Default Went on a Diet!

Lost about 120lbs today! Took off the rear bumper, which weighed about 60lbs. Took out bed liner, which weighed about 35lbs. Took off sway bar, which weighed about 25lbs. Can't wait to take out the seats, and replace with a racing seat, and put on the Bogart's. Looking to loose about 170lbs+ with those two items! That would be close to 300lbs total!! Not too shabby!

How's taking out the sway bar gonna effect your handling? is this a track truck or street truck?

I don't care how it handles!! I just go straight! Taking off the sway bar allows for better weight transfer.
