    Three of us loaded my 3B tub on the trailer. I unloaded it all by myself....O.K. I used my log loader to unload it....
    Are you replacing the tub on your 3B or is this a new project?

    Somehow as soon as I read this, I knew that picture would surface. It was the exact one pictured in my mind. =)

    OMG I'll make sure I sneak mine in under cover of darkness so I don't end up as a picture on the net.

    Replacement for my rust bucket tub.

    i was able to get mine back on the frame pretty easily. I did it by myself, and all it takes is a but of grunt, and a leaver. It weights about 250-300 lbs, because I max out on dead lift at 370 lbs...I had a little bit of trouble, but I could rep it no sweat.

    We put a 2a body in an 8ft pickup bed and got the tailgate closed. It tucked in nicely behind the toolbox. Two guys can move/flip one but three works really well.
