Lightened Yaris

Thanks for adding the weights to items removed. Kinda curious as to the owners manual weighing 2 lbs. Seat belts (rear)? Had removed my spare at one time until I thought of flat away from home. Keep us posted.

It was probably something the dealer added, but it was a large vinyl case with all the warranty info etc. and will really do me more good at home in the file cabinet then in the glove box.

The spare bracket was spot welded into place in six places, I drilled out the welds and until I get some 3/16" pop rivets (the largest my gun will pull) I just shot some caulk in the holes, as I live down a 1 mile dusty dirt road. IF I ever put it back, I'll use stainless 3/16" rivets and it'll be almost as good as new. It bugged me the way it stuck up in the way, after the spare was removed, so it had to go!
