[urq] Interesting paper on the 4ksq

[Ingo Rautenberg]

Not surprising.  The later bumpers and improved sound-deadening would  
easily account for those 79 lbs.  I still miss my '85 sometimes --  
and very much preferred the rotary diff lock switch (vs. pull knob)  
and interior of the '85+ models to the '84 (prone to cracking, hard  
plastic) dash material.
