Topic: Replacing a frame on a 86 4Runner

Just wondering if anyone has ever replaced a frame on a 4runner? How heavy is the cab?

ive picked up a bed and a cab from a truck... sperately, but you could probably do it with a few friends.....

you must be ripped to pick up a toyota cab by yourself or bed for that matter.

I was going to do this but went a different route. The idea is to make it as light as possible. Remove the top, tailegate, doors & seats since these are the heaviest items that can be removed. I figured that it would take about 4-5 people to lift & move it.

you got the idea should not take more than 4 people if you take top and tailgate and doors off

I think taking the doors and top off will help shed off some weight.  Anyone have any idea's on how much the cab might weigh?
