me and a buddy took mine off along time ago.it was stripped and we were both big boys used to delivering furniture.so it wasnt much of a problem.just trying to find good spots to grab on to was the worse.but when we set it back on about 10 yrs. later it was myself my 2 stepsons and one of their friends,i was shocked by how much weight that same bare cab had gained.

so it all comes down to how strong you are and the need to do it............dave
