Default How to reduce weight??

What else can I take off/out of my ECSb to make it weigh less?

I have had the rear set, spare tire, tailgate out and it still weighed 4970 the last time I ran.

How hard is it to take the bumper off?

would weigh about 4820ish without me.

Go with about 1/4 tank of gas and the bumper is just a few bolts (4 maybe).
