Installed my alminum Kirkey bucket seat tonight, used the factory frame rails, so its still adjustable with the stock elctronic switch. Hell yeah :c:

Looks good. Is this in the black truck in your sig? If so, why did you put an aluminum seat in it?

Weight loss. That seat is 11 lbs, vs the 43 lb stocker. I'll pull the passenger, and console for the strip. I'm trying to go fast on minimal mods, and being as light as possible is a part of that

Isnt it your daily driver? That thing will suck for long drives

I realized the weight difference, just looked odd with the passenger seat and console still there if weight reduction is what you were going for. Every little bit counts. :) I have to agree though, long drives won't be the funnest thing to do in that seat. Anything over a couple hours and you'll be hurting, unless you're gonna swap back to stock if you have a long drive.

Toss that shoe out, that's gotta be 12oz-1lb. Roll that maglight on outta there they weigh a few lbs, and make sure that water bottle is empty!:tu:

Meh it hasn't been to bad so far, I can deal with a lot, I drove a 78 F-150 that rode like a log wagon for six years, with poly buckets in it

At the track it'll be completely stripped out, no pass. seat or console, back seats in the garage, along with the tailgate, hitch, bumper, spare tire, tire carrier. Thats about as far as I've gotten so far. Really wanna cut the bed floor out, but I'll wait till I get a lil faster before going that far.

if you really concerned about weight you can drop 200bs of rolling resistance just by switching your wheels and tires back to the stock pyo's and tires, they will hook up just fine

Preacher 07-23-2010 08:15 PM

I don't have the PYO's and tires, or it would already be switched:argh:
