Anybody know how much a soft top weighs? Trying to figure out storage and not sure if the J hooks I found are strong enough.

The main folding top piece is not, by my guess, more than 80 lbs, probably significantly less. But there's 8 other pieces to it: 3 windows, tailgate bar, 4 door surrounds (6 before 2 of them are permanently joined). Hanging it may need some tweaking before it's right because the frame elbows (2 on each side) want to go their own way.

I'm curious about this myself. If the weather holds maybe I'll unbolt mine tomorrow.
