not sure really, its heavy but not as heavy as it looks , id guess 100# or less maybe.

its coming off as soon as i get back out west, i picked it up for cheap cuz my stock bumper was bent on drivers side when i bought this xj and i needed one for safety check. im going front / rear tube bumpers this winter. I dont really dig this one all that much but it works for now.

Hardest part was getting the new injector #1 in. Was some rust and ended up ripping the new O ring despite putting jelly on it. Used an old on and there are no leaks

Replaced all 4 tie rod ends for the steering and replaced the track bar. The only hitch was that the steering stabilizer had its stud permanently fixed in the tie rod end in the old one and the new tie rod end requires the stud..which I don't have so I am without the stabilizer. It does drive better now with the new tie rods and track bar, but without the stabilizer it seems a bit squirrelly...

Finally got around to installing a relief valve on my compressor so I'll quit blowing up air hoses. (I only use it for inflating tires.)
