And the sheet metal on the new JKs is thinner than that.

with the tires you have jan, you best try to keep it light and use only 4.10 R&P's..... anything lower you'll prob break gears

Where ever u can save weight,I would..easyer to drag 4000lbs up over something than 6000lbs.So what is the price of a 4x8 sheet of 18ga?We sell a sheet of 0.040 alum for $75.00. I don't think that's there's a that much of a difference.But it's lighter  |

A 4x4 sheet of Aluminum at the same thickness would only weigh 10lbs Jan. So if you used 4 of those 4x4 sheets for skins, floors, hood, storage, etc you'd save 80lbs, that's like 20 PinPins  The lighter the better for turning and braking at speed. |

but times you want weight for traction. i see a big difference between fooling around in my tracker, and the jeep. the tj has more traction and less wheel spin because of the weight....
