Re: Weight Reduction
Just noticed the keyword "without" anything extreme in your op. Yeah. Either way, removing items doesn't save a ton. Spare, light wheels, ds. What? Maybe 80lbs?

Couldn't find the thread I was talking about earlier. It had a list of all the stock stuff vs aftermarket stuff and the weight savings.
Basic rundown was:
Wheels/tires
No cats/aftermarket exhaust (mufflers way a ton)
Remove axle weights
Remove front sway bar
Tubular radiator support
Remove spare (or tire mobility kit  )
Alum. driveshaft
Battery (don't remember exactly what it was but some aftermarket battery that is quite a bit lighter. Odyssey maybe?)
Suspension parts (not a big loss but it adds up)

So without going extreme I could probably shave off around 100lbs. Just trying to get a better horsepower to weight ratio. I haven't decided if I wanna do full bolt ons or go all the way with a TT Kit...

I usually take the spare tire and jack out and have about 1/4 of a tank of gas. Nothing else.
