With the top rack, legs and angle iron I’m at about 195 lbs now. And there is not much more steel to add. The pipe and angle both, weigh about 1.68lbs/ft
Ill add another 40 lbs I’m sure. Would have been nice to keep it lighter, but strength was more important than weight. I pull it with a 3/4 ton and don’t do rock climbing, or anything drastic where CG or weight is a big concern so, it’s not going to be a huge issue. Wind drag will be a bigger concern, and that isn’t even a big concern.
Plus, I can always remove it if I need to go hog wild with it.
I removed a 65 lb hitch, added a 15 lb hitch, so there is a 50lb savings. I also have some light rock crawler wheels instead of these 24 bolt wheels. That’s a 100 lb savings. Before you know it, I’m back at even! But the CG crawled up higher.
I dont plan on hauling it empty much, so, shouldn’t be an issue.
