I can tell you my 72 4x4 with a single wall top, a 6.0 LS swap with a 4L60E, 33" tires on aluminum wheels, air conditioning, factory style roll bar, and a full 20 gallon tank of gas scaled exactly 4,760 lbs. without me in it. That's with the spare tire and jack equipment in place.

They aren't featherweights by any means, and I removed some weight with the LS swap.

Great! Thanks.

Yikes, lol. That's a heavy bugger. My '70 4x4 with the big block and double wall top weighed in over 5000 lbs when I had it on the grain scale a few years ago. Hoping to get my 2wd with LS and full aftermarket suspension down under 3500.

Yeah it's definately not light, and I took 120 lbs. out of it with the LS swap, but I didn't weigh the transmissions, and I'm sure the 4L60 is slightly heavier than the 350 turbo so that may have countered it a bit.

The front diff/driveshaft and cast iron 205 case adds some weight over a 2WD model, but getting it under 3500 will be a chore. I'd like to hear how that goes for you, please keep us updated.

My 82 Jeep Scrambler which isn't much sheetmetal even though it's longer than a regular CJ, full soft top, half doors with soft side windows, bucket front seats and a rear seat added, no carpet in the back (just bedlined), aluminum wheels with 32" tires, a 350 LT1 swap with a 4L60E, and even that scaled exactly 3500 lbs. without a driver. And that's really not alot of vehicle, pretty bare bones really with just a heater.
