I didn't realize that the newer Gen IIs weighed that much myself.

I know when I ran my Dak with the bush bar, the mopar "molded"
running boards and about 1/2 tank of gas, the Dak came in at
3,850 lb (sans driver) at the track. I finally removed the bar and
the boards. That removed a total of 85 lbs. My guess is that
the other wee things (no spare, less fluid, etc.) that I did to lose
more weight added up to less than a further 50 lbs. at the most.

I did move the battery to the back. Shifting weight to the back
did help with traction, as did the adjustable, rear Rancho
shocks and diy leaf clamps.
