A lot. It’s sitting on AEV’s “blue” Heavy Duty 3” springs. But it’s mostly dog, ice, beer and fish

Mine is weigh too much!I finally got a chance to weigh my Gladiator Rubicon and it is heavy ! The weight with me in it was 5,780 pounds. I knew that as equipped with various modifications/accessories it would be pretty heavy but wow! All of that stuff adds up. I was in it so subtract 300 pounds, so 5570 with 1/4 tank of fuel. Any idea of empty weight of stock loaded Rubicon? See attached picture for reference.

Holy moly, you're nearly 1,000lbs over the GVWR of a Rubicon. There's quite a few people who have bent their rear frames when offroading overweight, might want to check out getting a frame reinforcement.7100 lbs. upgraded suspension and brakes.

What suspension do you have? Particularly the rear coil brand, size, rating, etc? I have a similar rig and weight. The Clayton 2.5 overland lift with HD springs is not doing job in the rear, I have a significant squat.7100 lbs. upgraded suspension and brakes.

What gearing are you running with those 37's?I was just curious what everyone else was seeing. These Jeep/Trucks are well made and that's why they are heavy. I was curious about the weight added by modifications and accessories. Also because and there is an overland trip in the future in Tn,Ga and NC. I am actually a fan of the 3.6 engine with the only complaint being the rpm range that the torque is produced. I am on 37's and my combined mpg is 19.4 !
