Default Bathroom scale maxes out

Is there a way to weigh my rig? Or does anyone know the approximate weight of a 1987 2.5L 4Cylinder XJ?

I have gone down to the local metal scrap yard. Drive in and ask the gentlemen in the booth if he would weigh your jeep. You could also bring some old scrap metal in the back and they will weigh you before and after. They will also give you a dollar for your scrap.

Or just go to a truck stop on the side of a free way, sweet talk the patrol men and they might do it for free.

ON your title is your rigs empty weight. I guess then you could use bathroom scale to weigh contents. As stated above.. most stone and concrete places have scales... a quick call and a promise of some grub ussually works. Lots of trucks stops have certified scales that cost 10 bucks to use.
