I once carried my 4 door hardtop on my back across the yard, not that bad but i would say at least a 100 pounds. But i think they are about the same considering the 2 door one as a longer back section and a almost no front because off the freedom panels and the 4 door as a small back section and a small front section.

I'd say a 50lb difference.. The hardtop isn't too heavy it's just distributed unevenly.

The soft top weighs under 20lbs total. The 4-door hardtop is just over 150. That makes the difference around 100lbs. I can't speak to the 2-door.

my understanding.

2 door hardtop weighs 84 lbs (back half not with front panels)
4 door hardtop weighs 96 lbs (back half, not with front panels)
