lol, those pants are from the baggy pants are cool days (it's a 90's teen thing). That banana board is an original from 1983, I just may have to snap a shot with the shorts on the board.

post away...Don't those weight loss programs preach shedding the pounds in a group effort? lol
Creeper post a few pics of the trailer with the rig on it once it's ready.

LOL safety in numbers.
See how much the back end raises when you remove stuff. 4" FOR GenI lift that used to be a whole lot more level. And i haven't even removed the hitch yet and bobbed.
Not a build thread, just where I'm updating the local club:

Sweet!
I will def post some pics. I'm picking up the decking tomorrow and it will (hopefully) be finished this weekend. I think it's maiden voyage will be the McGrew Trail Run with the Jefferson State Cruisers.

It wasn't that big of a deal... my rotund ass almost fell 40 feet onto some rock... and Lenny happened to grab me. The jury is still out on whether he staged for AFV... I may have said something funny in the video which was ironic because I'm always so serious and never joke around.

You're probably a good several hundred pounds less than we with all the 2nd row window guts removed, additional roof cutout and all. Looks great. I shed about 5-8lbs just by removing misc bolts, brackets, and parts that were no longer in use. Ditching my rear bumper next (That weighs 150lbs+)
i love the 80 pick up look..... awesome

Not really an 80 any more, but may help for comparison purposes: My FZJ40 weighed in on the CAT scale at 5500 lbs with trail gear and driver. (hard top not included)
It could have been lighter by several hundred lbs, I used 2x3x3/16 tube instead of .120 wall DOM for the rockers and the rear flares are prototypes for the "rock flares" we sell so they were made from 1/4" rather than 1/8" like the production models. I also have dual batts and rear winch. Other than that it's about as light as I could have made it.
The 80 with it's heavy HVAC and doors, seats, etc is going to be hard to get under 5k in trail trim without some serious cutting.

I think I would be happy with 5k lbs... Just not sure if I can get it to that point. Maybe with an alum 350 V8... 
As requested:
That train shouldn't be to hard to spot rolling down the 5! Still leaving Thurs night?

Yep! I should be pulling out of Newberg around 6:30p.
