With everything I have removed(a/c,heat,front bumper support,wiring,brackets,etc.) I would say about 300lbs.

joe: where in Carol Stream do you live? I moved from there about 3 years ago!

I would really like some insight on what to take out as far as wiring goes.. how did you determine it?? so far I've just taken out the wiring for things I've taken out, i.e, wiring to HVAC and the airbag stuff. but what about the rest? I'm keeping the stereo, just want to ditch all other unneeded wiring as long as the dash is out.

there are two relays wired in around the middle of the wiring harness around the radio area. any idea what they are for?

The 2 around the radio area are for blinkers and daytime running lights I believe but don't quote me on this.
