I am thinking about putting in lightweight carpet in place of the stock carpet. I know the reg. carpet weighs about 40 lbs. How much is lightweight carpet, where do you find it, and how much weight savings are we talking here? (Getting a roll bar installed so I figure now is the best time if it is worth it.)

 

save the 300 dollars or so and just pull off the insulation off your carpet you have now. saves about 15 lbs and saves you money.

 

do a search, theres about a 4 page thread about 3 weeks ago on this

 

^^^Yep, there has actually been a few pretty good threads about light carpet this past year.

 

I think this is the one mentioned. I subscribed to this one awhile back and it seems like a good product. Figure for the price I'd go with it? Long time no see Andrew, where ya been man?

I've got the stuff from Year One. Fits good and weighs less than 14lbs.

 

Busy at work, think I only posted twice this summer...

 

i have 4 rolls of 48"x80" ozite and all together still in the plastic wrap weighs around 8lbs

 

Stock carpet weighs 38lbs, the backing weighs 18. Just rip it off and it will be 20 when all is said and done. Not worth the cost when you are only saving 5-10 lbs.
