Got my truck weighed yesterday, actually pretty surprised, 3880lbs. I was expecting 4200-4300

05 RCSB manual windows and locks, removed all unecessary crossmembers, sway bar, spare, rear bumper, unecessary wiring, stock fuel system, EVAP System, stock seating, entire HVAC system.

Well guys figured it was time for an update. Had the truck at the track a few time this summer, but the 10 bolt decided to be the downfall. Just couldn't get the truck down the track. Fastest pass we made (leaving in 2nd gear just to get the thing down the track without spinning) was an 11.94 at 124. Which tells me there's a hell of a lot more in this little truck if I can get it to 60ft lol. This winter's project if going to be getting the Holley installed and getting this 9" finished up. I have all the parts I just need time which is hard to come by right now. So far with the Holley I've only gotten the engine harness installed along with the dash and ECM. I still need to get the main power and other inputs wired up along with the push button ignition. Also converting to a drive by cable setup so that's gonna take some time since my cold piping doesn't line up right. I'll try to update as much as possible! I need to get this thing finished!

Pretty simple so far, I had the engine harness installed in about 30 minutes. I just need to run the main power wire and figure out the inputs and ignition switch, those will be a little more difficult.
