Did you happen to weigh any of that as it came out?
Also, what's your current weight?

If you want to go even farther, gut the firewall and build an aluminum one. Have you had your truck on any scales yet? I'd be interested to see what it is at each corner. If not find someone around you that races and see if they'd scale it for you.

Firewall is a bad ideal unless you have a promod level cage.
If I make it to that dyno event I'll show you what you can and cant cut on the fenders. Same on the bed. I would recommend you cut the bed down to nothing more than the outer skins and a aluminum floor/tubs.

ditching the 3 factory seats and sliders going to non reclining corbeaus lost me ~90 lbs (used some aluminum angle iron brackets bolted to the factory mounts on the floor and to the seats, took a little bit to get them aligned perfectly)
The seats are for sale too....

I took 7.2 lbs of wiring out of my engine bay today! All of it was leftover from the previous owner's snowplow setup.

Baja's or...? And I assume the factory seats are the ones for sale, right-
Factory center seat/console from the 40/20/40 split bench weighs in at 32# with bracketry.

Alot less. But then it gets into a legal thing.
Removing the wheel and therefor the airbag would prevent the sale of it as a street vehicle. (technically).
That column weighs a ton

Would be a significant weight reduction, but illegal for a street truck. (reference Racinduallie's thread i mentioned earlier, he weighed the removed assembly)
I'm liking these: http://www.corbeau.com/products/fixe...s/gta_lo_back/

It's illegal on the federal level to remove an airbag safety system from a vehicle that is factory equipped-right?

Negative, you can remove it or disable it. It is illegal if you sell the vehicle with a non functioning restraint system. Or if you have an airbag light on and attempt to hide it from the buyer.
This is from and SRS certification class I attended last fall. Actually I think you can sell it with them gone provided the buyer is informed. (written form and signed by them for legal reasons)

In other works, if you aint a dealer, hack away.
However:
Quote:
NC law.
§ 20‑136.2. Air bag installation.
It shall be unlawful for any person, firm, or corporation to knowingly install or reinstall any object in lieu of an air bag, other than an air bag that was designed in accordance with federal safety regulations for the make, model, and year of vehicle, as part of a vehicle inflation restraint system. Any person, firm, or corporation violating this section shall be guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor. (2003‑258, s. 3.)
|
Although it does not say that they cannot be made inoperable. Its aimed preventing you from installing a dummy bag.
The issue comes with your ins company. May want to give them a call and see what they say.
