How to reduce my gx460 weight
Has anyone got any ideas on how How to reduce my gx460 weight.
As it's really heavily rock solid, even after installing gibson single exhaust stainless and aFe cold air intake I'm still feeling the heaviness of the vehicle.
Are there any way for me to reduce the weight to make it leighter.
Please share your thoughts.
Cheers

Buy a 4-Runner ... or an FJ Cruiser. Accessories plus sound deadening has the GX460 400+ pounds over the 4-Runner ... and 800+ pounds over the FJ Cruiser. So start stripping out what you paid a premium for when buying a GX460 over other (equivalent) Toyota alternatives. So what is your definition of "heaviness" ? What does Exhaust and Intake have to do with any meaningful amount of weight ? Are you really wanting to improve throttle response ?

You can take the 3rd row off. They are about 150 lbs total.
Lighter tire and wheel combo with reduce unsprung weight.
There are few companies that have a custom tune.
For better throttle response, look into Beat Sonic Shiftpower or Pedal Commander.

I had an FJ for a year as a company car, frig that was a loud and not so comfortable ride. They come with an awful and loud muffler that just makes every mile seem like punishment. That thing must be really light as they apparently only put 6 ounces of sound deadening in it.

This post must be a bad joke. My answer ... move to the Moon where the GX460 would weigh 863 pounds ... or to Uranus where the GX460 would weigh 4,623 pounds if that is your better target weight.

Found a nice article that follows this thread. Has a list of equipment vendors to help.
The 4000 lbs. goal is going to be challenging considering a GX weighs 5100 lbs. stock.
