4000lbs is close.. Depends on your sliders, winch, cage, bumpers, seats, tires, skid plate, ect..
mine is around 4300lbs
mine is around 4300lbs

New stock would have been about 4,000lbs soft top, and 4,400lbs hard top. Your V8 is about 250lbs lighter than the old engine, but you may have added more than that difference with other mods?

well i know it weighs around 4500 roughly. what i rally need to know is what it weighs from the doors forward.
either have it weighed or start guessing, your guess is going to be better than anyone on here..

its actually the fj45 in the avatar but the front of it is all the same as a 40 so i figured it would be easier to say 40
