Default How much does the Freedom Top weigh?

I have a 4 door Sahara. Does anyone know how much the Freedom Top weighs? I would like to know the weight of the rear section and the panels independent of one another. I tried searching the forum, but the search returned zero results. Thanks in advance for your help.

according to the manufacture Meridian Automotive Systems:

"The driver and front passenger roof sections have a mass of approximately 15 lb (7 kg) each, while the rear panel with glass, hardware, and wiring has a mass of approximately 80 lb (36 kg) on the two door, and 95 lb (43 kg) on the four-door"

Thank you very much. I was afraid it would be like 200 lbs and wasn't sure how my wife and I would get the hard top off.

I have to get a neighbor to help me take mine off. Its too heavy for my wife to lift off. She could probably help me carry it, though.

I do it myself at 6'5" i just crawl in the back and stand up with it on my back this year was actually really funny cause after i lifted it i had to get down from the 6 inch lift on 37 in tires yet to break anything ( me or the jeep) but looking into making one of those lifting kits to hang it in my shed

You are braver than I!!! I would be too afraid of making a $2,500+ dollar mistake and f**king up the Jeep paint in the process...
