Can I build a buggy under 1,000 lbs?

Thanks so far everybody! The vehicle can be weighed empty. No driver, no fuel.

Hey Scott! I used to live in the Bellingham area. Custer, actually. So I was wondering what vehicles would be best to use. Anyone have input regarding weight (light frame/engine/tranny/running gear etc), 4 wheel drive options (like 4low, locking diff etc)?

One of my favorite places is on the far side of a "critical habitat area" which has a restriction limiting recreational vehicles to 1,000 lbs. Any idea if that is remotely achievable? I'd like wide tires and some kind of fenders, but I'm willing to have it be stripped down to pretty much a frame and seats.
