Looks like a project. Good to see you are getting the posting pictures thing figured out.

I bought the rear assembly from a 2010 crawler this spring (transmission, steering clutch housings, and final drives), and we estimated it to weigh somewhere around 2500 to 3000 pounds. That should give you an idea, although you had the trackframes in your pics which would add even more weight.
