Re: 85 CJ body tub weight
Hi Dale,
Nope, both the Jeeps I had the bodies off to paint weighed ninty or
less: http://www.----------.com/cj5apart.jpg and
http://www.----------.com/inthebeginng.jpg I'd just stand them on end
and lift them by their dashes and walk around. I can't believe they make
fiberglass tubs as heavy as advertised on the site provided you.
Although they say they reinforce them with quarter inch steel, kind of
defeats the purpose.
God Bless America, ßill O|||||||O

Re: 85 CJ body tub weight
I'd guess that my repop steel `79 tub is well shy of 400#, since I could
lift one end at a time without popping a gut. If forced to bet on it my
money would say 300#. Of course, the repop steel is thinner than the
OEM sheetmetal was.
