Extreme weight loss v2.o begins now

Took it to scales in Gorman, my limit is 4400 race ready

It was in full trim tody with spare and nearly full of fuel, weighs 4440lbs.

Gotta loose at least forty pounds looking for 60 to be safe

Oh and a big thumbs up to procomp for making a good tire, had 30lbs in fronts and still climbed decent, was very surprised going up the rock climb at gorman

Didnt know they were at 30 till we got back, thought they were between 15 and 20

And in the loose dirt they were great going up the dirt hills in gorman.
