Help with my weight Reduction
Well guys, today I went ahead and pulled out the panels and carpet. Getting ready my roll bar/kirkey install. I figured I would order some Ozite carpet too. I wanna come out lighter even after the roll bar is put in. I was just wondering, what things can I do to help reduce some weight while I have the car like this. I thought I could take out some wiring, but not sure which ones. I disconnected the factory amp and I guess I can just back track from there??? I'm also gonna take out the door bars and the passenger airbag. But I want to leave the drivers side one for the meantime. Can I pull the box out in the second picture without affecting that? Just looking for a little advice before I get to those things in the next few days.

that is the airbag module. If you remove or unplug any airbag part. The driver airbag wont work. Also, I have the stock radio so i dont know if this stands true, but I have to have the factory amp plugged in for the radio to work. I think with your aftermarket head unit you should be fine, but I would test it out first.

the amp harness running down the passenger side also carries the shock sensor wiring and antenna. the whole harness doesnt even weigh that much so IDK if its worth it for you to break it down.

are you going to add, 4 or 5 point belts? if so, there is no point in leaving drivers side airbag, you are going to be so tight to the seat that you will only see the puff of it 4 meters away
In any case, if you want to retain the stock looking wheel just leave it.. it does not weight THAT much...
