Nothing more that four 35" BFG's and a Warn winch (can't remember if I had
my hard top and doors). We actually weighed one day at a rock quarry.

Re: 6 cyl. YJ or 4 cyl. TJ?????????
 

This is pasted from the Wrangler page off of the Jeep website:
Base Curb Weight - Automatic Trans - 3268 lb

So I guess a "real" Jeep must weight about 1100 pounds?

And since weight is the only performance factor, I have found the ultimate
Jeep for anyone that thinks so silly:

It's even got dual batteries and it is painted like a "real" Jeep.
