How heavy is the shot box ?

[Waytec]

Good Day

I picked up a parts donor MJ for my MJ build. (once it starts I will post a build thread). Once the box swap is done I will have a in so, so rough shape, bush beat box left. I am going to building a trailer out of it. What I am interested in, is when I am done how heavy is it going to be. I will build a new frame and have a trailer axel under it. The box is a shot bed how heavy are they alone.

I am going to be building it on cool factor alone. but is going to be any heavier then a M101.

Thanks agene for the help

And no Dunl you cannot have the box to do the same thing.

i'd say about there. i've lifted it with another person, and its heavy, but it can be done

They are light. My wife and I have taken off and put on beds several times together. She is not a muscle woman either at 5'4" tall.

My brother and I have moved one around. I doubt very much that it weighs 495 pouns ... that would be 250 pounds for each of us, and I don't think I'm strong enough to think of 250 pounds as "not heavy."

 

BTW -- It's "short," not "shot." When I saw the thread title, I could NOT figure out what a shot box is and where it might be found on a Comanche.

I really think you should flatdeck the Eliminator.....then we could both have matching trailers. :D

You missed it twice. Although 'shot box' could almost be the Boston equivalent of 'short box.' :D

 

But, to stay somewhat on topic - I've removed a shortbox bed from my MJ by myself in a very peculiar manner, but I've never been able to install one by myself without the assistance of some ratchet straps and eye-hooks screwed in the ceiling rafters.
