    Anyone give me a rough idea of the weight of a 100% bare frame for a '78 CJ5 ?

    Thanks.

    An ECJ5 bare frame weighs in around 150. Maybe a little less. I can lift the one I have, but it's a bit of a grunt. Could be closer to 125 lbs.

    Thanks.

    That's great as even knowing a person can JUST lift gives me the answer I need.
    CJ5's are rare over here in the UK but acute lack of space means I have recently tried to sell my project (for £300) on eBay without any takers.
    I've got a mint 1952 Minerva (exactly the same as this except no logo on front fender) -

    comming out of long term storage in a few weeks so need to create somewhere to keep it at home.
    The answer seems to be dismantle the CJ5 (it's already just a rolling frame with body just placed) and put it away in the back of a rented garage until I have time, energy, money and motivation to decide what to do next.
