Default Weight Reductions???

I feel really stupid for asking this question, but i need all the weight reduction i can for this saturday. I've already removed most of the usual stuff...spare, jack, but i need some weight in the back so im looking for things that i can remove either in the cab or in the engine bay. I don't want to get to extreme either. You guys have any ideas?

if its a single cab, i'm not too sure what you could remove from the cab besides the passenger seat.

Another thought. If your drain your windshild washer fluid you can take afew pounds off the front...

other than that anything that is not needed you can pull. engin cover, fuse covers, lighter, ash tray, dash bezal, ect.. but you can only do so much to get our flying bricks down to the weight of say a flying toaster.

You could remove your front bumper and your hood. If anyone is reading this please tell us if it is a bad idea to take off your hood to race.
