Between 200-250, I believe. We were able to move it with two guys most of the time and thats with Cage long arm brackets, and front and rear dual shock mounts and a little frame reinforcement here and there.... It got heavier after galvanizing and paint to where it was pretty strenuous for 2...but could be done for short distances (10-20 yrds). HTH.

i think even 200 lbs is more than it is. all 150 lbs of me can pick one up and move it around- with a good amount of difficulty... with 2 people you're good to go.

It shouldn't be that heavy if Taz could lift his own frame........Well, at least the rear end of it....:eek:
I dared him and he tried.....;D

I'm sure it weighs more by a few lbs. than what he weighs.

Please do not try this at home. This stunt was performed by a professional.
The kid was not harmed in any way performing this stunt............:cool:

I moved mine around without a lot of problems - eventually put a couple of casters on a 2x4 and made a little rig to roll it around on

Mad, LMAO
Hey it looks like that car next to the frame may have been infected with Bronco rot.
