[wgnths]

removed spare/jack - can of fix a flat to the rescue! :)

just picked up this battery (15lbs)! suby guys seem to have good luck with it. they can be picked up locally at Batteries Plus.

Not sure what else to do at this point...wheels are light, i think i may remove the roof rails now too. anyone else?[/img]

I know a subie guy who has had one in his car for about 18 months. He hasn't had a single issue. Great way to lose weight!

How much are they? Did batteries plus have the screw in terminals to go with it?

[wgnths]

under $100 with terminals

I want to lose weight too... but I think I need to cut back on the soda, first.

[wgnths]

dark sodas are the worst for you...i stopped drinking all soda a year ago and it helped. unfortunately i started back up again and it helped....my gut grow.

[The B]

Same here... I was only drinking water for the longest, but now I'm back to soda again... and burgers. Sucks!

[yepee]

if you do drink soda's... stick with the clear ones!

[DangerViking]

silly me, I've been sticking with the diet ones :)

im working a little more towards a lighter wagon......just ordered this lightweight bumper beam. weighs 14lbs, which is just over 14lbs less than the stock one. with this and the battery, i loose at least 30lbs off the very front of the car :) not bad for $200 total.

I'd do it too, just giving you a hard time... but I need to loose body weight before I start changing things on my car.

[wgnths]

eh, car diets are easier :lol:

Weight is the enemy of all cars. Less weight is a homerun. You go faster, stop faster, and have less body roll (HUGE!).

[wgnths]

the mirror says i could use a little less body roll too lately :oops: where you been hiding?

[kev]

I've been hiding from mirrors too! I'm getting heavier!

I haven't been hiding, just recuperating from work. Very stressed out and the white hairs are multiplying :(

Need to retire in 19 years. Can't work much past 50 :(

[wgnths]
