Removed all of the "sound-deadening" tar paper sheets from under the carpet, under the rear seat, and under the spare tire.
Weight removed: 16.6. lbs
Removed all of the carpet padding and insulation betwen the carpet and floorpan.
Weight removed: 5.8 lbs
Holy crap, right? And it honestly doesn't sound any louder and there aren't any more noticeable rattles than before. If I never told you it was gone, you'd never know the difference.
Total weight lost from this project: 22.4 lbs
Next project, de-looming the car and removing unused wiring harnesses and connectors...
