wow ken, nice! how did you get the S down to 2682 lbs. did you get rid of most of the creature comforts? (strip that sucka down) or just get rid of a few things here and there? i am putting my KW's in soon and i am looking to get rid of some excess weight.

hmm.. im not sure on what to do to get rid of some weight.. i already took out stock steering wheel/airbags, no spare tire, im opting for a T1R single (non-ti), thinking about stripping out the entire trunk, getting rid of the AC and cruise control, and whatever else crap i can get rid of.. oh well. back to the topic...

don't lose or gain any weight ken, it'll throw off the 50/50 balance, lol.
