apart from the obvious (seats) i don't know how much there is to strip. As it is the Vitara is a fairly light car with little unneccessary add ons

If you dont need it, bugger it off. Unless its needed for roadworthy mirrors etc.

convert it to two wheel drive.. remove transfer case :|
remove one of the rubber bands off the engine.. as said they are light enough.. if you want more power then put a bigger donk in it
2" Susp lift, Ext shackles, RTC damper; Offsets, Custom interior panels, Stereo (+Sub), rubber Checkerplate floor, Custom Centre console, Under bonnet storage
Soon: Aircon + tinting?

Why do you want to make it lighter? And would a couple of kilo's either way make a difference?
