For my Droid to accurately figure my HP and torque, I need to know my Jeep's weight, so I went down to the dump and popped up on the scales. The scale fluctuated pretty wildly, but seemed to settle down to 4040 lbs. I looked on my door jam, and my GVW should be 4450 lbs. I'm trying to figure out if the scale is correct or not.
My stated GVW is 4450
My gas tank was empty, so subtract 100 lbs
Add one driver at 175 lbs
Add rocksliders at 50 lbs
Add front bumper at 30 lbs
Add 33s at 49lbs each, maybe an extra 100 lbs
So I'm guessing my Jeep should weigh about 4705 lbs.
Does anyone know how the GVW is calculated? Does it matter if you have a hard or soft top? Is that they weight of my Jeep, or all Wranglers for that model year? Does 4040 seem like a reasonable weight for my Jeep?
