Default Anyone weigh their rig lately after mods?

Hello

I had a chance to put my jeep on a truck scale today and I'm pretty sure the scale was off

2012 2 door six speed hard top

3" bds lift, 33" Duratrac's with very heavy bumpers

1/2 tank of gas

Scale said 5,000 pounds exactly

Yep. 2007 JKU Sahara Softtop Manual. Mods:

TF 4"
6 TF arms, 2 remain stock
Front PR44 Unlimited with RCVs, ARB, Reids, TF monster track bar, and Currie tie rod/ends
Factory rear D44 with Chromolly axles ARB and Dynatrac Cover
Front and rear Rugged Ridge bumpers (no front end caps, just stubby)
Warn Cti 9500 winch
ARB dual compressor with Viar 2 gallon tank
EVO sliders (weld on)
ATX Slabs 17" with 37" Nitto Mud Grapplers (pigs at 90lbs each)
48" HiLift with base and wheel lift bracket
All factory skids, seats, carpet, sub woofer, exaust, only 1 battery, etc
Tuffy under seat box and Uniden 510 CB
1 extinguisher
3 straps (tree, snatch, tow), 2 clevises, a few air hoses and gauges/air down adapter, Smittybuilt tailgate bag system
1 child car seat (no kid with me on the scale) and me in the seat (I'm 250lbs)

I think that's it. I'm sure I'm missing something though. It weighed in right at 5500lbs. Pig for sure, but does fine with flashpaq and 5.13s. I think I read somewhere the JKUs weigh 4200lbs stock.

It was a little bit of a joke, homeboy. If you've ever dealt with the front swaybar on a rubi, you'd know just how heavy they are
