Well I have weighed it. 44lbs is optomistic. The liner etc, doesn't weight more than maybe 2-3lbs.

This could work, but I really want the diagonal bars to go back further and tie in to the frame. I think it would also be difficult to find someone willing to add structure to the Elda bar integrating it to the a-pillars. But as Krazik recommended, I could pick up the Elda bar for the near-term and start all over when I have to cross that bridge.
