they do call them a baby bottle....

 

Just ordered wheels/tires for the rear and a wideband for the truck. I guess its a good way to spend $1200. Should have tires Tuesday and wheels by the end of the week. Ill update pics as I get them.

 

Track times?

 

April 4th. I hope for NA and N2O passes but it maybe just NA.

 

Rolled some fenders today. It took about 4.5 hours or so to get it done. It doesn't look as good in pictures as it does in person.

 

I stopped by the scales last night and the truck weighed 3520 without me and with a spare tire laying in the bed. That is with the N2O stuff installed but not wired up. This truck is a fat pig. With me in it 3700lbs. I couldn't get a picture because of the lighting.

 

I dont get how some get a 3200lb truck and others claim 3700. I hope mine is 3200 w me but ive never confirmed

 

I'm with you man. The only thing I can think is I did no weight reduction. I removed the spare, jack and AC stuff and that's it. BUT added an iron 5.3, bigger drive shaft, 8.8 rear, added N2O, went to 17" wheels with 275's, dual 3" exhaust, and a few other small things. I could loose a few pounds to help too.

 

That weight is ridiculous! My 1st gen weighed 3232 on scales at the track so I'd assume they are accurate, but that's with Weld drag lights and me in the drivers seat. I've done no weight reduction and that's when it still had A/C.

 

1st is lighter. 2nd gens have a slightly beefier frame and a few more safety provisions that add weight. Wish i had a square body myself. Look better and lighter.

And they are becoming classics which have easier inspections.love your truck BTY...
