blazer/jimmy weight

I need to know how much a stock 4x4 bla/jim weighs. Anyone's rig would be helpful, just list the extra/heavier stuff you've put on it. This is my first post, but I've been a reader since the "orange" days.

Re: blazer/jimmy weight

As an aside note. I weighed my 72 2wd Jimmy on a certified scale before the teardown. It came in at 4135lb with top on. That was with air, 350/T400.
Can a dana44 and a transfer case really weigh 1000lbs? whew...
