Default did bunch more weight stuff prepin for tomorrow

spoiler is gone
power antenna
t-top holders
rear hatch hydraulics
door bars cut out
all the speakers
the monsoon amp
the radio
i may pull the console tomorrow for the hell of it, whats it weigh about 7-8lbs
i was 3250 and that has to be a good 50-60lbs right?
so i figure im around 3190 or so with stock ta leather seat, stock heavy hood, stock brakes, metrics up front,and tons more to do.
im supprised its so light.

The monsoon doesn't weigh much. I would say the amp weighs 2 lbs at most. I have seen 5 listed but I seriously doubt it weighs that much. If you pull all the wiring for the speakers from the dash back that may be 3-5 lbs. The speakers probably do weigh 15 lbs altogether...

Good luck tonight Rodney! The DA was -800 at 11:30am. Should be pretty good tonight unless a South wind blows in. Maybe one of the locals will read this thread and loan you a racing seat

Just weighed my console (its laying on the floor) and with no top its 7lbs, top is probably 1lb. If you are racing theft recovery leave that stuff out
