Wondering who has the lightest rig, what does it weigh and what do you have?

375 lb w/o driver.

mini baja car.

10hp

12in travel front 10in rear

locked in rear with custom "Stein-lock" (cable locker)

SV650S, 350 some odd lbs, I forget... ~65-70HP, I think like 3" travel front and rear I dunno.

for reference, a stock soft top Samurai is 2090 lbs.
Fatkid's Sammy with partial tubing, 33" cut Boggers (i think he still has those?) and Toy axles is 2340 lbs.

I was in Tellico recently and I saw a guy that had taken a CJ-5 frame, added Cherokee 2.8 V-6 motor and axles, had 1X1 square tubing "roll cage" , a plastic seat, and 35/12.50 bfgs
Total weight: 1300 lbs

Sonds like CHAT to me?

AAAHHH Pinochio :rolleyes:

I agree with Dean, sounds like chit to me :flipoff2:

C'mon, why would I lie to you guys. :flipoff2:
That's what he told me anyway. He turned over once and it turned back over a lot easier than a Samurai.

I call total bullsh#t on anything less than 2000lbs. with conventional axles, engine and drive train.

Hell, a full bodied Samurai weighs less than 2000 lbs, there went your theory on things.

I had a BII that i choped the body in half to where I could pick the body up MYSELF and hand it my self 150 lbs or so. and then bolted in a set and junk cage and still weight 2600 there ain't NO way 1300 lbs for all that stuff.... try 2300 if he's lucky

The guy may have been exaggerating a little, but seriously, it was nothing but two frame rails, about 20 lbs of tubing, and 1 seat. It had no dash, guages or even a floorboard.
He said he built it in about 2 weeks out of spare parts so that he had something to wheel while he was building a "real" rig.
