And it begins, Kate is going on a diet.

How much weight can Kate loose and still keep her tub?

We shall see........

Stay tuned.....many pictures this week....

wngrog · 05-27-2003, 04:27 PM

Donald, you still need a heater?

Box Rocket · 05-27-2003, 04:27 PM

I'm anxious to see the results

calfj60 · 05-27-2003, 04:34 PM

You don't need no stickin heater, the last two trucks I have driven had no heater. They are just plain overrated anyway. Start cutting thats what I did to my pig:-) If you don't need it cut it off:-)

Jason M · 05-27-2003, 04:34 PM

If you cut off more than 200lbs I'll be impressed..

Personally I think me going on a diet is the best way for my cruiser to loose weight

TRD · 05-27-2003, 04:40 PM

i can see wngrog is getting ready to break out the bender

Mustard Dog · 05-27-2003, 04:46 PM

I was able to shed 600 by tubing the rear half and running skins

BJ On Roids · 05-27-2003, 04:50 PM

are you weighin it before and after?

wngrog · 05-27-2003, 04:51 PM

4780 was the starting point.

I am shooting for 4200 and keeping the tub.

Can you say Cho Moly and Aluminum?

I weighed the BS I took off today and I am up to 70 lbs and I haven't even picked up my plasma cutter

OK, simple question, but, I think it needs to be asked, at least to appease my mind.....

Why?

Why?

Gravity kills you when you weigh nearly 2 tons.

A lot of my wheeling is extreme hill climbing and the light rigs hand me my ass constantly.

This rig will never be light, but there are some things I can do to help the situation.

5K is too heavy for a vehicle the size of Kate.

Plus, I need a project

I am not ready to start on the FJ-45 yet.

TxCruzr · 05-27-2003, 06:04 PM

Here are some steps you should follow to lose alot of weight...

Step 1: Replace LT1 with aluminum 4cylinder(giving me the LT1)
Step 2: Replace rollcage with pvc pipe(giving me the old rollcage)
Step 3: Replace 42'' TSL's with 35'' BFG's(we can trade)

See its not so hard...we can also work out something for the atlas, maybe trade that for my old course spline birfs...their collector edition

Nah, before then.....

The super hood will help a lot too!!!

DavidW · 05-27-2003, 07:43 PM

If you need to delay the 45, I've got a trailer and we could permenantly delay it a little more to the North Texas area.

texican · 05-27-2003, 07:46 PM

It's already in farther north Texas than you are.......

Butch

DavidW · 05-27-2003, 07:59 PM

Don't make me try to go and find it. Actually, I think that 've got my 4wd Suburban traded for aan 88 Toyota p/u, so my wife would kill me if I brought something else home. I've only got 6 vehicle right now.

texican · 05-27-2003, 08:06 PM

It's at my mom's house in her barn, if you can get by the pit bull, the attack cat, and her, you are welcome to it........

Butch

DavidW · 05-27-2003, 08:10 PM

I was pretty close today, We had to go to Kilgore for a funeral. I thought that I sensed a presence when we passed through the metromess. Maybe I was getting near. Or maybe it was just road rage. I feel for those guys who have to put up with that traffic everyday.

texican · 05-27-2003, 08:13 PM

Kilgore is a LONG way from me, I'm 65 miles NE of the Metromess

I was going to make a funny comment..... but no way would I ever insult Butch's MOM!

Nolan... you want something like... go spend a few weeks reading www.rvproject.com Love the comments "few holes here, save 50 grams... it all adds up!

BUMMER -- Buyers for my house have backed out. DAMN, I just want to sell the sucker so I can get moving along with the shop. This double mortgage payment is killing me....

Rock Taxi · 05-27-2003, 08:26 PM

Keep cutting Nolen, I am still tracking to be lighter.

Ed

Drunk Monkey · 05-27-2003, 09:15 PM

I guess I need to weigh my Drunk Monkey. I know I am way heavier than you Nolen.........

I think the wieght helps but we will wait and see. I am also going to the drawing board on my cruiser and redesign a lot of stuff starting with the size of the cruiser.
