Overweight or featherweight? EB weights- what does yours tip the scales at?

We've had some interest in how much different Broncos range in weight.

From stock, to lightweight crawler to sand buggies, to overweight beasts that should have 10,000# GVWR stickers on the side. lol

PICS only.
Guesses don't count!


If you don't have a pic of either your EB on the scale or scale weight paperwork then go take it before you post-thanks. :)

(See how many can follow directions lol)

I weigh in at under 5350#. Scale here shows my dog and 50# of dog food in the frt seat. :) Frt axle is 55% and rear is 45%. Used to be 53% & 47% which was good but when you add 6" to the frame between the Atlas & 14 bolt it skews your frt/rear bias. :(

I am usually pretty good about following directions, BUT you ask for pictures of weight slips from Broncos and you post a picture of a weight slip from a freaking Jeep. What's up with that?

Obviously the "dude" behind the counter doesn't know the difference.

Where's your Jeep weight slip?? :)

No weight slip, should've gotten a pic of my partner's scale reading, but I can tell you that it was a disappointingly fat 5200 lb. And that was before I added another 100# due to new tires and wheels. Hm. If I lose the NV4500 to a 4R70W I should lose at least 80 pounds. Might be worth it just for that.

looks amazing, I know what you started with. Burnouts probably are not as readily happening as they were with no sheet metal other than the tub and 31's. When I was test driving, it was so much fun blowing the tires off at will 🤩 Should have never said the tires were "just rollers" 😂 It was a neighborhood hit, kept getting stopped by the old men on the street to tell them about it and be asked to stripe the street in front of their house. Had great neighbors at my old house.

Time to revive this with my Timber sled track weight (since nobody else is posting EB weights!) :)

So it's that time of year for snow (snowing outside right now) and I am swapping/updating my Timber sled for the back of my KTM 450SX-F and I love to know the weight coming off and going on when changing or upgrading on my Bronco so I weighed the TimberSled at 125#.
When I get it hooked up to the 450 I'll weigh for a total.

Here was my result from August -
Had an opportunity to weight it my local feed store.
I have a BC Broncos soft top and about 150-200 pounds of tools/supplies and fuel onboard at the time.
