You're in for a battle to shave off 600 pounds. As I recall, the front
bumper assembly is light enough that one person can throw it around
pretty easily. Rear bumper would be lighter (since it's smaller).
Losing the tailgate will get you another 75 pounds I'd guess (haven't
lifted one myself aside from opening/closing it - plenty of people
install/remove them singlehandedly). Lose the spare, run with 1/4 tank
of gas, there's lots of little things you can do but 600 pounds is a
<b>lot</b> to drop.
I know Bob Tom has done some pretty drastic weight saving attempts
(draining the washer fluid resevior), hopefully he's got some tricks up
his sleeve.
