Hi cdj,
A completely empty but complete body weights about 750 pounds.
Complete as you describe it probably weighs about 1300+- pounds.
People say it takes four pretty strong guys on each side to lift it high enough to roll the chassis out from under it.
There continues to be on going discussions about whether the beer should be consumed before or after the lift!
Regards,
Alan

Shame on Alan. He should know better. Beer should be consumed before, during, and after.
