got mine down to 3,940 before the awd conversion, now that was race weight but i had 2 full 10# bottles in the truck, but all heat shields, tailgate, spare, jump seat, power seats, air bags, inner fender wells, speakers, and thats all i can remember right now. but now the truck is at full weight nothing missing, a wise freind of mine once told me screw doing all that work for weight reduction, just make more power.

Fuel System is an A1000 pump and cell. Wiring I ditched was all EVAP, Factory Fuel System, Transmission Harness, Trailer Wiring, Rear 02's, MAF, and ABS Harness. And yes the truck is 2wd.
