I asked NYTOP (https://www.tacoma4g.com/forum/threads/not-your-typical-rock-sliders-by-nytop.4849/) and they said 70# per side. I also recall seeing 160#/set for one of the other makes on their web site. There is also one outfit selling aluminum ones at 31# per side.
Sorry about the vagueness. When I saw how much they weighed I put them on the "only if I get serious about this" list and didn't pay much attention.

Yeah, I saw some at 74.lbs/ per side so I don't think your weight is bad at all for square steel.

Man... I need to learn to weld

Nice job, they look great, what kind of finish did you put on them (i.e paint, bed liner) ?

I used self etching primer and then 2 coats of Rustoleum truck bed liner.

Those look great, and better than some commercial ones I have seen. It takes some time to do pretty welds like the OP did. I can weld but it never looks like that!

I ordered RCI sliders and they are 74 pounds per side, so you beat them.

Got the oem sliders, 56 lbs each. Use them to jack up truck for tire rotations.
