That I think is a really high estimate, if you take off the weight of the front clip, engine, trans, transfer case, differentials, glass, top, frame, interior, wheel houses, dash, etc, and a stock vehicle weight of 3500 lbs there isn't 1000 lbs left for the body, it's got to be less than that. At least I hope it's less than that, the trailer is only rated to 1100 lbs, that would be a little too close for my liking. Math suggests it's around 500 give or take, but I don't know for sure. Other than maybe a screw here and there that I've yet to get out, it's completely stripped and currently has no rockers either. It is too heavy for me to lift off the jack stands though, front or rear.
