[QUOTE=SpoolMan]Ivan remove the hardcover and it may get you there, 50kg easy in the hard cover..
My hardcover is actually very light, I've had it off a few times, I would say about 10kg, the tailgate I havnt tried, and i believe that may carry quite a bit of weight. Will take the weight off once my personal goal is reached (10.5x).

What oil are you using in your BTR?
Also how firm do you have the shift set for street use? Do you use a external tranny cooler? Cheers Matt |

Not sure on the oil, whatever Bayswater transmission use, pressures on the 4 speed is pretty much at its limit, the changes are very firm and quick, its like that for street and strip.
I have an external cooler setup in front of my foglight, its been there for 4.5 yrs. Heres a vid of my 10.63 run. http://youtu.be/ZxO3FypP400

Wow.. some impressive weight savings there for utes.. Interesting!
Spooly, when you emptied out your yellow F6 did you weigh all the stuff you took out?

light weight wheels, exhaust and front seat are the big weight losers, the after market stereo I wasn't going to remove (only the sub). Rod could have went further eg: door motors, aftermarket stereo, door trims etc, but it has to go back together. Remove the weight from the axles its worth double, the OP's Ute was on steel rims so weight wise this is worse than the factory alloys and he can improve on this time if he can loan a set of drag lites..

I thought it was the other way around. My factory steel rims are lighter then my factory alloy rims. Talking 16 inch rims the alloys are also wider then the steel rims.
Must be different weight factory alloy and steel rims due to size etc. You could also look at removing the handbrake drums or what ever they are called. |

Getting it to 1500kg is pretty good going. You dont need much power if youve dropped 300 +kg.

Yeh and power starts costing alot more than you anticipated..lol, and ends up being like a piece of string, how far do you want to go? When are you going to be happy enough with the power you have?

I swapped over calipers with the guy I bought the rims off, saved me a few hrs grinding and trying the wheel on.
