I had my '87 4kcsq on a digital scale a little while back. With all factory 
equipment, floormats and spare installed, no occupants, and 17 (of 18) 
gallons of gas it weighs 2810 lbs.

The Haynes manual claims the wife's '86 4ks weighs 2100 lbs. I haven't had 
it on a scale, but that seems mighty light.
