    Bare RRC body - could 4 people lift it?

    I'm down to pulling the motor and box out of a '90 RRC I've been wrecking and the body is completely stripped.

    If I unbolted the body would 4 people be enough to lift it off and move it onto the drive?

    That way I can just pull the motor/box/tc out in one piece and very easily.

    Any info grately appreciated.

    Only one way to find out...

    Seriously though, I would think it would be a tall order. I helped a mate move the tub off his hilux recently when he put a custom box on the back off it, and the two of us barely got that off, and I would imagine the RRC body would be 4 or 5 times heavier....

    I am happy to stand corrected though...

    you just need more people...

    and it would be lighter without any glass although I have nfi how heavy it would be

    although lifting it clear of the engine would be a 'tall' order.
