My wife and I are driving to go buy this KJ Big Joe Series 2 off Market Place for $500 Later tonight. What are the chances that we’ll actually be able to load this into the back of my truck without additional help?

Your best bet will be disassembling it.

Recently dealt with this. A Uhaul 5×9 utility trailer with ramp cost me about $30 and I was able to just roll the grill up the ramp with a couple of people helping push/pull. Only other thing youd need is straps, which you probably already have since you’re talking about using a truck.
I’d also give ahead and built my own “chariot” carrier that they sell the kit for, but ended up not really needing it. The trailer is the way to go if you can tow.

Unless your wife is ripped – slim. At a minimum, you’ll need to empty it. The shell though is still very heavy and more importantly – cumbersome. The Swiss store I bought mine from gave me a kit (postage return guaranteed) that I was able to move our BJ with the help of another guy. It was brilliant really. This is pretty much what it was [lifting straps](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LSw3hNFyvnM)
What a steal btw!!! Good luck!

I have an original model Big Joe. When I brought it home it took myself and two other men to get it off the truck. Even so, it was not easy to do, and we are all pretty stout guys. We really should have had a fourth man. Not only are they heavy, but they don’t have any really good handholds. And of course, the Series 2 is even heavier. Very definitely recommend taking the dome off, and strongly suggest using more people than just you & your wife.
