    Jim,
    I think the tub on my CJ5 was less, in the neighborhood of 200 lb. I know it was easy to pick up one end, even the cowl end.
    Maybe the tub on your CJ6 is a little heavier...

    Probably right, I'm getting old so everything is bigger and heavier in my head :)

    Wife and I carried Pete around the yard. I flipped it by myself several times while sand blasting. Probably closer to 200#.

    My sister-in-law and me carried mine out of the garage and set it on the frame. More cumbersome than heavy. I call 3 buddies and get a case of frosties now.
