I can hoist the back up with one hand, and the front can be lifted, as well. I made a litter frame out of 1x3 wood strapping, and two people can carry it with that.

Thats a pretty impressive weight, when I built the roll cage (Tight for 4 people and a small cargo area) for my Jeep I used 4 20' sticks with about 10' of scraps left over. At 2# per foot that comes out to about 140-150 lbs, and that doesn't include any body panels that I plan on adding to it.
If I was building your project out of tube, I would use 1" .095 wall, approx 200' of it at 1# per foot, so about twice as heavy without even body panels.
