Can anyone tell me about how much the body tubs weigh? I'll be driving down to georgia to pick one up, and the guy keeps telling me I'd better have a lot of people to help pick it up onto my trailer. I doubt it'll be too hard, considering I have ramps and a come-along.
one other small question, way off topic, probably wrong category, but anyways, when does the NEWBIE label go away? Is it after a certain amount of posts, or period of time??
The new status goes away after a certain number of posts (25 maybe?).
The body tub (depending on seats, dash, heater), will weigh between 400-500 lbs. We took the steel body off my CJ7 pretty easily with just a guy on each corner (4 of us). I could move the 'glass body by myself.

i loaded this up myself with a come along
Complete tub, seats, dash, roll bar everything. It was pretty easy.
Where are you going to pic this tub up? I am in CT and if it is not far from me I could give a hand
My father and I placed a bare YJ tub onto his chassis our selves, and the 2 of us also carried a CJ-5 tub ourselves.

georgia, I've got two friends coming along for the ride, we're gonna make a short road trip out of it. Plus, I've got a come along, I'm confident we'll have no trouble loading it.
4 of us lifted of a cj7 tub over the shifter handle and everything it was maybe 400lbs and we did the same with a cj5 tub it was a little lighter but not much.
