Mini tubbing won't save 49 pounds with a typical 36" , 16" wide frame to fender mini tub job.
I cut out 49 pounds, but you'll put weight back in the car depending on the metal you use to box the frame and if the tubs are steel or aluminum.
A more accurate estimate with a typical mini tub would be right about 35 pounds weight savings.
This figure is from adding back the pieces to box in the frame on both sides out of 1/8th" trimmed pieces and the cut sheet metal tubs ready to go back in.
I made a post before and listed the weight savings for a 16" mini tub, 17" mini tub and what I cut out doing a full tub but for some reason all of the info is not posted there anymore

The TRZ Panhard Rod/ ARB kit weighs 6-7 pounds lighter than the stock stuff that it replaces. It replaces the factory rear sway bar, panhard rod and the panhard rod support brace. It is definitely a wallet mod, but it is the lightest option for these parts on the market

Gasoline is 6lbs a gallon.
Winshield washer fluid is 6-8lbs, not 10lbs.
ABS module is not 18lbs. More like 10-12.
Aerospace & Strange drag brakes save 50lbs off the front and 25lbs off the back.
The coating under the carpet is 15lbs.
Front QA1 drag shocks save 15lbs not 5lbs.
The MAF is not 5lbs. More like 1lb.
75lbs for a 8 point chrome moly roll bar. 65lbs for a 6 point.
My Mezeire electric drag pump is lighter than the stock one.
You have overflow tank in there twice.
But other than that, it looks good.

I believe so, yes. I need to know how to remove this and/or cap off any lines not needed. Also, do you have to drop the K-Member to take out the AC box(?) located on the left side of the motor in front of the firewall? I was told you do. Anyone have a link or directions on how to do either send to me so I can get crackin!

Hello All! Please reserve your posts for facts/figures of weights only! We are happy that you got your car down to whatever weight/crack jokes, etc. but that is how the other thread got out of control with so many "comments". Thank you!
