 3" lift, stock bumpers, winch plate, 8k Warn with rope, rocker protection, UCF no body lift skid, Savvy tank skid and cable shifter, Spidertrax 1.25 wheel spacers, SYE w/ CV drive shaft, Detroit and 30 spline shafts in the rear, and an ARB twin compressor.

Never made a conscious effort to keep weight down on things I build. But starting from stock its easy to keep the weight down if you try :D
