How hardcore do you want to get?

Yank the interior, heat off the floor covering, door panels, seats, spare tire, the cabs are 3 layers, cut out the inner roof bracing, same for underhood bracing and all sound deadener, pull any tow packages, yank the bed, swap in a smaller fuel tank, different tires, etc

What do you want to lose the weight for? How much do you want to lose?

Spare tire is pretty heavy. Bumpers too! There are so many things you can take out depending on how deep you wanna get into this.
