cutting weight

[91 k1500]

where are people cutting weight to make there rigs lighter? i am gonna cut the bed floor out, cut the tires, shave any and all brackets off the truck i can find not in use, was just wondering what else guys are doing to lighten things up? bigger engine is not in the budget this year so i am looking for other methods to go faster in the mud lol.

this is a play bog truck so i dont have any rules to follow etc....

get rid of the glass, and heat. make a sheet metal visor. cut the inside of your doors out, use the outside handles. cut the top of the doors off also. ditch the wipers, radio, exhaust, mat off the floor, mirrors sun visors, spare tire...

that covers the body... what about axles etc? i already went disc breaks on the 14 bolt...... been thinking about pulling the hubs and turning them down in the lathe.... i removed the fuel tank and went to a fuel cell.... thinkin about ditching the core support and building a tube one....

anyone else?

[Hammerlane]

kick the ole' lady outta the truck.. that's at least 100 lbs.  

Fiberglass... panels, all you can replace. it's gonna cost ya though.
and I agree w/ Trent.. dont sacrifice strength for weight.

[michigan maniac]

What size tires you running? What gear ratio in axles?  Are you running any type of ladder bars?  Just like drag racing, getting good traction helps you go.faster!!

cut your tires you can shave alot of weight there and its less rotating mass
