Default Z on a diet
The Z needs to lose a few pounds. I have already taken out the Jack, spare, and sold the subs. I need the AC because I live in TEXAS.

I am going to switch the exhaust from going out the back to True duals. So if any body wants to swap exhaust let me know.

Any ideas guys?

I put an aftermarket hood on which weighed 18 lbs less and the UMI k-member w/ control arms and that was another 28 lbs.
