Re: 85 CJ body tub weight
Naw, the rollbar weighs only about 30 pounds. It is difficult to judge
just how heavy the tub is, since (unlike you) I wasn't lifting the whole
thing at once.

After looking around, it seems that most fiberglass tubs weigh in between
275 and 325 pounds. One site puts a steel tub at 300. I would have thought
fiberglass would be a LOT lighter.
