Weight of MIC Hardtop?

[mattrb87]

I was not able to find it. Has anyone seen what the weight of the MIC hardtop is going to be?

I’m assuming it will take two people to remove it because of the awkward shape/size alone. Thinking the glass is going to add the majority of the weight to it. Also assuming the front top panels do not stay connected for removal to the rest of it.

Thinking of ways to store the hardtop so it’s out of the way when it is removed and not just laying on the ground.

I'm not sure of the weight, but there is a very nice 3 point hoist out there. I checked it out when I bought my Jeep, but of course I can't remember who made the thing. Getting old sux, but it does beat the alternative. I do remember the price was reasonable if you're able to use something like that. Oh, and you're correct, it will take 2 people. Three would be better, because they are quite unwieldy.

4 door.
Front panels 13 and 14 lbs respectively
2nd row 27 lbs
Clamshell, about 80 (if I remember correctly, if not, someone will no doubt be speedily along to let me know)

Per rep at Bronco event I attended

Eta: 68 lbs for rear

Check Amazon. The Harken top hoist has changed from just Jeep to Jeep/Bronco hoist.

The roof segments (1st and 2nd row) you'll be able to pop out on your own, but the shell on the back will be a two-person lift for sure (or as others noted, getting a hoist-type device).

68 lbs of the 4dr rear top isn’t a “for sure” two person lift or hoist-a-top necessary. I bet some folks will find they can lift it themselves say onto a wall mounted rack. Just gotta find the best center-of-gravity lift points from underneath.

There is a video on Motortrend’s website where they literally take apart a good portion of the new Bronco.

How much more does sound deadening add to it?
