I've had my Lightning 2 years 3900 mi. Lets start :
Brought home wiped enter under side down and clear coated every thing so it would look good in 20yrs.(stickers, everything)
Basani complete
Pro-M Mass air(just got my 90mm JDM)
Level 10 shift kiy
ele.fan 170 thermo,
.410,28x13.50x15 MT 28x7x15 MT sport.15x4.5 Bogart Frt.15x10 Bogarts Rear, Flip Cip(new program on the way) rear battery, rollpan,taken alot of weight out 4290lbs. no driver,Cervinni hood, theres more but I'm getting tired I'm old.

 

Think this was supposed to go in your 12 second run post if anyone was wondering =).

Sounds like a great truck !

 

Is your truck on the treadmill every night?.

Put my reply in a new post. 4290lb was taken at the CO-OP ,don't know how true the scales are but I've taken alot off.(many long nights and alot of beer you can get pretty creative It's called eye phucking) I have 24 7 365 days and nights to do this

 

How did you shave off so much weight? I've taken off the spare, hitch and jack so I've saved maybe 110 lbs. Replacing the bumper with a roll pan is probably 50 lbs(?), the Cervini hood probably weighs more than the stock aluminum hood. What else is there besides gutting the interior?

 

removed; Frt.sway bar
stock fan
wind sheild washer tank(heavy when full)
jack
dumbo size mirrors(street scene ele. nice mod)
Hitch
bumper(roll pan now)
Steel drive shaft
Spare
Fan scroud
The biggest gain came from my Bogart wheels, you can pick them up with your little finger,instead of the two men and boy on the stock wheels and tires.
I know theres more I'll have to check my store room to see what parts are there.
Wipers(rainX)
Chip Foose Lowering kit ? don't know if lighter or not.
Bassani complete ( lighter than cast iron)
If I can think of anythng else I'll E-mail ED.

 

you can:
fill washers fluid to 1/4 full
fill oil to 5.5 qts
pitch cig lighter
vacuum bedreg
stay on a regular bathroom regiment

 

This reminds me of the butcher who ran a country store.

A woman walked in and asked for a whole chicken.
The butcher pulls a bird out of the meat chest and puts it on the scale.
It's five pounds.
The lady thinks about it and says, "I need a larger bird."
The butcher looks in the chest and that was the only chicken he had in the store so, he puts the same bird back on the scale
(along with one of his fingers) now it reads nine pounds.

The lady says that will be fine.
As she's leaving she stops and says,

"You know, I have a lot of guests coming. You better sell me both of them."

 

I'm interested in knowing more about this. What did you use? How many coats?....

 

Brought truck home, before drove(you can do it later takes more time to clean and get rust off none painted parts) wiped everything down with preKleeno sprayed thermo plastic adhesion(Duramix#4540) on all plastic,R&M Diamont clear on everything take your time ,start at front or back and put enough coats on till each part your painting looks good then get away.Oh ya don't forget to mask off the entire truck over spray is a bitch. I would'nt attempt this with out a hoist. Real easy to clean.Hope this helped
