    One of the old jokes among backpackers to save weight was to drill holes in your toothbrush handle. 🤣🤣

    Take the roof rack off if all it carries is the Starlink antenna. You can mount that on the tent for example.<br>Also take the stock Rubicon sliders off and only keep the aftermarket ones.

    FINALLY, a major YouTube Overlander addressing the Taboo subject of weight! THANK YOU!!! &nbsp;Love it!!! &nbsp;Every ounce adds up.<br>- Lose almost anything minor you&apos;ve never used, or haven&apos;t used in at least a year, seriously.<br>- For heaven&apos;s sake, lose the factory rock sliders if the others will do at all.<br>- Replace the jack base with a chunk of 1x6 or 1x8<br>- Replace 12 ton bottle jack with 6 ton<br>- Remove the back seat<br>- Remove the seat deletes and put things in interlocking plastic tubs or <b>maybe</b> make skeleton shelves out of 2x2 framework for tubs to sit on<br>- Consider replacing the drawer with long plastic tubs<br>- Keep no more than 2 D-rings<br>- Test on a weekend running with only 1 house battery, see if it&apos;s enough power<br>- Carry a 3/8 impact wrench with 1/2&quot; adapter instead of the bigger and heavier 1/2&quot; impact wrench

    You don’t need to lose as much weight as you need to get it organized. I say this with a grin because I’m in a constant battle with it myself. lol<br>Great video

    I cut out the suitcase muffler and moved the rear resonator in its place to dump in front of the axle. &nbsp;That shaved some weight and gave me more clearance underneath when I wheel. &nbsp;The exhaust note is great and doesn’t resonate in the cab.
