How much of the JAG's weight is engine/accessories?

I'd be willing to bet that its a fair amount, and given that the 1st gen Ford explorer was questionably safe to operate in daily life, and is seriously under powered (relative to similar cars) with it's 6 cylinder, and weighs some 4k lbs, the JAG with a 1.9 turbo diesel would be finely capable.
