Diet plans? How much weight are you guys taking off with the roof?

[TheGr8Doughboy]

With all of these 60's getting the tops cut out I was wondering how much weight is coming off of them. I'm thinking about keeping my truck if I can cut some serious weight off.

I know this is a little skewed cause a lot of you are putting cages back in them... but I know Al your truck looks real tall in the back...

Thoughts? Weights? and definately pictures please

Roll Cages do not weigh all that much.. I think our Redline Full FJ60 cage with Frame tie in and Gussets only weighs 175lbs..

im not sure how much a chopped off roof would weigh but i bet it would be more than the tube..

if you want a light rig, Sell your 60 and buy a minitruck

the glass and rear hatch are more than the roof but with the bob and all the door glass I lost about a 1k lb WAY more stable off road

that's good to know... thanks. I would have guessed the cage weighed more than that.

And if someone would have bought my truck I'd buy a mini truck

Yeah, I knew you secretly wanted to keep it. Don't start chopping until I get back down to Bburg. i have to be a part of this.

The chopping needs to start soon. That way he cant second guess and change his mind

Loosing all that glass, plus the roof, hatch and 20 inches of bed dropped weight way down.

Still too heavy for me to get where I wanted to though. Building a 45 buggy from scratch sans bed and a lot of other parts...

Do you have an idea of the curb weight? you or klingon? I need to be able to get it down to "comfortable towing weight" cause I obviously can't keep it together long enough to drive it to and from the trail...
